Just played my second game of Viscounts of the West Kingdom, I really love the decision space and the deckbuilding nature compared to the other Garphill games. But I am terrible at it, just means we need to play more! Next week is Terraforming Mars, and I have a biweekly Frosthaven group on Mondays. And I think my Crimson Scales group will finally get back together tomorrow after several weeks of a break. We love campaign games!
Had a getaway with my wife so games played ate a bit lower complexity and more social than normal.
Fog Of Love first play was only okay. The game was fun, but the built in tutorial was... extensive. I'll need to play without it to form a better opinion.
Fort was fun when played both times. I really love the "use it or lose it" mechanism in the game with cards played. It's really well executed in the game.
Steam Up was on my wife's must play list because of the beautiful pieces (a buddy has the deluxe version we played). The game is simple (in a good way), and gorgeous.
Anno 1800 is an almost weekly staple. The tech building paths in it work really synergistically whe everyone knows the game well. I love this game, and it plays quick (~90 minutes) at our FLGS because it's in high circulation right now.
Kings Dilemma was finished up (finally). The legacy metric is really fun on this, but it's more an "argue around a table with your friends" than a real board game. I loved this one too and can't wait for Queen's Dilemma once the it ships from the Kickstarter.
Edit: previously called Steam Up dim sum...
My boyfriend and I finally started Frosthaven after spending 8 months on Gloomhaven. Our goal is to finish it before Gloomhaven V2 come out.
I gotta say, we won't be getting another legacy game for a while.
It's October, and with Halloween coming up my kids and I are playing Horrified a bunch.
My family has been playing Heat: Pedal to the Metal mostly. Gradually adding in the modules so the base mechanics can really set in: we’re up to the Legends and Basic Garage modules now and having a great time.
I wish this game was more widely available, it seems fun but it's impossible to find at non-scalper prices.
