Legacy games are still cool!! Rise of Queensdale by Ravensburger North America This is an excellent “legacy” euro from Inka and Markus Brand of Village fame. So many cool elements are unlocking with each game. Worker placement galore and each session at 2P is 45 mins!
That excitement when the FedEx driver pulls up and drops off a large box that you didn’t expect!! 2.5 years in the making from KS but Titan by Holy Grail Games is finally here!! What a beautiful beast! Can’t wait to check out that sweet 3d board 😀🤘
First game for Fathers Game Day is the classic Kingsburg by FantasyFlightGames with the deluxe dice and markers. Such a classic dice worker placement game!
2nd game of Fathers Game Day is the collectors edition of the super zen classic Tokaido by Antoine Bauza and Ole Thomas with the beautiful painted miniatures and the Crossroads and Matsumi expansions. We’re going for the epic variant where you travel across the board and come back!
Solitaire fun today with new-to-me Orchard from Dustin Culbertson! Plays in 10 mins and is a quick, fun brain teaser in a high quality slide box for easy storage and travel. Score points for matching fruit. Perfect little vacation game for your morning coffee.
Setting up our newest Kickstarter The Spill by Smirk & Dagger / Smirk & Laughter!! This gives me vibes of Pandemic on the ocean but mechanics with the dice and cool drilling well dice tower take up the table presence a notch. My kids are happy the animals don’t die - just go to “sick bay”🐢🐬🐙
2P Murano by Markus Brand! I love the action selection mechanic in this game. Action spaces are blocked by other boats but you can pay to move them. Such a unique, fun euro that flew under the radar. The goal cards and the building placement create great strategies. AMAZING!
Just got Exit the Game Advent Calendar - Mystery of the Ice Cave by Kosmos Games UK !! New riddles or clues everyday for 24 days!! Such a cool idea - can’t wait for December 1st to start 😃
2P 1923 Cotton Club by Looping Games !! I was waiting forever for this to come back into print. Finally played and we absolutely loved it! Great combo of 1920’s theme with worker placement and tableau building. Lots of game in a small box. Recommended!
Beer & Bread by Scott Almes and Capstone Games @DeepPrintGames with my wife. Wow!! What a super efficient elegant farming euro with lots of interesting multi-use cards. Round 2 my wife said “I love this game” 😍. Small box - big game! BUY THIS GAME PEOPLE!! 🍻🍞!!
Played Mille Fiori by Reiner Knizia and Devir Games - what a blast! It’s a point-fest extravaganza with mini games across the board. Lots of combo-tastic actions and fun decisions. Great push and pull of point swing that makes it a nail biter to the end. 40 mins at 2P. Get it!
Got in a 2P game is Moesteiro by PYTHAGORAS - really great mid-weight dice worker placement euro dice and building a monastery in Portugal! Lower pip takes action first but higher pip is more powerful - cool mechanic! Fun, clever decisions - recommend it!
Amadeus!! Wow - Lacrimosa by Devir Games is AMAZEBALLS GOOD!! This is such a smooth thinky euro with fresh mechanics and gripping decisions. I have played 2x at 2 and both games were 2 points apart - so fun! Contender for fave game of the year here!🎶🎼🎵
Finally got Darwin’s Journey by Thundergryph Games to the table at 2P. This is a heavy worker placement game with tons of decisions and got my AP going.! Very satisfying combos and deep strategy paths. Components of the deluxe version are excellent! Overall a 9/10 for us!
