Hi there,

Thanks for the wonderful comments. Indeed, I am “usagi-san” on BGG.com. All the reviews here are written by me including the Chicago Express one.

Have a great day!

Hello! I like the video you’ve made for the year’s games. I also think the game reviews are very well written and look professional. Is Mr. Bunny from BGG.com the writer for all the posted reviews at this website (as he is for Chicago Express)? Who is the review author and how do I contact them? I think your website, although fairly new, is a great focus for the boardgaming industry.

Ah! I found “Aquadukt”; no I haven’t played that game either. My comments above still stand.

Happy gaming!

I have played Chinatown. As for “Aquaduct” I am not sure there is a game named that. Did you mean, “Aqua Romana?” If so, then I haven’t played that game.

I enjoyed Chinatown and I think Santiago is different from it. In Chinatown there is negotiation but it can continue for some time. In Santiago, you are “bribing” the Canal Overseer and you can only do that once.

Possibly, you may be able to coerce other players into bribing the way you want. However, in terms of “feel”, I think Santiago is a lot meaner than Chinatown.

Would I recommend Santiago? Yes, but with the understanding that the bribing of the Canal Overseer can be a bit much for some players.

Happy gaming!

I own Chinatown and Aquaduct, we enjoy both. Will this feel like a nice progression or redundant?

Thanks for your comments. I agree wholeheartedly with you; I find that mixing all the decks and playing together is a great gaming experience. In my usual lunch-time gaming group, we often do this. We can play 3 games in an hour!
