“I find the stance "we want more people to play games" is not good enough. People won't get into the hobby if all you recommend are games that last two plays.
They need to cover good games and for that they need to play them more than once or even 5 times.

I think this wasn't as apparent initially because when they started out they would defer to classics to steer their judgement. But I think with them around for longer Knizia would be overlooked by them as dry.
This is based on them ignoring Spirit Island, any of Lang's games, Lacerda's games. And not rediscovering them until recently (apart from Lang).

Also if I drew a parallel with covering video games you need to pay through at least half of the game. You can get distracted on "ooh shiny" but it will wear off quickly. So why not test that with boardgames?
For example: it's like playing the first 2 hours of God of war [insert any game] and declaring it the best game ever - that would never fly. (Even when it is actually a good game)
-----
So if you say nemesis is good - this will steer the industry towards that. If you ignore something like spirit Island - it will kill off the game in 95% is the cases.
And this rant is here because they have such a large spot in the hobby. They need to be better.
Ps: I think Tom is a change towards this actually.”Read full review »
