Isaac&#39;s girlfriend Mackenzie visited us yesterday and we got to play a couple games. We started off playing [b]Machi Koro[/b], which is a game that we&#39;ve played a few times with Beth, but she can&#39;t ever remember playing it. Personally, I think of Machi Koro as being similar to Catan since you want to build a variety of things so that you pick up resources no matter what gets rolled. In the case of Machi Koro, the money is the only resource and you don&#39;t have trading to deal with. It plays much faster since there is less to deal with but I could definitely imagine a Catan branded version of Machi Koro. <br /><br />I started off the game getting the first couple Wheat Fields and started to get a nice lead. Eventually I bought a Stadium and things really seemed like they were picking up for me, but Beth was making her way up. Beth got more of the buildings above 6 than I did. I bought a few of the Mines but they never paid out. Beth was close to building the last landmark, but I had a second Stadium and managed to roll a 6, taking some money that she needed for that build, however it wasn&#39;t a very good payout for me overall and I couldn&#39;t get my final landmark built either. After taking another turn to save some money, Beth finally won the game. I had 3 of the landmarks built, Mackenzie had 2, and Isaac had 1.
