Concordia - Classic euro, brilliant scoring mechanics, works great at all player counts


Radlands - Gorgeous 2 player duel, fast playing, can be over quick but it doesn't matter as you just go again as setup is less than a minute.

The Quest for El Dorado - Nice little deck builder. Simple but fun race across the map. One of Elliots favourites.

Paris La Cité de la Lumière - One of my favourite 2 players. Interesting score conditions and different actions available from game to game as they are randomly selected. Get the Paris expansion. Its ridiculously cheap and adds loads more actions.

My city - Absolutely phenomenal. My favourite legacy game after Clank! Legacy. Totally different games obvs. Tons of surprises and the game you're left with on completion is great.

Ceasar! - On my wishlist!

Santorini - Not played for a while but it got a ton of play a few years back. Basically 3d noughts and crosses, kind of. I wasn't keen on all the powers you can add, the base game was good enough. Off the chart table presence. Worth it to show off never mind play. Cheap now too.


Bruxelles 1893 - Also on my wish list!

Klask - Gets played all the time. We have a leader board on the fridge. Absolutely amazing thing to own. Better than air hockey.

Lords of Vegas - One of my favourites. Should replace Monopoly in homes. Easier to teach and a million times better. Great family game. DOES NOT WORK WITH 2. 3 isn't bad, 4 is best.

Spartacus - Fun silly game, lots of back stabbing. Needs full player count. The combat is very neat as your warriors lose attribute dice as they get wounded, thus getting slower or weaker. Not something I'd want to play all thr time but great fun with mates and beers getting rowdy.

Unmatched - Not massively keen. Kept it because Elliot likes it but it's a bit meh and simple imo. Games can drag on.

Zombie teens evolution - For kids, brilliant. Enjoyed playing through with Elliot. WAAAAY too simple otherwise. It's very well done though.

Spirit Island - Only played once, a mates copy. Enjoyed it though and am keen to play more. Couldn't make a definitive judgement yet though.

Everdell - Phenomenal worker placement, engine builder ish. You start doing barely anything on turn one and by the end you're chaining moves and doing allsorts. Gorgeous artwork. Not tried any expansions, honestly don't think it needs any.

Roam - On my wishlist!

So had cash on pay day, and Fridays have become try board games with some guy night before Bball.

Everdell grabbed, because it was in the shop and on my list.

4 games down now. Absolutely delightful all round. Just the right length. Just the right complexity. Looks delightful.

And as you say frantic: Doesn't feel like it needs an expansion. The deck is so large and the 7-8 event cards can change things so much that I reckon it stands on its own.

2 Player game of Kanban (original version not the super deluxe reprint) with my wife yesterday.
Forgot how much I love this game, so many things you have to keep in mind.

Highly recommend any of Lacerda's offerings if you like the heavy Euro style game. Be warned though, they're not for the faint of heart!
