Horses for courses! I love Abstracts in general and seek out streamlined games with a high complex analysis to low rule overhead ratio. Perhaps this is why Feld doesn't appeal much to me - while his game mechanisms are so appealing, there is too much going on (not streamlined) and his game rules are exhausting in explaining it all - if that makes sense.
@@tonycork2pa469 yes I get your point. For me Feld is (just) on the right side of the complexity cut off point before it starts feeling more like work than leisure. And I always print out player aids / icon guides if games don’t come with them (it should be a prisonable offence to publish a game without them)
I share your passion for Feld but you’ve totally lost me with these 2 player abstracts. Nothing about them appeals
