I seems to me that when I used to play alot last year there was always 4-6 player Europe 1914 and New World speed games. These game are awesome, the point values are low and it takes serveral hours to play. Couple this with flat rate spoils and you are in for a marathon game. Now I know I am not a keystone player in the CC community, but I urge players out there reading this to create/ join these games. They are hella fun, and with some time I am sure you will learn to love them again. Escpecially Euro 1914.
