While gaming at Dave's last night, it became quite clear that I'm Euroed out. I was prepared to sit around doing nothing for two hours rather than play Power Grid, which actually is one of my favourite Euro board games.
However, as the game was being set up and it seemed like everyone was interested in playing, I decided to opt out. It's not like Power Grid is a bad game (it isn't), but I'm so sick of the Euro style of game right now that I felt like I'd rather not play anything than play Power Grid last night.
Thankfully, I'm not the only who's Euroed out. Dave M. has also been getting much more antsy about them, as well, so while the others started into Power Grid, Dave and I started into an old Avalon Hill football simulation game called Paydirt -- and it was a lot of fun. Statistics, charts, probability theory, a touch of Rock Paper Scissors and a lot of dice rolling -- that's the kind of gaming that I want to do right now.
