… Play Nice (please)
Comments from BGG: Buy Race for the Galaxy instead of its cheap imitation Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition (which had an outsourced design team). Ares Expedition is what happens when you get the idea of mixing two great games, Terraforming Mars and Race for the Galaxy, and somehow leave out the good bits and are left wishing you were playing either of the parent games instead.
Overview:

This is the sequel to the original, and by most accounts a much better game!

Here is Kim Tolson (she has great game summaries) comparing the first three Azul games (I queued it up to where she talks about Stained Glass of Sintra (which was her #1 Azul game) you can go back to watch from the beginning if you want):
I remember playing Mill in Grade School. It is not a game that you “buy”. You simply draw your own game board on a piece of paper or even in the sand at a beach. Just draw three squares, one inside another inside another. Then draw circles at the corners of all the squares. Then draw a line through the middle of each of the four sides to connect the squares to each other putting circles at the connection points. Voila. You have your game board:
Next … you need 9 markers for each of the two players. One could use pennies the other use nickels. Or one could use white poker chips and the other use red poker chips. Or use colored stones. Your choice :)
The game starts by alternating placing a marker on the board until all 18 markers have been placed. Then turns alternate moving a marker from one spot to another along a line.
Three of one players markers in a row or column is called a “mill” and is “safe” (ie, the opponent cannot take a marker that is part of a mill).
Ever since I saw Kim Tolson’s hilarious review of Doomlings, I have been watching her extremely high quality videos. And I have watched enough of them that YouTube is now recommending her older videos to me! This is one that YouTube said I should watch … and Right On! It is not about the Games (even though Kim mostly reviews board games). It is about A PERSON. And I agree!
So … this is short video is also for MY FAVORITE THING from our own tiny Sunday Game Day afternoons! All of you who come for Game Day are my favorite! Blessings to you!
That said … watch Kim talk about hers:
