   • I wasn;t trying to repost, Rasma. I was just testing the edit feature, and didn’t realise it would result in a republication. Actually there are lots of posts I would like to edit (e.g. adding links to later quizzes in a series) but I will not do it now that I know what will happen. This is wide open to abuse :/

2. I knew none, but guessed seven correctly! Great quiz. 🙂

   • You did better than last time then (see your comment from 2 months ago down below!). This is the post I edited as a test. What I didn’t realise was that it would be republished as if for the first time, and rise to the top of the list again :/

     • lol, ya know, you did that to one of mine not too long ago. So, that was the same quiz. I did do better, I remember the last time I was shocked at how cool of games others have when we have boring ones.

3. I don’t know the first thing about these games and got them nearly all wrong 🙁

4. Fun quiz. I do not know, much about the games and I only got the ones right that the names were given, but it was a lot of fun thank-you.

5. I’ve never seen any of these games, nor heard of then. This was a guessing game for me. Managed to get 5 correct.

   • Well that’s a pretty good result, then, Lena! I’m thinking many of these Euro-style games are largely unknown outside the continent.

6. I will be honest here, I have never seen any of these board games in New Zealand

   • They do seem to be true to the name of the genre – Euro-style 🙂

7. I knew none of these Norman and I love board games.

   • I know about half of them myself, but it’s a genre that appeals to me. Incidentally FYI I was testing out the new editing function on this eight-week-old post and discovered that a side-effect is that, in “republishing” the post, it sends it to the top of visibility again. That’s the kind of side effect that is wide open for abuse. Fingers crossed.

     • don’t get me started on the potential abuses of the system.

       • Fair enough! I’m trying to concentrate on the many positive changes right now 🙂

      • OMG So when a post is edited it is treated as a new post.!!!

        • Indeed. Wide open for abuse 🙁

        • Then hopefully you will make some quizzes on the subject! I’m not any kind of cinema expert but I enjoy a good film 🙂

15. All guesses and I managed to get 4. Interesting quiz. I have never heard of those board games.

16. I was just guessing and got 5 but this was a very interesting quiz and all those games look fascinating

17. 4 out of 12., All guesses. I love board games but knew nothing about European board games until now.

    • They are quite different from “American” games, and certainly worth trying if you get the chance!

19. I have never seen any of these. So I guessed, and got two correct. lol. Dang it Norma, you really got me with this one.
    But really, this was an awesome idea for a quiz. Way cool to see. Now one for this side of the pond?

    • I guess I’ll have to get my karma rebalanced by making a quiz on “international” board games! It seems these games are less known outside Europe than I realised 😮

      1

      • You should yes! Maybe I will recognize some of them. We are still stuck on monopoly. lol. My son plays D & D… way too long of a game for me.

    • Well, I’m surprised you don’t know any of them, what with the UK being (sort of) in Europe 🙂

      • I’m not a great fan of board games, wherever they originate!
