The orgy song (with the polynesian motif) is the worst. Mary Lane is the best. Ditto on Power Grid -- we'll have to play again soon. Re: The bidding mechanic: Yeah, it's clumsy; I don't like having to remember sets of ever-changing two-digit numbers. But it does keep things extremely fair. Especially in a game like Weinhandler where the currency is just another facet of the medium you're trying to acquire. Re: Truth song: Yeah, I’d say it’s probably only the second worst now.

I still can't believe you pinpointed that as the weakest song. It's catchy. I'm with you on Gheos. I like playing it, but just like Tongiaki, I don't really think I'm very good at it. Or that it would be really possible to get good at it without playing twice a day for a month or so. Power Grid seems like good fun though - but again, it seems like it would take a number of playings to figure out exactly what needs to be done to make yourself better at it consistently. Weinhandler and Power Grid are really the first games I've ever played where you have to bid on something - and it seems like kind of a weird way to go about things - especially in Weinhandler where you ability to match your opponent's bid is randomized.
