It’s been a long day, setting up Nemo’s War or Mage Knight feels like way too much hassle. What do you reach for?

Some of my picks:

  • For Northwood was a really pleasant surprise. I love tricktaking and it’s amazing how well this game make that work for solo. The hand-evaluation part before each “conversation” is a really cool mechanic too.
  • Orchard is so easy to get on the table. And you get two plays for a single shuffle. I like the laser-focus on the single goal, great when my mind is not up for something more complicated
  • After the Virus is a cool little solo deckbuilder. Only getting started with this one but really enjoying it so far
  • Buttonshy stuff is always good. Rove, Ragemore, Food Chain Island, Skulls of Sedlec, Spaceshipped are some of my favorites. Oh and Sprawlopolis of course.

    Birdscaping looks neat! Almost like a mini-Wingspan. I like the “pay by discarding” mechanic a lot. Will have to find a way to make a good quality print of this. Kinda wish they did a commercial release with nice linen card stock, would look great with this art.

      @donio Yeah, I’m lucky I work in print and was able to scrounge a print run… I agree shame there isn’t a commercial version! It’s a beautifully designed game!
