I really can't say I'd ever submit Settler's as a game for "casuals." I mean, it's a cool enough game, I get it and all. But, there is just something about it that bugs me. Maybe it's the look. Maybe the way it works. I dunno. Just rubs me the wrong way.

Agree that Memoir44 is awesome and Ticket to Ride. I'd prolly say "TTR" might be a little more family friendly. But M44 is SO much fun. I've played it maybe 5 times and it was great everytime. What was the game before it with the same system but like civil war? I liked that one a lot too.

It's late and you people all post too much stuff. Go back to the inaction team format. Was easier to reply to stuff (now I forget half the stuff I just seen OMG!)
