Trans Europa

There are certain traditions when we play games. One of them is that it's essential to announce "I've all 5 corners of the board" when you look at your cards.

However, some of us were being a bit more honest than others when we made this claim. Chrissy was being very honest. Frank and Steve were being qute honest. And Oggie was being a big fat lier. This was obviously the case because he won every single round.

Frank didn't seem too keen on the game, considering it all a bit random and down th the luck of the cards. This is a debate that's raged since the game first came out. I'm of the school of thought that there's a bit more subtlety to it. Who knows which of us is right.

Somethign else I don't know is why the European based version of this game doesn't have maps on the cards. Being a Brit, I'm not totally unfamiliar with the map of the continent. But I'd still prefer the little maps on the cards as they do make it a little easier to play.
