    You are saying Vegas correct. Normally you guys pronounce "V" as we would pronounce a "W" so I can understand how it feels weird. I would expect you to say it like "Wegas" but that is not actually how it's said. Its like "Vay-gis"

    The pronunciation of Las Vegas in Norwegian is close to that in English. Because it's a Spanish name, meaning "The Meadows". Which makes them probably the hottest meadows in the world around the time you will be there. (As I write this, it's 42°C in Las Vegas. It gets hotter later in the summer.) Have fun on your roadtrip. 2 weeks from LA to Indy is enough to see many things, but I'd recommend not trying to see all the things. There are a lot of things. 8-)

      @@BoardGamingRamblings When my Norwegian relatives used to come to northern Minnesota to visit, they would go out and lay in the sun if even the smallest sliver of the sun was visible. That shouldn't be a problem for you. 8-) If you're going to visit several of the National Parks and Monuments in the western US, I'd recommend getting the annual parks pass. It will pay its cost back in ~3 parks.

    I'm so jealous! Not that you're going to Gen Con, but because everyone at Gen Con has a chance to meet you. 😁 Your pronunciation of Las Vegas is pretty close: it's Spanish but anglicized, so the last vowel is dropped. Approximately "Lahs VAY-guss" or "VAY-giss." Either way, no one will have any trouble understanding you, they'll just know you're from out of town. Speaking of which, the state of Nevada is "Ne-VAD-ah", not "Ne-VAH-dah".

    I really dislike Agricola. I can never do the action I want to do, and I never have the resources I need to do the other actions. I have only played it 3 times at three player but I never want to play it again. Feast is my #1 and Caverna is my #2. I really want to try Le Havre but no one in my game group has it and it is a bit too much for me to buy without trying it first. I don't really care for his tile laying games (with Feast being the exception) but I don't really care for most tile laying games.

    Sunniva - For Le Havre, have you seen the players aids on BGG? My friend made them many years ago (username Dannecus) and I can't play Le Havre without them now. A nice place to store your resources and it shows you everything that is happening throughout the game. Maybe it will persuade Johannes that Le Havre is #1. (Although I probably would put A Feast for Odin as my #1!)

A few weeks later i borrowed the game to give it another chance, because so many people like it. Well, it´s not my game. I do like workerplacement games but i don´t like Agricola.
