I find myself always purchasing games that have similar game mechanics. I prefer worker-placement games, and railroad tycoon type games. All of these games borrow from each other in terms of how the game plays. I find this type of game suits my strategic style of play.

I now want to introduce something new to my gaming group, and want to know what type of game mechanics I am really missing out on, and why they add to the overall experience of the game.

What I want to know is what other type of game mechanics make a game more interesting to play, increase the strategic element and really make the game what it is. The type of thing I am after is similar comments to a conversation at my last gaming meeting, which was


  I much prefer Age of Steam to Railroad Tycoon, because of the way the resources are replenished. Where as Railroad Tycoon can dry up a city's resource quite quickly.



Question: Find router on network
Answer: You likely have the router plugged in to the main router via the WAN Port as shown here:



The router is expecting another network device to be transmitting data through that port such as a modem, rather than a computer to be requesting it's administration page from that interface. One of the IPs you see in your main router's administration page is probably assigned to the router, and you'll be able to ping it, but it simply isn't configured to respond with the admin interface from that port. You need to have a device connected to a LAN port or connected via wireless to bring up that interface. Some routers I've worked with may allow configuration via the WAN port, but most do not.
