Do you think there is space in a collection for both Gaia Project and Terra Mystica?
Finally got to play a four player game of Gaia project recently! While four players seemed a bit slow, it was still a very enjoy able experience! In Gaia Project players are playing a unique faction and expanding their reach across a galaxy! This can be done by investing into six different areas: Terraforming, Navigation, Artificial Intelligence, Gaiaforming, Economy, and Research which each leads to a different bonus, abilities, and victory points. This play through I was able to play with the Lantids who have a special power where they can build mines on already inhabited planets! I really enjoyed this faction and I am looking forward to trying them out again!

Making our way through our 5x5 challenge with another play of Orleans! In this bag builder, players are attempting to grow their followers and recruit different professions to their cause to help them grow their wealth! In our last game we talked about how it felt like there was a dominate path to go down. It feels like getting craftsmen (brown which give you the technology tokens) and knights (red which let you draw more workers) is the necessary path to follow. If you combine that with the bathhouse building (draw two extra workers and put one back) then I have a hard time seeing a strategy that beats that. We do not have a ton of plays in this game so we could be totally off base, so we are excited to hear your thoughts if you think you can win not following this strategy!

What is the most interesting/unique boardgame board?
Got to try Tzolk'in with 4 players recently and it felt so much tighter! In this dynamic worker placement game players are working to construct buildings, research technologies, and gain the favor of the gods during the Mayan Times. Each turn players choose to either place one or more of their workers on one of the five interlocking gears or take their existing workers off those gears to gain the benefit associated with that space. There are a lot of things to do on this incredibly designed board!

Maracaibo keeps making its way to our table recently! In Maracaibo players are working to build their influence with three countries while sailing and training throughout the Caribbean! There feels like there are so many different paths to explore in this game, you can focus on conquering, or exploring, upgrading your ship or finding assistants to help you along your journey in the Caribbean. Each time this hits the table I feel like I get to try out a different strategy which makes it feel refreshing, even if it wasn’t that long since our last play!

Enjoyed playing Martin Wallace’s Age of Steam again recently! In this economic game players are building rail networks across the map hoping to be the most successful company! This game is very cut throat - players will try to run other tracks into the abyss, steal goods out from under one another, and out maneuver each other to get that new city out onto the board! All of this is done with no hidden information which brings in a lot of “playing the player” opportunities. There are also so many maps which each come with a different rule set so you can play this one for a long time!

Gave A Feast For Odin another try recently with the expansion and really enjoyed it! In this game players control a Viking clan and utilize work placement to explore, trade, hunt, and expand their tribe. The expansion adds a modular action board which changes what actions are available depending on player count. This really helps narrow the choices available which was nice for our second play!

We were lucky enough to grab a copy of The Red Cathedral this weekend! This is a new game where players take on the role of construction teams to build a grand cathedral for Tsar Ivan. This game utilizes a community rondel for players to get resources which they will use to build their sections of the cathedral. There are six different color dice in the rondel and the dice move exactly how many spaces as their pip value. After a dice is moved you obtain resources and roll all the dice in that space ensuring tactical decisions will need to be made. What really makes this game shine is the fact the dice can be upgraded. Each color dice can get a special ability specific to you which activates any time you move that particular dice. These upgrades can be anything from getting extra resources to getting the benefit of another color die when it is moved!
This is a bit of a longer post because I am very impressed with this game. The actions seemed so interesting and strategies needed to be changed depending on the board state. The components were of very high quality and the games take less than an hour and a half. I highly recommend this game and want to hear your thoughts on it!

What is your favorite heavy coop game that isn't Spirit Island?
We have, as always, been playing a lot of Spirit Island recently! In this amazing cooperative game players are building up powerful spirits to protect their island and native inhabitants from harmful invaders. Each spirit is unique and focuses in one or more aspects of the game which leads to an incredible amount of replayablity. We have stopped playing with event cards for our last few plays. We found they extend the game a significant amount and don’t add enjoyment for us. The new expansion adds a variant which you can play with if you are not using events which allow for a bit more control over beast tokens. I got to try out Many Minds Move as One (which focuses on manipulating beast tokens) and it was so much fun setting up for some amazing turns where the beasts wreak havoc on the invaders!

We tried out Pfister's other masterpiece in the same day as we played Maracaibo to compare them! In Great Western Trail players are cattle herders working to shuttle cattle, build buildings, and develop a rail network! There are so many paths to victory in this game! You can spend your time getting all the best cattle cards into your deck, build up an empire, or build the best trains out there! Each strategy is exciting and I am excited to add in the expansion soon!

What is your favorite mechanism to determine turn order?
We got to try out Scoville for the first time recently! In this game players take on the role of pepper farmers working to provide their town with hot peppers and spicy orders! This game utilizes a fun matrix mechanism where players tend the field to cross pollinate peppers working their way up to the coveted crystal pepper. This was a very interesting mechanic that was fun to figure out how to optimize! The other thing I really enjoy in this game is the turn mechanism. You can bid to go first which means you will get to plant and fulfil orders first, but harvest last! Really makes for some fun and interesting choices when deciding what you want to bid!

Got Five Tribes to the table recently! In this game players are working to become the next Sultan by manipulating different tribes and gaining the favors of the Djinns! Every turn each player takes all the meeples on a single tile and moves them to a new tile, dropping one meeple on each square they pass. The location, as well as the color you drop on the final tile, determines what actions you are able to perform that round. This game has a huge decision space and a lot of choices each round!

Stone Age - Bernd Brunnhofer
This is a typical worker placement game that focuses on probability. Unlike many other worker placement games when you place your worker somewhere an outcome is guaranteed.Here it is not. This is only true with resource gathering.All the other locations operate as you would expect. The rounds are very quick.
My version had a cool cup of leather that was stitched together for rolling the dice which gave it an ancient vibe. I'm a sucker for great game pieces like this.
The concept of tools to increase the dice rolls is a great way to show your society focuses on advancement.This is at the cost of population increase or resource gathering.The same is true for agriculture. You can spend workers to develop your agricultural advancement which will make food automatically produced in later turns.The cost here is the same as for tools. There is also an interesting move where you can block the purchase of a point card by spending a worker to stand on it.This is a fairly original idea and it can make tight games more interesting.
It is great that there is no clear 'best' way to play this game. A combination of technology, population, and agriculture all seem to work as well as focusing on a single one of these.
The game is enjoyable but there is not much depth here so it won't be to everyone's liking.
Adrenaline is more than meets the eye: beneath the miniatures and weapons, it’s a sharp area-control eurogame in disguise. This BoardGamesnMore feature explains its fast-paced ammo strategy, respawn mechanics, and FPS-inspired theme. Ideal for players seeking high replayability and immersive table battles.
