Im a gamer who likes heavy Euros, and am married to a non gamer who at most plays light games with me. I was hesitant to bring Fromage to the table, but my wife saw how excited I was and agreed to play with me. She really enjoyed the game! The teach wasn't too bad (thats usually thr worst for her), and she grasped the concepts quickly. She loved the overall playtime, as we were done within an hour, even with the teach. The simultaneous play really helped, but we played the first 4 turns independently to get the basics of each region. We really felt the time went quickly and it did not overstay its time on the table. I think you may be a little harsh on yhe non-gamer side, and I hope it doesnt scare people away. Definitely give this game a shot, it may surprise you!
As someone who plays only light to medium-weight games, I love Fromage! The simultaneous play, the four different types of mini-games, and the theme make this one of my top games of the year as well. It’s also saved me money as it has taught me not to buy any area control games because I’m terrible in that realm.
Sound like you and I (Lance) have similar tastes! Area control is definitely not my thing, so I like the small bit of it in Fromage as it's the right amount of it for me.
@@Love2HateBGreviews thx, but i don't like simultaneous gameplay. was hoping for traditional turn-based structure, so people can track what others are doing.

Well, there goes my money!
It's a great game!
thanks for saving me some money!
Glad to have helped, but do give Fromage a try when you can. It might surprise you!
