That’s fair! Stephenson’s Rocket is definitely one of the more polarizing Knizia Games out there — probably because the game is much more opaque than his usual stuff.

Stephenson’s Rocket I played with some friends when it came out at Essen and we were all underwhelmed

I played with other friends on my return and the reaction was similar

I sold and bought it again to see if I had been mistaken but no it was still lacklustre

No idea why some people like it!

That was a fun list to read! Thanks for sharing.

Taj Mahal almost made my Top 10. It was between that and High Society at #10. I’ve only played Taj Mahal twice so far and I’m dying to try it again.

Battle Line is great as well! Since it is one of your favorites, you should check out Schotten Totten 2. It’s a very interesting spin on Battle Line with asymmetric objectives and abilities.

I’d love to try Blue Moon Legends, just not for $150+ which is the current rate for a used copy. Hopefully a publisher brings it back soon.

I’ve got Whale Riders + the card game, Equinox, Royal Visit, and Tutankhamun on preorder (yes, I need help). I also recently picked up Quo Vadis and Amun-Re used. Played Quo Vadis twice, it’s a very clever negotiation game. Amun-Re is still awaiting our first play.

Thanks for the support!

A lot of overlap, you are missing Battle Line, Blue Moon, and Taj Mahal from my Top 10.
I own Stephenson’s Rocket but I have not gotten a chance to play it yet.
I have reached the point where I am chasing down his harder-to-find titles and buying foreign language versions.

It is exciting that you are partnering with him to publish some new games, I will certainly be taking a look.
