All I see there is a thousand minis, 12 charts/tracks, and point salad.

haha.. no, the game with a thousand minis is THIS one!!

That's why I love Great Western Trail so much. The actions are easy. Take a bandit, discard a pair, move your train, hire a worker, deliver cows, etc - none of them are difficult to explain at all. But combining them into a victorious amount of VPs, well, it's difficult to do, and there are a ton of ways to do it. Probably doesn't fit the 15 min. explanation though.

That’s why I love abstract games. In a period for the last few years where heavier and heavier games have become the norm for my group, games like Uwe’s Nova Luna have still stayed close at hand.

I love how teachable light abstract games can be but when well done they can have a massive decision space and a lot of initial opacity that make them incredibly replayable and incredibly strategic

Any CIVILIZATIONS fans here? We are taking this out for a playthru tomorrow... GMT's take on the CIV theme. This is meant to be on the lighter side of games (not as heavy as Clash of Cultures etc).

This is the latest big buzz in the Kickstarter space... ANDROMEDA'S EDGE

https://gamefound.com/projects/cardboard-alchemy/andromedas-edge

The other half played this at GenCon last year. He really enjoyed it and thought it was prett good. It has a lot of buzz because it’s the spiritual successor to Dwellings of Everdale (something like that).

At GenCon played designers other new game Emprie’s End and that was a ton of fun deciding when you had the let your section die versus saving it. I chose poorly compared to everyone else.

Lords of Vegas is seeing another Kickstarter and this is one of the first games I used my own poker chips with (Darn that paper money!)

Played Everdell last night, 63 point win

My daughter with the EVERDELL COMPLETE Edition! Look at the size of that box!!

 

[billkell]

Wow, how did it take me so long to find this discussion?!

Here are my newest acquisitions.

Both in shrink (because thats life these days)

With all the noises from the OSCARS, if you want to try your hands at making movies.. this is one board game to check out! The art is illustrated by the designer himself (Keen Bean Studio) and has a distinctive look.

Any SPLOTTER fans here? Their recent HORSELESS CARRIAGE is now in Malaysia!

 

[NotDunric]

Food Chain Magnate is among my favorite games ever. I own three others (Antiquity, Indonesia. Great Zimbabwe) but have yet to play any of them lol
Looking forward to checking out Horseless Carriage though!

 

[jack208]

Food Chain Magnate is their most successful game... into the 10th print run!

I still remember fondly their launch back in 2015 as that was the first year my little gal followed us to Essen, and she got to take a nice pic with Jeroen.

Yep, acutely familiar; I work for their exclusive hobby store distributor in the US.
Excited that it's making another return (as well as its Ketchup expansion!)

 

[jack208]

Yesterday brought back an old fave to the table. Taught this to my daughter and it's good to reconnect with such classics!

 

[jack208]

in case you've not heard, Klaus Teuber the designer of the CATAN series has passed away (1-Apr). RIP to an industry icon.

The Catan studio team urged those mourning Teuber to 'honor Klaus' memory by being kind to one another, pursuing your creative passions fearlessly, and enjoying a game with your loved ones.'

Here's our tribute to all the games Teuber has brought to our tables (not the complete list, but almost!) Thank you Klaus for bringing so much joy into our life and may you rest in peace.

I did not hear about Klaus.

I may need to dig out the autographed editions of games we got from him in the late 90's - early 2000's.

Keeping the flames of CATAN alive by teaching (and playing) it with the next-gen! Seen here's the 15th Anniversary Wooden Collector's Edition.

Anyone here want to sell me Secret Hitler? Would rather buy used but am fine picking it up from the store as well. Let me know, fun game.

excellent game. been a while though, ive played many times online but sadly never played the physical version

 

[Poker Zombie]

I've found the game plays waaaaayy better with the right people. You need the energetic, arm-flailing, passionate "fascist" accusations. I cannot see how that would translate online.

 

[Legend5555]

Never got my shipping notice, but glad it's here! Not sure when the hell I'm going to play it. Ordered it when I was still playing games a bit more often.

 

[Legend5555]

Thankfully, I like heavy games because this is an intense amount of reading.

Oh... this is a highly anticipated game. Our stocks not here yet... likely by end of the month. Enjoy the game!!

Spoiler: the middle class always loses.

Never played the game, just a lot of real-life experience.

@NotRealNameNoSir Sorry, i had two extra from the original kickstarter, but must have given both away. Looks like it's still readily available though. Good game.

I must be an outlier.

We hosted a full day 10am to 10pm JAPAN GAME DAY yesterday, curating a batch of all Japanese designed games from the Tokyo Games Market fair! Tiring but a blast as we played thru this batch of games!

 

[jack208]

We finally got FROSTPUNK: THE BOARD GAME to the table. The GENERATOR is a big table presence, and the game plays true to its video game - bleak and brutally hard.

Wife and I recently discovered "Here to Slay". Kind of a card game version of DND and it's awesome! Expansions are out as well!
