Cozy Stickerville Review (Full Breakdown + Verdict) A detailed review of Cozy Stickerville, the legacy choose-your-own-adventure sticker game by Corey Konieczka.

Cozy Stickerville was a revelation for me. I've never been keen on narrative/legacy games, but I loved this one—and it even got me itching to explore more games like it! I got my money's worth from this one-time experience.

Century: Golem Edition Review (Full Breakdown + Verdict) Century: Golem Edition is pure engine-building card play. Unfortunately, its gorgeous production doesn't make up for thin gameplay.

Century: Golem Edition is an excellent introduction to the engine building genre, and the above-average production makes it feel good to play. But it's a bit too streamlined—it lacks the oomph that would keep me coming back to it. shelfgamer.com/reviews/cent...

A Place for All My Books Review (Full Breakdown + Verdict) A Place for All My Books is a cozy twist on worker placement, in which you play as an introverted bookworm cooped up in your apartment.

I wanted to like A Place for All My Books because it's cute and the theme resonates. But as a game? It's underbaked and I couldn't find the fun in it...

Dungeons, Dice & Danger Review (Full Breakdown + Verdict) Dungeons, Dice & Danger is an adventurous romp through a dungeon, driven by smart dice manipulation and clever strategy.

Dungeons, Dice & Danger is a solid roll-and-write experience and a good entry point for something a tad more advanced than the usual lightweight fare in this genre. It's also great solo. Have you played it?

Turing Machine Review: In-Depth Board Game Breakdown I've never played a deduction game like Turing Machine before. It's impressive, thinky, creative, and worthy of all the accolades.

Turing Machine is so good. shelfgamer.com/reviews/turi... #boardgames #reviews

Nice mix! Lots of light games and then BAM... Ark Nova lol. Glad to see Sedlec and Mantis, I really enjoy both.

Tonight we're playing Kronologic Cuzco 1450! So far seems like a nicely thinky logic deduction game

The Vale of Eternity Review: In-Depth Experience Breakdown The Vale of Eternity distills TCG gameplay into a pure engine builder that sounds awesome on paper but lacks that special sauce.

The Vale of Eternity is one I wanted to love, but it lacked that special sauce. Maybe I'm just not big on TCG-style gameplay, even if it's streamlined like this. shelfgamer.com/reviews/the-...

Junk Art Review Junk Art has all the elements of a family classic. It's fast, fresh, and fun—with lots of variety and only a few flaws worth noting.

I'm generally neutral on dexterity games. But if I had to suggest one? It'd be Junk Art every time. It's fresh, creative, and replayable, with several different game modes that let you play how you like best. shelfgamer.com/reviews/junk...

Just an introvert playing a game about being an introvert. A Place for All My Books #boardgames #gamenight

Sagrada Sagrada Sagrada... It's surprisingly addictive.

Very interesting! I might have to check it out again then. Thanks. 😃

Is this a new version?? I've only seen the one with rounded planets and I skipped it because it seemed like a usability issue. The angled corners are way better!

First time playing Sagrada and it's great! Got some rules wrong at first but played a few more times and got it right. Perfect for a weeknight.

Décorum Review: A Reminder That Board Games Need to Be Fun First "A game of passive aggressive cohabitation" is the perfect tagline for this game—and perhaps a bit too accurate for its own good.

Décorum looks nice and has a great cooperative deduction concept, but the gameplay is too ambiguous, fragile, and frustrating. I wanted to love it... but I don't see myself playing it again. shelfgamer.com/reviews/deco...

Oof that's vicious! Yeah def don't do that in a game you want to keep playing lol

Duel for Cardia Review: The Most Tactical 16-Card Duel I've Ever Played Duel for Cardia is one of the cleanest, fastest, and most replayable 2-player card duels ever made—and it only gets better the more you play it.

Duel for Cardia is a cleverly designed 2-player dueling card game that packs a ton of depth into a tiny package, but it demands a lot of investment for its depth to show. It's one of the better 2-player dueling card games, but not to my tastes. Here's why.

Exploring some more new-to-me deduction games! Tonight it's Turing Machine and it's kind of blowing my mind. How did anyone even come up with this?!

First time playing Harmonies last night. Ended up playing three times in a row! Not quite a "favorite" for me yet, but it could grow into it. So far, so good!

Whoops. I said "set collection" but it's more like "contract fulfillment."

Lure Review: This Chill Push-Your-Luck Dice Chucker Surprised Me Lure is a chill push-your-luck dice-chucking game where you need to outwit your opponents for first dibs at the fishing pond.

Lure quickly became one of my favorite comfort games. Dice chucking? Check. Set collection? Check. A push-your-luck blind bidding auction that determines turn order AND how many dice you get to roll? Check! Simple, fast, and pleasant.

I forgot how fun and relaxing Cartographers can be, especially when played with markers. It's like a coloring book. Perfect for a weeknight.

We're playing Wingspan today! Yeah I'm late to the party.

I hoped Tom was taking care to craft a statement that'd address all this. That quote in the article really sucks. I love their videos but I just can't look at any of the DT crew the same anymore.

Tag Team is my favorite 2-player dueling card game of all time! The quick setup, fast turns, short play time, deckbuilding decisions, rising tension—I can see why some wouldn't like it, but I love it.

#boardgames #cardgames #tabletopgames #reviews

Yeah it ended up being more interesting! Got in each other's way a lot more and struggled to get stuff done. Tense but fun!

Snowed in and ready to play Santa's Workshop! This time it's the Advanced side. Hoping this side plays better at 2p
