Imaginarium

Difficult for beginner but so good when you master it

The surrealistic theme is engrossing, the engine you build is satisfying and the game doesn't overstay its welcome. This is a medium weight engine builder which anybody can enjoy. The flying pigs are awsome and over-sized player pawns seem like they just came out of Alice's Looking Glass. This game is a welcome addition to my collection.

Love the weird steampunk theme. Love the crunchy resource bits. Love this as a fairly short two-player competitive machine-builder.

My wife and I were really surprised by this game. The iconography is a bit of a learning curve and the art/theme surely will turn some people off. But this is right up my alley.

Pretty good game of managing production then destruction, quite fast as it is a race to 20 points. Only ever played with 2 players, the scale down works fine and gives interesting options.
