There is strategy though. It’s all about your decisions at the start and assumptions you make about opponents.

I enjoy this one! And you’re right. Quite a push and pull.

CO2 is great

Agree

I like Village. A bit underrated in my opinion.

I only dabble on MTG Arena and I wonder how physical players keep up with all the releases.

I do not mind teaching. I enjoy it more, the more confident I am in the rules.

I never win when I teach. I enjoy this game. I appreciate the crunch. Little theming however.

I know this feeling. Such a great game once you get a handle of it. One of my favorites!

Gaia Project is wonderful. Definitely for fans of Age of Innovation/Terra Mystica. Length can be improved with replays.

Tokaido is a great game that feels serene. I'm always in a good mood after playing.

Knowing what I know now about the game. If you have something you’re enjoying - stick with that for now. My two cents.

Just got it from the Apple Arcade for “free”. I’m not sure if it’s the regular version.

I do like it. But it has a learning curve. So far, it’s just enough new without killing the old. I liked the simplicity of the previous versions.

Love the COIN series.

This is a solid play.

Orleans is lovely.

Played Mascarade a few times last weekend. It still holds up for me. One of my favorite social deduction #boardgames.

I enjoy how it sometimes makes you do what you don’t really want to do but have to do to not lose.

I really enjoy this one.

Oh man! I remember this!

Can’t wait to break out my copy.

I’m still looking to get a fair game of this on. I played once and we were learning. We didn’t get a true feel of it.

Earth, Everdell, Concordia, Great Western Trail

Oldie but a goodie

I’m with you 100%.

Lovely game

Have you had a chance to play Apiary yet? A worker placement game with aging workers. And what are they? Space bees!

Good times.

#boardgames

Fingers crossed!

I'm looking forward to getting this to the table.

Yes, Codenames holds up. But if you're looking for a new one in the space I recommend:

Just One
Chronology
Sound Box (a little more intense)
Fun Facts

Such a relaxing game, but a game none-the-less.
