Best Game that is Too Long for us to EVER Teach in the Cafe but that You Should Totally Play because it is Super-Rad

At the café, we pride ourselves on our ability to teach a variety of games to a variety of people in a timely fashion. However, there are a number of titles that we simply cannot teach. This is not due to an impenetrability of gameplay or an inscrutability of rules; it is merely the realization that our busy gurus are unable to sit down and spend the time necessary (30 mins +) demystifying the minutia of our more complex titles. That being said, some of those dense and complex games have been masterfully designed and are worth the time and effort necessary to learn them. Our nominees all have steep learning curves, but we have discovered that their fans are legion.

And the nominees are:

Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy 

A Game of Thrones (2nd Ed.)

Mage Knight

Twilight Imperium (3rd Ed.)

Twilight Struggle

The winner is: A GAME OF THRONES (2nd Ed.)!
