Was playing Blood Rage again yesterday. Solid game, built on solid mechanics expertly blended but no innovation

I agreed - thought it was fine, but not all it's cracked up to. Certainly shouldn't get all those awards.

I found it interesting how the game looks so american from the components but the mechanics are very european

IMO i shows that the American/Euro distinction is outdated - games are blurring those lines more & more

I agree, and I think that's great. I've even heard

Why can't they just be games? These c ategories are for insiders, don't help new people in the hobby.

Yes, and I don't think games have to fit either category but it makes them easier to explain.

do you think euro/ameri has a place in describing direct conflict vs efficiency games?

Yes, it's still relevant. Doesn't mean euro games can only come from europe though.

agreed. I played El Grande yesterday. I was surprised how much conflict the old "eurogame" had.

Area control/majority is definitely associated with american-style games. Do cubes = euro?

blurred lines like everything, but generally I'd agree to that

That's funny to me, condensing a style of games in one component. Then Dice = American?
