Codenames continues to be highly popular at our Office Game Cafe, and Codenames Pictures just hit 40 check outs! I can't remember a week where all four of our copies (original, Pictures, Duel, and the Singapore version) were all on the shelf at the same time. Czech Games Edition
We have the first four games in the Azul series by PlanBGames (Next Move Games) and the original just hit 30 check outs at our cafe! Typically our users try the original, then make their way through the series.
One of my favorites in the Unlock! series by Space Cowboys is Game Adventures, which uses the themes and some aspects of the mechanics of Ticket to Ride, Mysterium, and Pandemic to deliver the challenge. This just hit 10 check outs at our Office Game Cafe!
Aquatica by 🐲Arcane Wonders🏛️ and a favorite of thedicetower crew has hit 10 check outs in our Office Game Cafe! This is an absolute combo-tastic game which players almost always want to continue to play once they get their first taste!
Citadels by @ffgames and Bruno Faidutti has hit the 20 checkout milestone at our Office Game Cafe! This one has been a hit for a long time now, and it still has consistent fans that return to it time and time again!
The Crew by Thames & Kosmos recently hit 25 check outs at our Office Game Cafe! We have both the original Quest for Planet Nine and the follow up Mission Deep Sea in our collection. Both are equally popular. Which one do you like?
One of my top 5 games of all time, Return to Dark Tower by Restoration Games hit 10 check-outs at our Office Game Cafe! Our cafe tends to cater more towards quick and easy games, so a game like this glorious beast hitting 10 is a great accomplishment!
Although we don't have the original Caverna in our collection, we do have Caverna: Cave vs Cave, the two player version by Thames & Kosmos. This just hit 15 check outs at our cafe, a fun two player Euro!
A big part of what games get selected for play out of our collection of 400 is the recommendations of our Game Gurus. Between Two Cities by Stonemaier Games is certainly a favorite selection of ours for team building activities, and that's helped drive this title to 20 check outs
PARKS by Keymaster Games was recently donated to our Office Game Cafe collection, and it already reached 5 check-outs! I'm hearing a lot from our members that they really enjoy the pace and especially the production quality! Congrats!
The card game classic Uno by MattelGames is always a hit in our Office Game Cafe. It's important to have the classics! Uno just hit 30 check outs at our cafe! Congrats!
Collectively, our four sets of Codenames by Czech Games Edition (original, Pictures, Duet, and Singapore editions) have almost reached 150 check-outs, the original alone is responsible for more than half of those, at an astounding 80 check outs!
I just backed OVERPARKED - a puzzle strategy game by ORIGAME on Kickstarter and I'm also supporting my friends at Origame in the comments section. Come check out the campaign! kickstarter.com/projects/origa…
I still feel the original Horrified by Ravensburger North America is the best of the series. This great entry level co-op game recently hit 5 check-outs at our Office Game Cafe. It deserves a lot more plays!
One of the more popular small card games in our Office Game Cafe collection is Saboteur by AMIGO Spiele. This game is readily available in Singapore, so many people can easily pull it from the shelf and start playing right away. This hit 35 check outs at our cafe!
I don't think it's much of a surprise to see Exploding Kittens by Exploding Kittens hit another milestone, this time crossing the 60 check-outs threshold. This game is always popular with our members, and having two copies helps it climb quickly.
