Fjords. It cropped up in discussion while I was looking at 2-player area control games. It sounded interesting, but I have a feeling that my partner would hate it. It’s a game where you spend the first half laying tiles to build a shared landscape, and strategically placing your 4 houses, and the second half placing as many meeples as possible. Your points all come from that second half, but my impression is that almost the entire game is in the first half, such that anyone who plans their early moves the best with the end-game in mind is liable to crush a less-attentive player. Nothwithstanding my A.P. I think I might enjoy it, but I’m guessing it would go down like a ton of bricks if I tried to introduce it at home…
