have in recent weeks, I thought about it that I'm relatively rarely happens that I am from a game was not convinced at first that this is in play again, but suddenly changed. Such games I call comeback games because, after they have already reached almost hopeless rear, still go through the finish as the winner.
probably happened to me the only "comparatively rare", because I'm mean and supposedly bad games do not often give second chances. I am, as mentioned before, a news junkie. After all I can think of but a couple of songs that I can sort easily into this category.
As would be before any other " The Lord of the Rings " by Reiner Knizia, published 2000 in the cosmos. Who I know today, may not believe it, count " The Lord of the Rings " but one of my favorite games, but when I did in October 2000 played at the fair in Essen for the first time, it's failed completely and fully. Perhaps the time was not for the cooperation us, maybe it was on Sunday, the fourth day of the show, just not the right time ... Presumably it is also because the first game in person was quite a letdown. We had a player at the table, the idea of cooperation could not get anything and the game were, "try out" wanted to see if it is stable in this regard. Cognition: Yes, the game is stable against uncooperative approach. Then win just come Sauron and the hobbits die miserably in Moria. Fun it is therefore but none at all.
Sun I've two (!) needed years to get me the game actually increased and granted him a second chance have. I'm glad I did it.
More comeback games in my closet are " Bluff" by Richard Borg, published by FX Schmid and "Mississippi Queen " by Werner Hodel, published by Gold Sieber. Both games, which brought the respective publishers as the long-desired pawn and title Game of the Year ". Both games I got in my rather elitist "Only real element of luck and please no less complex than Republic of Rome" phase on the table. Back then (in my naive Spielerjungend) I was convinced that the best play award by a vintage Pawns and was therefore disappointed by the two bitter experiences.
Here was the problem so one did not meet expectations. But the game can not, but that was as a player learn naturally first. With my today's earned wisdom of age, I see that both titles were in each year a good selection of the jury. At that time I have doubted the world and would rather have a game of "Civilization " played. " Bluff" is a timeless genius that demands a number of different skills. to bluff Under Stress (who would have thought), a good poker face, a good deal Fortunately, tactical skill and a good assessment of the players here are absolutely necessary. "Mississippi Queen ", however, is just a nice family game that I have when I think about it long ago could do with playing again.
Finally, I would like to mention " street soccer " by Corné van Moorsel, published in 2002 Cwali. With "street soccer " I'm initially not warm, because the rules for me (again) were almost too simple. In addition, it also had a soccer theme, which one can drive me away pretty sure the table. I have tried it at first then online. Only on littlegolem.net and later in the BSW where I was able to convince me over time like that in this little box a lot more to it than a fortune-dependent kicking around. The tactical finesse that I make from time to still discover, " street soccer " a good comeback game .
Shortly something technical: How the gentle reader has probably noticed, there have been a few days with my short profile on the right side is a small list of games I had as the last on the table. This very useful service is made possible through a small JavaScript that we as Registered users on the BoardGameGeek gets. There, I wear regularly in my profile the games played and rate them too often between now and the BGG scale of 1 to 10
So if you see "Recently played ..." no pictures of games see this, then trust yourself and just turn JavaScript on time ... not absolutely necessary feature, but nice.
