#334: Nothing's Done It Better

Well, we finally did it. We played CATAN, and it was ... good! And then we started wondering, is there anything that's done quite the same thing that that game is doing? And then that got us wondering how many games there are like that, where it's genuinely hard to say that nothing has done it better since. And then that got us wondering if, instead of all this wondering, we should record a podcast episode. Before we wander, we talk about Box Two, Catan: Cities & Knights, and An Infamous Traffic.

09:18 - Catan: Cities & Knights
19:50 - An Infamous Traffic
31:58 - Has anyone done it better?
32:26 - Catan

37:31 - Space Base

40:38 - Dominion
41:17 - Aeon's End
42:22 - Star Realms
42:32 - Shards of Infinity
44:43 - Diplomacy
44:59 - Dune
46:48 - Battle for Rokugan
47:04 - A Game of Thrones: The Board Game (Second Edition)
