Recent rules reading:

Civilization, which claims you can finish the game in one setting with the standard rules.

Hammer of the Scots a game I’m desperately trying to work in, but I’ve heard it takes a few hours to play.

Bohnanza, I just learned this and reading the rules made me think of the fun I had.

What about you?

Oh, I’ve also found them lite reading when you’re sick, which I am.

The first card is random, but as someone on Boardgamegeek pointed out to me, I was just wrong. Only the first one is random. Whew, I really wanted to like this game and now it looks like I can give it another chance.
