Day One Kniziathon underway! Started super light this morning with Little Italy!
Drake win with 15 bucks, I had 6 dollars, Megan had 13 dollars and Logan had 4 dollars!
Light and tight a fun game! I liked it! No need to repeat what Sag has said in his excellent article here:

The thing about most Knizia games is that you can get them to the table and actually played! if I don't have my usual game group I find I got at a maximum TWO minutes to explain the rules or my players lose interest and will give me that "This is too complicated look" Know what I mean? We have all seen that from non gamers.

I saw you had Spectaculum in your pile, let us know how that one is...supposedly it's kind of a stock market game, which I traditionally like.

To enjoy Circus Maximus I need about 8 players that really understand the rather dense rules to really enjoy this game.
I can't do that!
I can't get 8 people to commit to this game so it sits on my shelf. The only place I could play this would be at the WBC
and this would cost me $1000+ travel costs, hotel, just to play this game?
However, I can play another race game Royal Turf with anybody, as I could with a game like Lord of the Rings Confrontation or Little Italy
I could play these games with a heavy gamer like Barnes or a non gamer, thus getting a lot of play from a game that doesn't become a shelf toad.
These X factor games (and Knizia has a lot of them) are what I look for!

I have Circus Imperium and I think it's great, but it's going on the sell pile for the same reason. I really like Winner's Circle (which I think is the same thing as Royal Turf), and for something just a little more ridiculous we play Long Shot.
