There is! It's a tiny place, way out of the way, but I couldn't go to Berlin and not check it out.

Ah yes I played that one last year, did not do it for me at all. I wouldn't say I hate it, I was just entirely ambivalent to it - I couldn't muster up enough enthusiasm about it to hate it

Kingsburg it just feels like arithmetic homework

I only paid £15, including postage so if i don't like it, i can sell it on.

Bang is complete shit. I hate it.

I can't say I particularly hate any games but there are certainly some I'm not overly keen on. Admittedly some of these are based on one or two plays, that may not have gone my way, and I'd be willing to give them all another go.

Formula D: too prone to chance and boring if you get knocked out after 2 corners and have to wait about a week for everyone else to finish.

Citadels: Boring,too much downtime

Firefly: This is definitely down to me having had a bad first game of it but it's far too luck based

Coup: I think I'm starting to enjoy bluffing/shouting at each other game less but having played this last week I was totally unimpressed.

Finally and probably controversially....

Zombicide: I've only played it twice but both times the outcome was inevitable and it was boring just playing it for the sake of it.
