Your definition of "game" must be different than mine

Have been tempted to pick up Puerto Rico on the iPad lately... anyone have opinions on it, the board game or the app for that matter?

Puerto Rico is an excellent game. Every game feels different as you react to the decisions your opponents make. It can be punishing sometimes, even through no fault of your own, but you just accept that and hope the next time works out better for you. I've been playing it for several years and still haven't tired of it, which I can't say about some other games (are you out there, Pandemic?).

Although I've never played electronically or against the computer, so I can't vouch for those versions.

Haven't there already been several expansions that have come out already (Mannekis, Catan, Leaders, Cities)? Or are you talking about another expansion coming out?

I liked Pandemic the first few times I played, then I just got frustrated. Neat idea, and I get why people like it though.

I'm not sure I understand your comment

Other people in this thread have mentioned card games, so I figured it was fair game, and definitely worth a mention.

I sorta killed our Killer Bunnies by buying to many of the expansions. It got a bit annoying after a while trying to play with such a large deck.

It can be fun. not one of my favorites, but still can be fun.

i think we only had one expansion. and even that felt like a big deck.
