Irish Gauge
60m - 60m
2 - 5 Players
Ages 12+
This mechanic requires you to place a bid, usually monetary, on items in an auction of goods in order to enhance your position in the game. These goods allow players future actions or improve a position. The auction consists of taking turns placing bids on a given item until one winner is established, allowing the winner to take control of the item being bid on. Usually there is a game rule that helps drop the price of the items being bid on if no players are interested in the item at its current price.

I really fell in love with Irish Gauge during my first ten plays. There's a metagame here of alliances and trust that will only develop after several plays. That said, the 45-60 minute run time and the low-hanging options for strategy mean that this one will be fun even with newbies...or so I thought. The fact that this isn't the case is disappointing, because there's so much I enjoy about this game. I love the interplay of the call for dividends mixed with the special interests. The random cube draw on the dividend payout is phenomenal, and brings lots of tension. The timing of whether to call for dividends or let your similarly desperate neighbor do them same is a great tense choice. So is the stock mechanic -- will you overbuy a stock that you desperately need? Both money and stocks are points at the end of the game, so it's all a balancing act. Unfortunately, Irish Gauge has a few issues. New players will struggle to wrap their heads around the game, and it's dependent on a player-based balancing so one person who doesn't 'get' it will skew the table accordingly. Irish Gauge is still a great intro to train games, and it's probably as far as I'll ever dip my toe into the waters, for that matter. This is absolutely the game I wanted [thing=75358]Paris Connection[/thing] to be.

Fun game, it snowballs so it's just long enough. Longer would be too long but the light aspect makes it perfect.

Ez a játék totálisan annak a próbálkozásnak a esete, ami a játék gyorsaságának céljaképp a játék értelmi lényegét vesztette el. Nem is értem a pontszámot. Semmilyen szinten nincs keretek közé zárva és jóformán, akár egy folyamatos akcióval tönkre lehet tenni az egész élményt. Túl van vezérelve a játék kipörgetési lehetősége, tehát túl nagy a szabadság e téren. Két akció is ezt képezi és nevetséges, hogy egy részvényes játékban a megvásárolt részvényeknek nincs idejük profitot termelni. Rettentően lineáris a játék és aki az első két körben megszedi magát az csak akkor nem nyer, ha a többiek összefognak ellen. Még sikerült kiszállnom a második rész megrendeléséből - bár jóval komplexebb - én inkább maradok a STEAM, Age of steam, Railway of the world vonalon... A játék komponensei minőségiek, ezt elismerem.... Ez egy nagyon szubjektív vélemény felőlem, de az első parti után elég csúnyán néztek rám a spanok. A második parti után megenyhültek, és már úgy éreztem, megúszom ezt az estét, de nem vihetem vissza a játékot. Ettől még lehet jó a játék, de mi pogácsát adtunk neki.
