I got to play Wasteland Express Delivery Service again. I like the fact that when the game ends it just ends, but on the other hand it always comes before I am ready (otoh, the play time is just about as long as a game can be in our fairly short game nights). I'm having fun tooling around the wasteland, and then wham, over. And given that I like the stuff I am doing, i am not strongly incentivised to try to win and end the game, but the other players almost always are. I kind of want the play space to be bigger, like you have to really soup up your truck to move from outpost to outpost in a single turn bigger. I am still pissed at the designer's lack of thesaurus...

It wasn't my first choice for games tonight, and in fact, I almost left it at home so it wouldn't be a competing pick for the game i wanted most to play. I am not super big on playing games over and over again for the most part, though I am happy to play something with a bit more time between plays. (Except Suburbia, which I am trying to convince myself to get in on the kickstarter for the upgrade game with bigger tiles and brighter art.)
