Battle Lines vs Lost Cities

I was surprised that it was so, it was such a massively divisive issue honestly, because I think they're both fantastic games. There's like something so clean and crisp about lost cities where you're playing essentially the mechanic of battle lines. The difference for me is if this is a game that I'm going to be playing 50 times with someone, I would definitely go for battle lines. That's my take on it. If you could do some equivalent version of that in lost cities which maybe that would kind of bring it up to the same level.
