I don't have any new games to show them, so we're going back to the old ones they liked. :)
Today, Kiet had to choose between 7Wonders and Chinatown, since it was his birthday.
He chose Chinatown, knowing that Nguyen would have refused to play any other game.
Chinatown isn't really a complicated game: you draw city plots, then shops. You bargain for whatever you want. Then you build the shops in the plots to make money.
Xoai sells everything right from the start of the game, his tactic being to build nothing but sell everything to the highest bidder. I didn't have the heart to buy his valuable land for $10,000 (the smallest bill), I tried to explain to him that his land would increase in value. But it was no use, Kiet and Nguyen made the most of it. :) Kiet won, closely followed by Nguyen, the two most "tenacious" in negotiations.
