I'm kicking myself for taking so long to place this classic:

Now maybe I can get some sleep, as this one's been bugging me since I saw it!

#3 Who knew plastic pastel camels could be so vindictive? There's nothing more fun than blocking your opponent's camel trains!

The game is classic area control, and the FFG edition has candy-coloured camels that look almost good enough to eat.

The game idea is extremely simple: you gain points for building long chains of camels to link hexes containing oases, waterholes, and encircle sections of board.

Each their own indeed. This is the most successful gateway game I own, having helped turn a dozen people into regular gamers. It's also the most popular game at my game club--a club that roundly rejected 7 Wonders and Eclipse (other favourites include Agricola, PR, and Dominion).

this is how my son feels about Ticket to Ride....the rest of us love it and he wanted to play so badly...so we let him. He sat there for 10 minutes and said 'this is it? All you do is put trains on the board?" we said "yep" and he got up and left.

It was really funny considering how much he had wanted to play the game before.

A fun-themed abstract that plays well with up to 5, and only takes about 4 smallish sized pages of rules to learn, but offers some good light strategy.

I mis-typed! Thanks for catching that. My edition has about four pages slightly below normal sized pages.
