Jake and Mark are joined today by very special guest Craig Taylor. Craig is one of the hosts of “The Train Rush” podcast – an awesome podcast about 18xx and train games. He joins us today to talk about “Games that Punch Above Their Weight” – or games that have high strategic complexity relative to their amount of rules.
We talk about The Estates, Power Grid, Hanamikoji, Brass Lancashire, Arboretum, Indonesia, Glass Road, The Climbers, and Stephenson’s Rocket.
