Game Cabinet

There is a body of opinion forming that I like everything that Reiner Knizia designs and dislike the games of Klaus Teuber. Two alliterative words to disprove the theory: . I think the truth is that, on average and much more frequently, Herr Knizia rings my bell in design approach, interesting systems and "feel" whereas Herr Teuber produces less frequently, sometimes with evident effort and with less success for me. I think it is a personal taste thing, and nothing more. All of which buys me some more time to praise another of Reiner's little games. Not because it is the greatest game of the year, or even a very good one, but it has some neat ideas, is a little game that I played, I liked and I still play which, these days, is all I ask. Considering the usual fate of these small games, that bravely swim ashore each Spring only to be savagely picked apart by the gannets of gaming, any game that avoids cries of "Burn it!" is doing well.
