Major League: Oakland

What’s the minimum number of players you need for this game? I want to get it and it looks fun but I’m worried that my consistent group is just too small.

I surprisingly like this game. It fills an interesting niche with placing cards in the right way. It also does a really good job not overstaying its welcome.

I played Great Western Trail again. I love this game so much but hate having to tell my friends to think about their turn before their turn happens. When their turn comes and they’re staring at the board for a few minutes just thinking, it really grinds the game to a halt.

I’d make a five room dungeon that basically has 2-3 traps and 2-3 encounters. Since it’s only 2-3 hours you don’t want to have too much set up time of them meeting in a tavern. For a one shot sometimes it’s just fun to say “you’ve been hired to clear the old mine outside of town. The mine used to be used by the villagers as their major source of trade. But the goblins came along and stole it from them.” Then drop them off a little distance from the mine and give them a wilderness encounter before they enter it.
