@Fearteiler I reach for the old classics a lot, which annoys people into the cult of the new. Castles of Burgundy, Key Market II, Troyes, Dominion. But I like the newer games, too. Merv, Skylines, Steam Up.

That's the whole point of the Meeple Escape weekend. An Entire weekend of Staying up until 1am on Fri and Sat to play games. A group of people played TI4 with expansions at 7 players. Took the whole of Saturday from 9am-1130pm. The rest of the time. No. Nearly enough time to play games.
