SUSD Euro Games Shortlist

This is from their review of Golem

I thought this is a nice short list of Euro games the team likes. Posting here so you don’t have to scratch your head on where you’ve seen that video and on what min:sec.

NB: it’s missing Tzolkin but hmmm fine

That’s a great list. And in some ways, surprising.

I do love when board game media can put attention on older, established games and remind everyone that the “new hostness” is actually a very small part of the overall hobby.

The power grid review was back in the days of season 1?

Quinns also did a review of the 10th anniversary edition.

So they’ve reviewed it twice.

Games like Food Chain Magnate and Power Grid don’t feel like Euro games and more like Economic games, if we can make our own category. In much the same way that 18xx is (practically) its own genre. Are Crayon Rail games euros?

This is pretty much a “the word Euro is mostly meaningless nowadays”. FCM I can see being classified as such due to it being an engine builder. PG rather feels old school.

The immortal Village :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Sidereal Confluence is the one that stands out to me the most as not being a euro.

I suppose that depends on whether you think that building engines that turn cubes into other cubes is a defining feature of Euros :grin:

Not defining. Sometimes the cubes becomes coins.
