@Profilename1 lol, yeah, Italian Railroads was.... "not good" and would require more development and changes if it were to get licensed (IMHO). I did recoup my cash on that one at least. I actually *did* like Iberian Railways though, but it requires a very careful reading of the game and John's explanation that you *want* to make and break ties as ties score for those tied in each category and you can even tie yourself in some categories and score extra points. That's the point of the game, but it's buried in an explanation note that I'm not sure many have caught. I actually pointed it out to Ken Hill and it was revelatory (and that was AFTER the licensed it and announced it on BGG). Southern Pacific is the one unlicensed Winsome I still have, and it's about shuffling/suitcasing money to your advantage, but it has a very narrow "good" player count in my mind, and some terrible accounting...
I haven't even cracked open Horseless Carriage yet. I have the errata package taped to the back side of the box currently... That's a fall task I guess.
Horseless Carriage is great. SoPac is one I still need to try. There was a copy at DoamCon last weekend, but I didn't get a game in. I did get West Riding Revisited in, which is excellent. It's one of the few cube rails to have minor and major railways. I'd like to see it licensed, but it's a little unlikely
@Profilename1 If you're headed to #PaxUnplugged this winter, I'm happy to bring Southern Pacific and try and put together a 3 or 4p game. I know some other train gamers who are going so that should be doable.
Send me a DM if so.
Nah, I probably won't make it to Pax Unplugged. I will be at Age of Steam Con, so I might get a play in there.
