Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

I'm always glad to see people enjoying Finspan, but I generally disagree when people say it's easier than the other "Span" games...I guess it *is* easier to learn the rules, but I find that managing your resources can be a lot more difficult so the decision-making space can be more challenging.

Bgg is your friend. It states how easy/difficult a game is from 1 to 5 in the weight category

Yes, would just try 1846! I might not be made for the 18xx series but would surely give it a try at some local club to test myself. I am fine with complex games but TTR's complexity seemed forced to me. Everyone can beat me in Dobble(both in sober and drunk state). What turns me off from dobble is no game difficulty progression over time. And ig if not difficult, at least make it more fun. Ugg Tect is a great example not difficult but can be made increasingly fun with house rules. Would definitely get a deeper look at Jungle Speed, Ghost Blitz, SET and come back to you. Thanks for the wonderful suggestions!

Great game, bad rulebook. Things are organized in a weird way that makes rule checks difficult. If you find that you don't like the default Sabotage mode, I strongly recommend jumping straight to the Ultramachina game mode and trying that. It's a bit more deterministic and takes the movement randomness out, which is theost common complaint I have seen for the game. I like the expansion characters and the new mechanics (carbon) but I could take or leave the new game modes in Fauxzilla.

Definitely, only problem some more difficult card abilities, you should explain them in the 2-3 first games. After that IO think it should be ok.
