100% agree on the "take that" approach; going to be checking out Castles by the sea now.

I have the opposite problem you have with games that have shorter early rounds and big late game rounds. I like watching the pay off at the end but it does bug me when it seems to take FOREVER to get there (Terraforming Mars with no expansions being a prime example) one game that in my opinion gives that pay off while keeping turns snappy is Century (Spice Road or Golem Edition same game different skin) you do one of 4 things and you end up with a hand of cards that chain off each other if you play your cards right (bad word play there lol)

I rarely get annoyed at things in board games, but one of my few pet peeves are abilities in games to completely negate whatever another player is doing. Some area control games with combat where there's a card that basically says "you can't attack player X during this turn". Maybe not the best game but Risk 2210 AD is pretty much like this where you play 5 years, but almost every game I've played of this game, people save their negating cards for the last year so basically the ending round is the most boring round in the entire game where people are locked in place or barely can do anything.

I get really annoyed by games who have an instant game over condition that can be done by the first player and the games ends with the first player. It guarantees that everyone else gets one less turn in the game.

Please can you tell me the name of the game @
@SAUPAYANMAZUMDAR
disagree with variable ending/player triggered ending. Love TFM and that has variable number of generations. That's what makes the game so replayable. Based on your cards you either want to extend the game, or end it quickly before opponents have had a chance to get their big engines roaring.
@darbyl3872
Too much randomness bothers me, but no randomness gets stale quickly, after a game or two, if better players keep winning. Chess is only fun if players are evenly matched, IMO.
