I recently discovered terra mystica.

Incredibly fun.

And I'm incredibly bad at it, because there's a LOT of stuff going on, and it's all relevant, and it's all actually fairly intuitive what everything is but what you need to do isn't (In both games so far, someone has come last with basically the biggest empire, because prosperity doesn't give you any points). The factions in it are reasonably balanced - even though it's impossible to have an asymmetric game with equal chances of victory for everyone, which faction has the advantage is different each game (and choosing your faction is thus fairly important).

There's a slight paradox in that the only conflict is over available resources (including land) yet you nearly always actually want to be near to each other because there are advantages to doing so.

I've played it like twice and got like 120 the second time with like 3 cult points. The one experienced guy got like 140 and also got kindof screwed over a couple times by chaotic moves from the rest of us.

First time was like 90-100ish I think, with one guy about 110-120ish I think.

Terra Mystica randomness isn't just pick order for races, but it basically all happens before any player decision is made.
