  1. Enjoyed Santiago, to the extent that I have ordered a copy. I didn't rate its big brother Cuba even with the expansion that cured one major issue regarding turn order, the clever mechanisms got swamped with too many building options, but Santiago is much cleaner and packs a lot of decision-making into well under an hour.

    1. I played Matt's copy of Santiago once a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. Kind of like a cut down version of Cuba.

    2. Still have it and still enjoy it. Saving up a load of cash and hammering the car all the way around the track is great fun for throwing people off their planning.

  2. I used to own the original version of Airlines. It's been over 20 years since I played!

    1. I never played the original Airlines, although I nearly picked up a copy from the bring and buy at the first UK expo. I only know this and the "middle child" Union Pacific which I think I prefer.

    2. I also felt Union Pacific came along and did it better based on the original Airlines. Though I always felt Union Pacific could do with a little more streamlining. The new Airlines might have been improved. It certainly plays at a pace with you wrapping up a 4 player game with new players in 70 mins.
