I never did like El Grande. At first I thought it was because I got the German version and my group had a hard time with it. It didn't get much better with the first Rio Grande "smaller" translated cards because I had a hard time reading it across the table.
Finally I realized that I don't like El Grande because it is around 25% kingmaking (by this I mean that 25% of the time you need to pick an opponent to hurt). I probably despise kingmaking games because some groups I have played with before always picked me as the opponent.
I used to love Settlers and still am happy to play it if people play fast (30-45 min per game).
