Great review!

I like this guy's style.

Nice!

I keep meaning to get this game again, actually. I love the concept. It's satirical, funny and oddly insightful. The gameplay is definitely Euro, but it does skew more toward old fashioned Euro. I love the letter in the game too, such a cool touch.

Good review -- we really enjoy this game and have played it several times now.

Thanks for the heads up. From the box alone I'd probably have avoided it, but I think I'll at least try this one if given the chance.

Hey thanks for the kind words everyone!

So I just found out that Portal has an expansion that is due to hit stores any time now. I guess it debuted at Essen. It looks like they learned their lesson and decided to ditch the terrible stuffy box art of the first game.



Man, talk about a difference in tone. It certainly informs a potential buyer that this might be a lighter style Euro, perhaps even one with a sense of humor. This is a good thing for me because Legacy has to be one of the hardest games to get to a table simply based on looks. People take one gander at the box and instantly determine that it looks about interesting as a bowl of cream of wheat. Damn.
