Last week, we did play Viva Pamplona! and it went over fairly well with the new players, though it wasn't a hit. Thank goodness that Kevin Whitmore reminded me that the start player should rotate each turn, as that is as close to a "must" variant any game has. Nico asked who the designer was because it in some ways reminded him of That's Life!, which is another Kramer game.
This week I am going to bring along Rüdiger Dorn's Louis XIV. It's the first of the Alea medium boxes and would have made a nice addition to the big box line if was chosen to be added there. It's an influence/area-control game which has a "flavor" similar El Grande.
I haven't played it in about four years, which is way too long for this to go neglected. I dragged it out on occasion, but haven't really tried to get it played. That changes this week. Will I be successful? Will we have five or two people available to play all day? We'll see...
