I paid 19.80 back when that good deal was going on at boardsandbits. I bought this, Agricola, and Merchants and Marauders. None of these have gotten sold yet. None of them have gotten played a lot yet.

We'll see.

It is the long haul with these 3.

Not too heavy for us either when it comes to boardgames. We're a little scared of complexity. Loyang doesn't scare us as much.

With 2P, this is the best of the three you bought. (Even with 3P it's close.)

During some downtime, or what passes for it now, we played Loyang once.

Also, if you missed it, here's Linus' formal introduction to BGG.

weird, Loyang was the game we played in the first few days when our Linus popped out!

we actually managed a bit of gaming in the first few months, since they do tend to just sit about in their little baskets, its later when they start crawling, climbing and running (and not sleeping) when it will really get to you!

My best gaming experience in March was undoubtedly my 8th annual game day with my youngest daughter, Lindy, who is now 19. We kicked off with Loyang, and, not counting the use of Le Boomb for starting players, we played 14 games between 8:30 am and 11:00 pm. For a full account go here:
Jon & Lindy's 8th Annual Game Day

I also had fun with teaching Lindy Loyang on her week at home from college and playing it with her 7 times (including the above mentioned game day).

One other noteworthy experience in March was playing En Garde and Jaipur with Lindy in Tim Hortons over coffee and doughnuts. Lots of turned heads. It was great.

I am so happy to have such a good gaming partner in my now adult daughter!

I seem to like this one more than most. I would never play it with 4 (too much down-time), but I really enjoy it with 2 or 3. Not quite as good as Agricola, Le Havre, or Ora, for my money, but still an excellent game.

After Petz we decided to do some three player Loyang. My horrible card luck got even worse as I was barely able to afford my 1 point buy for the first three rounds. The girls handily trounced me with multiple two and three point turn buys. In the end Anna had things a bit more together than Maida and pulled off her first Loyang win ever. Fun night for me, even though I lost.

Anna - 19 points with 4 coins left
Maida - 18 points with 18 coins left
Rich - 16 points with 16 coins left

While by no means poorly ranked, Loyang seems to get a bad rap from those who love its siblings. Something of a disappointment I guess. I picked up Loyang on the cheap and ended up loving it.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Finally played after buying it cheap almost a year ago. Another first time player and I both loved it. Not as good as Le Havre, but I like it as much or better than Agricola.

Just got this in a mathtrade. Me and my gf love it way more than Agricola. Something about the limitations found in Agricola stress me and her out. This game is complex but manageable. It's always a good sign when my gf wants to play a 2 hour game again right after finishing our first game up.

Two hours?

...

Oh first game!

Yeah that first one has a bit of a learning curve to hit but about half way through it seems to click.

I would teach this game more often if it wasn't for the learning curve.

I REALLY wanted to like this game since I had really enjoyed Agricola. I love the theme, don't mind multiplayer solitaire games as long as there is subtle interaction [London and RFTG are prime nominees] and the whole thing had great components. Rules were simple and I felt I had a pretty good idea of the game before I had purchased it.

Problem was it fell flat for me after a game. Decided to give it a few more games before I made an opinion, but it just never really improved for me. It plays alright solo, but adding 1-2 players into the mix, I felt like I was essentially playing by myself and just waiting to go on my turn. We sped that up to when no one was going to use any "attack" cards we would all just do our turn. It still gets an occasional play, but it's probably my biggest disappointment in my collection.

I have to dissagree because is my favorite from the harvest trilogy, but i know this game is not for everyone.

Is actually a multiplayer solo game, you play for your survival and that´s it.

I really enjoy this game a light game to play in the evenings with my wife. According to the rules, this game is actually the precursor to Agricola. I have not played it with more than two players yet.

Another one I've only played solo here. I should teach my roommates, but I don't want to burn them out. Mosiah had a hard enough time with Citadels.

I brought it due to it's lack of an insert, meaning I could pack a bunch of the small card games into it.
