I love "The Great Chili Cookoff". It's set collecting as you try to get the ingredients for either of your recipe cards. The fun part is the mechanic of how you select your ingredients. Some gamers don't like it because all the cards aren't dealt out. Therefore your one-of-a-kind ingredient might have been left in the box for that hand. That's part of the fun. (I do prefer playing with more people which puts more cards in play.) It isn't about making a complete recipe but about getting as many ingredients as possible and then scoring them. It's a quality game!
Most of my gaming is 2 player. Roma is a favorite among me and my gaming friend. Dynasties looks like it is a great choice to hit that same itch and give us some more options. The other two will surprise me if I enjoy them but tacking them on for a little bit more money increases the fun of this package when it arrives.

Dynasties is a great game. I'd get the bundle if I didn't already have it.
