¿Question #4461?
mrbeankc: What recent game when you played it for the first time surprised you the most with how much you enjoyed it?

Woelf: Plankton Rising
ocdspectrum: On Mars. Was nervous about it at first but really enjoyed it.
Onheiron: Love Letter
Myoman: Libertalia
ricardofo: Saipan. Very much
weed131: Battle Line
Jatoha: ummmmmmmmmmm, you see this is tough, I only play games that I buy and I only buy games that I think I'll enjoy, so I'm rarely surprised by a game, unless I'm surprised at how much I dislike it.
burntoutmouse: Battlestar Galatica
docandy31: Order of the Stick-so many over the table jokes
trevlix: For Sale
Hendal: ZiMP
gonzoron: Antike
fenwic: "Incan Gold". And "Hey! That's MY Fish!" Both rather silly shallow games. Both induced a lot of screaming, groaning, and hilarity. Not new games, but new to me.
ZeroZilla: Shogun. I expected to enjoy it a lot. I didn't expect it to be in my top 5 for all time. (#2 currently, but I never expect it to fall below 5)
Gamegrunt: Gloria Mundi
TheKeck: Santiago.
Neil Thomson: Nexus Ops
Swinginace: Puerto Rico
DHEK: Vegas Showdown. Okay, maybe that wasn't that recent (a few months back), but that game really surprised me and I ended up buying it.
jeffwolfe: Gnostica. I haven't played it since, so maybe it's a fluke. I also like Railroad Tycoon, which is another recently played game.
eddyspaghetti: I loved cash and guns.
Brentoon: tough to say
