Thread: What's the most balanced game?

Age of Empires??? I play 2 and imho the Teutons and the Britons are the strongest. Not balanced at all since a fully powered up British Longbowman could probably outshoot a freakin Trebuchet or at least come damn close.

Oh, I just remembered a great site that includes many interesting thoughts on game balance.

Check it out.

>_> that can easily be countered

again the first player wins if the second is stupid

Take the Middle if you can, then take the corners, never and I mean never take the dead Cross +

Yeah, but the point is, if you can make that move then you will win. However, it always relies upon the second player not taking a corner box in his first move.

and If you know that, then there is no way to lose... at the age of 4, I understud that game was Bull shit, so I started to play Checkers instead, then falled into Monopoly and Chess

I played other game when I was little, don't remenber the name tough

you had 4 stones and you had to form a line with 3 of them, but you could only move the stones to the remaining free space... there where 2 more rules, but I kinda forgot about it
