Re Catan and Carcassone, my opinion is flipped. Yeah, a new Catan player can screw themselves early, but that’s where having a good group comes in. The first game (or few games) should be helping the newbie understand the rules and strategies. More fun for everyone that way.

It’s also entirely possible that I’m not a good enough player to really get what’s going on - it’s one of those games that I’ll play if that’s what everyone else wants to do, but never one that I’d suggest.
