Yipp . The man with the Cuprinol tan has his own show on ITV where people wheel on something they think is worth hundreds to show off to their experts , only to turn down their offer and it sell for about 50 p at auction . <| sep |> Would you recommend that mod for gameplay users ? <| sep |> In my experience , I think TtR ' s best purpose is to introduce gaming to people . And in that regard , I believe the best version is the base with 1910 . It has the least amount of rules and the most familiar map at least to Americans . People will say how there ' s some imbalance to the map or whatever , but if you are playing with new players , that really doesn ' t matter . What matters is having a fun experience with a game that is easy to learn and nice to look at . I also have high opinions of Nordic Countries . This is a very challenging map and is the hardest of the series . It only plays from 23 , but it is very exciting and tense . This is great for people who are used to the TtR series and want to test their skills . So that ' s my pick for the two I enjoyed the most . Original TtR is there for grabbing new players into the hobby and showing them a good time . Nordic is my preferred way to play because it ' s probably the most skillintensive and competitive . With that said , my goto game for new players is still Splendor . And as far as playing with other gamers go , it depends on the people .
