Trying to put together another auction.  Should I keep Senji or auction it off?
What about Ave Caesar?
Nomads
Liberte
Greed

Senji is pretty terrible. Good ideas ruined by a ton of nonthematic set collection. For the same setting, but not a war/fighting game, play Ninjato. For a great "wargame" by one of the same codesigners as Senji, play Cyclades.

Agree on Senji. You would think that a game that let you trade and kill hostages would be pretty badass, but it consistently failed to please. It's like Risk (limited to a pretty small military) mixed with Gin Rummy. Shame, really.

Liberte is great. If you mean Greed, Inc. by Splotter, I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet, but after spending a lot of time reading about it and preparing for it, I have to say that it sounds like typical Splotter awesomeness.

Sell Senji. Liberte you should at least keep until the Valley Games clearance sale is a distant memory.

Greed Inc didn't work for my group, whereas all other splotter games were winners, minus a duck or two for a thematic nightmare on trying to get someone to play.
Senji was fun, but purely euro, not a war game. The set collection bit was about all I got into with it, some bluff, some war, but overall forgettable. A friend of mine has it, and it has not hit the table but once, no matter how many times he has brought it to a game night,
