  • Talisman 5e with the co-op expansion: Alliances.

    I know 5th edition is looked down on by purists, but we had fun. Hopefully expansions will keep coming and build up the game like earlier editions. Apparently 5th edition is not compatible with earlier edition expansions. I enjoy the campaign style progression of Alliances as you unlock new characters each playthrough, and being fully cooperative means less bickering over rule interpretation.

  • We hadde a board game day on saturday.

    Bus: New to the group, felt like a family version of Food Chain Magnate. Really fun, and I like that you only have 20 actions total.

    Concordia: New to me and one other of the group. A nice engine builder that seems to rely less on randomness than some of the others we play. We had a great time, even though I was more focused on engine building than scoring.

    Fun facts: A party game, played while making pizza. Trying to rank each others response to a question.

    Ito: Played while eating pizza. Another party game, here you are given a number, and everyone needs to answer a question in a way that relates to their number and place them face down trying to end up with a correct sequence. It's fine.

    Good cop, bad cop: A short and simple hidden role game with guns.

    Doodle dash: A drawing game with a time element, this is so fun because most of is tries to be done in five seconds, while the slowest players usually end up with just a few lines.

    Bang! the dice game: Another hidden role game, this with dice. Still fun after all these years.

    We started the day with just the core group, then around pizza time the casual players showed up and we pivoted to games for 7-8 players. Fun day, even if we played easier games. We rally liked Bus.

  • Secret Hitler. It's the only board game I play right now, because I enjoy it so much.
