Out of curiosity, that sounds almost like Colonia... I wonder which came first.....
Macao is nothing like Colonia, other than the fact that cubes can be used to "purchase" things. =P

I am curious. Would you play with someone who employs the strategy of drafting tiles they cannot use solely to deny you? I agree that it is a valid strategy, but I feel it is not in the spirit of this game and I personally would prefer not to play anyone that feels they need to win so badly to resort to this. I just had a game where someone already took two tiles in the last round that were obviously more useful to me, but since he can still place them, I said nothing. Then he proceeded to take all of the ship tiles when he's already done with ships, knowing I needed one more to complete my set of six. The ironic thing is that I had the exact same opportunity to screw him, he needed a church to finish the set of eight buildings. There were two available and I can only make use of one, I could've grabbed both but decided to just let it play out, allowing him to stay competitive. I was called a crybaby, but it's just not the way I play games (I call it hate drafting)...I still beat him though.

November 9th gaming!

Funnily enough I read the rules to Crystal Palace and Maracaibo before Essen, neither seemed particularly interesting. The former had a convoluted set of mechanics that felt complicated for the sake of being complicated, and the latter felt like you're basically doing 4 rounds of the same things. I played La Stanza and QE as well, one was okay, but really hurt by the less than intuitive rules, the other I didn't care for simply because I don't like auction/bidding (blind) games.
In other news, I believe the reimplementation of Larry's Deduce or Die is on Kickstarter today.
