charming and clever, shame there's not a 2p if you buy 2 copies option!

too abstract for me

an all time great, but daybreak is just so much faster playing so it'll hit the table more for us

light and fast and fun, but less than ideal with 2p. you want more players with more special powers and trading opportunities to mix things up (solo looks pretty sharp)

fun but needs more difficulty level options

most disappointing game i've played in years, maybe ever. almost every new twist added to the game was poorly considered, especially for 2p, plus the game got way too long

lot to love here, but would prefer more deterministic attack resolution. also, i HATE HATE HATE using division instead of subtraction for resolving shields.

love it, but now that cascadia has the landmark expansion, that pushed it competition to the top!

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

the passive aggression was a bit more than i cared for

might be a great game, but graphical design flaws drag it down

wards of london expansion sadly made the game even less carebear friendly

super sharp design, and i hope it gets picked up by a publisher someday to get a graphical overhaul

the 2p scaling made it too cutthroat

sadly this one doesn't have a repeatable mission like #3 of the original andor

awesome gameplay, but zombies are too gross for my wife

back in the day we were okay with the passive aggressive stuff like neutral workers and such, but as we've become more carebear this stuff just doesn't work with us as well

getting 9 meeples every round was too AP inducing for us

great except that they didn't scale down the game length for 2

preferred the box of the revised edition

this has every chance of being the best game of the year (when combined with its sister game: classics), but in the end it has enough stealing and smashing woven in (very lightly) to be not a keeper for us. probably the hardest decision i've made in years about whether to keep a game, it's so amazing

nice but misses that special spark at 2p

my wife found the extremely limiting storage puzzle to be too frustrating, which is too bad because there's a lot to like

beautiful production and solid gateway design, but a bit too light for us

love everythign about the core systems, but i wish there were some slightly more intricate and complex tile effects

clever system, but too analysis paralysis prone for us with some later turns giving so many action points to spend!

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

great on many levels, but we'd prefer building on our own board rather than shared one

maybe the heaviest garphill game to date, and there's a lot ot love, but HATE the influence "taxation" stuff

great streamlined version of maracaibo that plays in half the time, but i wish it didn't rely on dice to much

the best of the great western trail series for our tastes, but still would rather not have the "opponents' tax my progress with their buildings" thing, which keeps us going back to maracaibo instead

too cutthroat as a standalone game for us!

wish that the previous bids were kept public info so that memory didn't have to play such a big role. otherwise FANTASTIC!

much improved over its predecessor Kites, but too stressful for my wife

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

good fun, but not at its best with only 2. a bigger group is better

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

too cutthroat for our tastes

nice, but could use some alternate scoring conditions for the different terrains to spice things up a bit.

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

brilliant core card play system. wish it was in service of a bigger more robust overall game system though as this is a fairly light gateway card game

other than the box art, this is fantastic. but sending off to DTW library because we'd planned to play it with my father in law, and he passed away recently, so it's a sad reminder of that

nice design but needs tightening for 2.
update! they've come up with really solid 2p rules, but they can be a bit swingy. i would have done them slightly differently i think

brilliant game but can go on too long if 3rd winter card is at bottom of deck, and it's a bit overwhelming when your hand is full juggling all the icons looking for combos

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

love it but making room on shelf for the buro version which i think i'll love more

excellent engine builder, but i wish you could see more of the upcoming events to plan around them

fun limited communication co-op, but my wife hated the gangster theme, and i think i would have enjoyed co-op more with more players around the board

quite nice but unfortunately the chevron die result comes up way too much for our tastes

very sharp and simple gateway game. perfect for families, but too light for us

only got rid of it because of international move

really sharp, but would be better with more than 2

LOVE IT, but my wife found it too stressful

nice but too many baby steps for us

love the mini-rondell flow, but this has the same problem as terraforming mars where 2p have to do the work of 4p in a 2p game

like the tile laying puzzle, but there's a lot of vagaries in the rules that were a bit frustrating

not one i intended to part with, but the DTW convention specifically asked if i would, so i said "sure, for the greater good!"

this one makes me sad. sending it to the DTW library because they really needed to get a copy. but i don't want to lose it!

beautiful and light fun. kind of with the brilliant card harvesting system was tied to a more mid-weight game rather than a light deckbuilding race.

i think it's time to get off the time stories train for us. the loss of the groundhog day element in the end makes is hard for us to keep coming back

now that i've got sagrada legacy, i'm always looking to clear off shelf space!

the best of the new series of timestories, but i still miss the groundhog day elements

enjoyed the campaign a lot but was hugely disappointed by the lack of care put into the post-campaign gameplay

great legacy tile laying, but it's a shame that like my city, half of the game gets thrown away for no good reason once the campaign is over, and if anything it's implemented even worse than my city did

love the tile laying puzzle, but less a fan of the cutthroat 2p draft

gorgeous art and a lot of fun as a solo game. wish the multiplayer would have included a more meaningful way for players to interact

so silkly smooth and great variety in the card effects, but i think i would have liked it more without the board

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

on par with hadrian's wall, but i think we've kind of moving beyond thse "huge combo string" R&Ws now. also would have liked to see more setup variability

unlike most onirim games, this one's co-op doesn't live up to the solo

in the end i liked the harsher simulation of macao

liked the unique twitst on deckbuilding but it would be nice to get some more complex card effects

hated the 'take that' stuff, and the random swingyness didn't help (why isn't there an advanced variant where all characters are face up?)

the 2p variant works, but robs everything special about the game i fear

neat system for determining drafting order, but it's going to be much better with more than 2

neat and unique as always from peer sylvester. the 2p stripped some of the interaction between players to tighten up the board, and i think it would better with more than 2

love the quirky gameplay, but there are a few too many aggressive 'screw you' moves availalbe

great theme and gameplay, but the little bits of take that held it back for us

smart game, but in the end the subject matter is a bit of a turn off for us upon reflection

too simple for our tastes

too cutthroat, which is a shame

does a lot of things very well and is a great gateway, but i'd rather play regular pandemic still

i LOVE the solo mode, but my wife found it a bit too hard core

genuinely good co-op, and suprisingly challenging. but dont' like carc enough to keep, even with a cool new twist

so smooth, but too much dice rolling and a frew too many dick moves you can make for our tastes

thought about this long and hard. even though this is one of my fave games of all time from a gameplay POV, i can't enjoy it any more because of the subject matter.

wow surprisingly good auction game, but this form of auctioning is more exciting with more than 2 (plus we generally don't like blind bidding, which happens every once in awhile) so not for us

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

i liked this a lot (big punch for a small package) but my wife wasn't as keen on it so it goes to the dice tower west convention library!

i think this is where i get off the dominion train. some really cool ideas, but too much take-that woven in, and a lot of it is pushing the complexity farther than it needs to go

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

a great way to slowly introduce regular game geeks into the heavier world of vital lacerda, but i'm already there, so it's not something we need. but i can totally see the use case for it!

fun but one and done

would be great for gateway family yuletide fun, but too light for us

nice, too light for us. good gateway/family

a bit more sandboxey than the original but i think i prefer less sandboxey

great stuff, but could use an expansion to increase the complexity for our tastes

would be a nice gateway game, but lighter than we're looking for

the mechanisms are top10 of the year-worthy, but the thematic disconnected brings it down for me, but i suspect i'm alone in that reaction ("it's a euro... theme schmeme" i can hear folks say)

loved it, but my wife like star trek missions more (personally i think this is the best of the 3 fantasy realm options from wizkids)

like it, but i think it needs a an expansion to take it to the next level. plus would def prefer fewer "big turns" rather than the current "lots of little turns" approach

love it so much, but my wife dislikes the variable ending system, and i have to admit i'm not a fan of the slight screwage that comes from the influence markers

great but i'd prefer to play blackout hong kong

lovely and light weight filler from the designer of habitats. habitats is more our weight though

a nice abstract puzzler for those who like abstracts (which is generally not me)

cool, but could use some 2p scaling

cool but a bit too "mind-gamey" for our tastes

out of room, having to cull more games i like donating to dice tower west convention, maybe you'll see it there!

cool design elements as always but this seems to be the final nail in the coffin of the original game's attention to verisimilitude, so here's where i get off

wow this could be a top game of the year contender, but there's a bit more take-that woven in that we care for. if it weren't for that, this would be a total keeper

fun puzzle. only making room for more stuff on shelves (might want to reacquire when puzzle generating app comes out)

wonderful and very unique worker placement. only sent it on because a big fan of the poet could not get his hands on a copy and asked if he could have mine, and so i said yes

the dice drafting is fantastic, but the world traversal stuff is a bit less exciting

at this point, i think i'd rather play maracaibo (especially co-op) since it doesn't have the player direct screwage

love it, but love the loop more

loved it, but my wife loved star trek missions more

lovely, but cafe it a bit heavier so will stick with that

not a fan of making game longer to increase difficulty. otherwise excellent

i love it (maybe goty) but my wife really struggled with figuring out flight paths upside down and so that drug it down for her a bit

very cool but less than ideal at 2, plus theme is too dark for my wife

i think it's great but wife thought the combo chains got a little too carried away

light gateway, and what makes the game special requires a lot of commitment to repeated play to unlock cool stuff

nice abstract set collection, but i'm not that big a fan of abstracts

wish the special event deck would show up in the 2nd region instead of the 3rd, so it's more likley to have bigger impact

nice gateway and the dummy player isn't bad for 2p, but still would be better with 3p+

lovely, but at 2p the initial ramp up could be quicker

trick taking is not for us

surprisingly deep while staying rules light. maybe too AP inducing for us, but so sharp

really nice might have kept if i hadn't gotten guild of merchant explorers

nice gateway set collectiong game but too light for us

wow, this is one of the best solo modes for a super competitive game i've ever seen. almost kept it for that solo (and the 2p works great too). but multiplayer is still a little too cutthroat for us

wonderful components, clever gameplay if you're looking for a lightweight abstract but not exactly abstract game. not what we're looking for but great as a next step family game

a very clever solo puzzler card game, but the 2p was a bit too easy for us even when increasing difficulty levels and throwing in tougher cards and harder "no talk" mode

would be good for a yahtzee loving family looking for a next step. that's not us though

gobbles up too much shelf space plus my wife didn't like the theme of killing lots of people to defend the homeland, but that aside it's a VERY smart worker placement tower defence game. of the two modes, competitive is better, but co-op is pretty darn good too

really enjoyed, but keeping collection under control and i liked designers other big game (red cathedral) better

needs some 2p player scaling

liked this but 2p rules could hve been tweaked a bit

nice gateway co-op but too light for us

great to see a co-op train game, but the focus on true pick up and deliver still isn't our bag

great twist on dominion where the value of 'money' cards increases or decreases universally based on player actions. would keep if we weren't committed to dominion itself

fantastic engine builder, but the 2p needed a few tweaks to live up to the gameplay of the 4p

LOOOVE the tech tree of this game. Best of class! with that the area control was something added via an expansion, becuase the game didn't need imo, and it's a real turnoff for carebears like us

making room for the new edition coming soon!

a big improvement over the original carolus magnus, more thematic, more cool gameplay with special powers. but still a pretty cutthroat area control game, so still not for us. but wow, such a great job updating a classic

upgraded to the deep sea 2.0 crew

making room for the new edition coming soon!

one of the best co-ops ever, but the strongly integrated theme makes my wife too sad and simultaneously angry to enjoy.

nice mix of bingo+ganz schon clever, but too light and abstract

brilliant, but too long and too unforgiving for our tastes

co-op isn't bad, but wife isn't interested in theme

my fave of the azul's, but wasn't wife's fave

nice narrative adventure game for first time boardgamers, but it's toolight for us

surprisingly good, but my wife hates the theme

lovely and light and quick. would be a bit more fun at higher player counts for more choice and player turn order being more impactful

great design but too confrontational for our tastes

interesting as it's at once lighter AND more challenging than clank. i think it might be better than clank too, but i've got SOOO much clank stuff!

clever but too cutthroat for us

very impressive co-op comboing, but would love an expansion for some alternate upgrades

very cool, but maybe a bit too heavy for us, plus it's better with more than 2

very enjoyable, but we found it a bit too AP inducing for us

the true gateway version of 7 wonders, which works well but is too light for us

clever double layer tile laying, but the shared build space is a bit too cutthroat for us

charming and clever but needs more than 2 and very lightweight

lovely game, culled for shelf space as it's a little light/gateway-ish. sent to dice tower west convention library!

nice but not a fan of the 2p scaling

nice but better with more than 2

finished main storyline and then sent it off to join the dice tower west convention library for all to enjoy!

(might regret that when expansions start coming out!)

great abstract, but abstracts aren't really my thing!

the core conceit of an epic roll&wright that you can play over 3 separate sessions, leveling up all the way, is very cool, and the gameplay is nice, but not quite as combo-tastic as we're used to in R&Ws

happy to see the co-op mode added, but a little long in co-op. as always fantastic at solo, so much in such a little box. but these days there's only 1 solo game for me (MC)

short on shelf room, so donating to dice tower west library to make room for the upcoming mobile markets (mini-smartphone)

very cool, though much better at 3+ due to the way the drafting works. 2p works just fine, but playing makes me long for 3

hard to avoid the take-that options in the game, which is a shame, as otherwise just wonderful all the way around

dummy player can be a bit swingy for 2p, but otherwise excellent. at this point, with less shelf space, getting really picky!

good fun, but starts a bit slow

as our tastes have evolved, we're find less enjoyable the "tighten up the draft by having a player take a thing and destroy a thing" approach for 2p

nice ttr weight game, but thats lighter than we tend to play

very cool when combined with other century games, which means to get the best single game, need 3 games worth of shelfspace, which is a problem when we're short on shelf space!

need more shelf space, and this is a really sharp game, very quirky. would totally keep but kind of burned out on zoo theme

great gameplay, but wife isn't huge fan of the raiding and pillaging theme

we're at the point where we're simply not likely to play aggressive games ever, even if they're great

we're at the point where we're simply not going to play aggressive games likely ever, and trying to clear shelf space

we're at the point where we're simply not likely to play aggressive games ever, even if they're great

good fun, but better as team game, and we've already got codenames & mysterium

if i ever finish 7th continent + expansion, then will sell that to rebuy this, but no need to have two epic boxes full of adventure i'll never finish, and trying to save shelf space

abstracts are nice, but my wife likes 'em way more than me and we're trying to clear out shelf space, so focusing on games we both like equally

better with more than 2p and we're not going to be having any flicking parties any time soon

fun but clearing out to make room for dice realms

still great, but replaced by My Farm Shop

action selection is so cool, but the rest doesn't quite live up to other pandemic-style co-ops

looked all over and couldn't find. maybe lost in move?

saving shelf space, so going to stick with just my completely clank legacy box

saving shelf space, so going to stick with just my completely clank legacy box

ironically i should have stuck with my original edition with expansions stuffed into base box, as this big box is TOO big and i'm trying to clear out shelf space

a bit swingy at 2p

nice as a gateway to roll & writes, but too light and permissive for our tastes

lovely science sim, but would have loved to see tightened dice drafting for 2p

loved it, but my wife didn't like the aimless feel of not knowing who she was or what her goals are

at 2p, the resource distribution isn't as interesting as with more players

very innovative, but also a bit rules heavy

cool card combat system, but overlong and not tension filled enough. would benefit from co-op mode as well

very clever design, but so unconventional, it sort of did my brain in while playing

clever, but too long for my general dis-interest in the subject matter

great art and charm and solid glory to rome-lite gameplay, but not as many opportunities at 2p for following + some persnickety rules

not a fan of 2p implementation but love the story telling

clever little almost filler, but too cutthroat for us at 2p

sharp but too cutthroat for us

a nice streamlined version of grizzled, but wasn't a fan of 2p implementation, best at higher player counts

such a great design, but heavy and long so will more likely just play suburbia

nice precursor to Isle of Skye, but we'd rather play that one generally since the events are too swingy in this one, imo

too long and too fiddly, though gameplay itself is awesome

very clever, but not at its best at 2p

nice game, it made a good gift

a big improvement over elder sign, but 2p isn't great unless you control multiple heroes, which we're not a fan of

love the combat, and the worker placement is good, but my wife would have preferred a fantasty setting rather than killing human invasions

a really great abstract set collector with amazing components, but still a too on the abstract side for me

great gateway, easy mode robs a lot of flavor and fun. still, a bit too light for our tastes. i wonder if the expansions will push it farther

one of the best pickup & delivers i've seen, but it's still pu&d which is not our bag
