We have the problem of not having enough stocks to matter when people sell theirs off. So people end up behaving as if there is no secret information. Do you have a house rule?
@PaxPixie

@@grog3514 As far as I'm aware, after around 50 playthroughs of the game with various groups and players, we haven't really encountered that problem. Do you make sure to seed each pile with a card before everyone places so every pile has a stock/card? We missed that rule the first few times. Granted, you typically have a good idea of who has what towards the end of the game, but it's always a surprise at the end of the game to see who has how many of something. Generally I would guesstimate average players end the game with around 5-9 stocks in their portfolio, although it can be as low as 2-3, but the person with so few typically either did something wrong, or had a really wacky strategy and they generally don't win because the goal is to get stocks. We definitely never play with open information. That's the fun of the game. I may know 3 people have stocks in 1 color but no idea how many they have because I don't know what they picked up in their latest stockpile. Not sure if that helps you.

@ Sheriff: don't use the clip on the bag. The bags are quite easy to tear apart when you do it too much. Just close the bag without using the clip. Then your game can be played more times. @Ticket to Ride USA: the original game has a terrible design flaw. Your chance to win is quite high if you just get endless cards and claim all big routes without doing any cards. You crash the game early before anyone has the opportunity to make the lucrative routes. This trick doesn't work in the other versions though. @Pandemic: Play with people that are on the same level as you. What happens a lot in this game (and other coop games) is that one player sees the solutions, resulting in a so called 'alpha'-gamer. He/she solves the game every time. It can be problematic after a while. Keep that in mind if you want to play it.

So I grew up with Hasboro. The classic Monopoly and candyland, clue, guess who and risk stuff. Eventually my family got into canasta. I played Heroes Quest and dnd with my friends growing up and Magic the gathering. It wasn't until around the beginning of the pandemic I started to gk back to finally exploring board games as a hobby but as my own adult finding my own interests I started with Clans of Caledonia first then jumped into Mage Knight when the ultimate edition had a reprint. I tend to do my own thing in life and that works for me. I like both games a lot and branched out since. I got to play catan once as a kid a long time ago, I don't remember it much. My parents will play ticket to ride ocassionally but I find it boring honestly. I need complex strategy engine builders. Or something. Tho I kept up with complex video games my whole life. And now I get the ocassional boardgame on steam during sales. And epic had gloomhaven free for a while. I haven't played it yet. On my list. But I enjoy wingspan on steam. And I want to get root.

12:40 Magic maze is terrible if you want to keep friends. In cooperative games you need good communication and diplomacy. Maybe a bit of negotiation and deception. In Magic maze, the worst communicator bangs the giant red pawn angrily on the table and we have to do what he says fast. It's... corporate culture at its worst. In coop games, the best strategy is to make use of everyone's strengths. In Magic maze, the best strategy is to blindly follow what the leader bangs. It's a one person game with 3 people in your way.
