While the flu cut a swath through the attendance tonight we had a rare visit from Nick, so a party of three. Fortuitously, Nick brought along a boardgame "Maria" with the unusual feature of being a game for three. The "Maria" is Maria Therese & it is a strategic game set in the War of Austrian Succession (right before the 7 years war).
The game is from Germany with the rules & playing pieces all bi-lingual - being in both German & English. Nether Mike or I liked the use of cards rather than dice & there was too much gaming technique involved for our tastes, but it wasn't hard to learn to play & strategy did matter too. It certainly presented interesting conundrums to the players, so a good rare option for 3 players.
