Settlers of Catan.
With the "penny rule":
On any die roll where you get NO resources that isn't due to the robber, you get a penny. During your trading round, you can turn is as many pennies as you have victory points showing for a single resource.
This reduces the game's tendency to knock someone out of the running three rounds in because of a set of bad rolls.
- adnam 19y agoYeah, love Siedler. Thanks for the penny rule tip! If you like Siedler, you might like a Dutch card game called "Koehandel".
- eru 19y agoOr the (original) German version 'Kuhhandel'. Or the English one 'You're bluffing'. Be warned: Kuhhandel is a very mean game though. http://boardgamegeek.com/game/1117 http://boardgamegeek.com/game/1117

Also, I like resource scarcity - under your game, I have a high incentive to pick 'bad' locations because I stand to profit more. Initial deployment is a key part of the game--as is trading resources!
- sanj 19y agoNot really. It turns out that you still end up falling behind, just not as quickly. Run to the wood and brick and get those roads built!
