Big Sur
Let’s build a highway! 🛣️
Hand management + tableau building.
Turns are simple: draft 2 cards from the display, add cards to your tableau by using resources from your hand of cards/tableau/discard pile, then possibly claim a landmark which gives you abilities or end game points.
Great art!🎨

Any game with Paul Dennen’s name on it gets me interested. A train game with bag building just sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun.
One of my favorite train games is London Underground. It’s pure route building goodness.

The Great Library, the next game by @vitallacerda.bsky.social, @eaglegryphon.bsky.social and myself. Coming soon!

Port Royal BB
Been awhile since I’ve played. Still holds up. A push your luck card game. Saw some 4 color and a 5 color ship draws! It’s always exciting + tense no matter whose turn it is. Busting happens often so it never feels bad. I enjoyed the OG art but the BB version has nice art as well.

Canopy
Create the best rainforest by drafting trees, flora, and fauna. Faunas give special abilities while trees and flora are where most of your points will come from. Draft system is same as in Sea of Clouds. Look at cards in stack 1—keep or return. If return, look at stack 2, etc. Lovely!

The White Castle: Matcha
3R. 4 actions each R. Draft + place a die to chain combos. Super satisfying turns. Matcha adds a new resource and dice placement locations. Move geisha around to earn you more cards for your lantern bonuses as well as extra end game VP multipliers. Daimyo tokens are key!

Orichalcum
A race to 5vps that always comes down to the wire. Simple yet elegant gameplay. Draft a tile. Place it. Do 1 of 4 actions. Possibly do a bonus action. Repeat. Combat is as simple as can be and doesn’t feel bad even if you lose. Buildings + Titans give you interesting powers. A nice game!

The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-Earth
A great reskin/reimplementation of sorts of 7 Wonders: Duel. It’s a little bit more of a streamlined version of the base game while taking some ideas from both Pantheon and Agora and coating it all with amazing Vincent Dutrait art. Quick, smooth, and fun!

Snow Planner
Bring visitors to your ski resort and have them spend nights to earn VPs and bonuses. The longer they stay the better the benefits.
Dice worker placement game w/ card play + slight engine building. Workers can be upgraded (pipped up) to make actions stronger. Want to try the expansion.

Junk Orbit
Pick up junk and deliver to Earth, the moon, and Mars. Launch junk from your ship in one direction and move in the opposite direction. Junk can be delivered remotely via launching to the destination or directly by landing in the location. Light w/ quick decisions and has fun movement.

New games arrived! Can’t wait to play them! 🤩

Ladder 29
Ladder climbing card game. Cards numbered 1-15 with 4 suits/ranks and 5 special cards. Each round you draft a special scoring condition card that only applies to you. For example: “runs must end in odd” or “pairs and triples must have a red card” etc.
Tougher conditions score more points.

Lata
Run a Portuguese fish canning factory. Each round: ❶ Bid on turn order w/the # of actions you want in the round—fewer actions = earlier in turn order. ❷ Draft cards. ❸ Produce and sell goods. Produce goods w/cards in factory from left to right. Sell to market cards. ❹ Claim scoring cards.

Clans and Glory
Quick + light. Play 1 card on your turn and maybe add influence to the board. Cards played next to other cards - match in color/number. Cards played across from each other count. End of game, players earn cards where they have influence. 1st influence token gets lowest cards etc.

Rebuilding Seattle
Tile-laying game w/ an interesting decision of when to activate events to gain $ and/or VPs. On your turn, you’re generally buying suburb tiles and polyominoes (which go on top of the suburb tiles) to add to your neighborhood or you’re activating an event to earn $/VPs/bonuses.

Eauchemin
4R. 2 halves per round. 1st - move along rivers to gain resources. 2nd - move around in the bay/sea to deliver resources and gain influence in the many towns.
Resources gained are put into your storage from the bottom up and delivered in order from the top down. Quick w/ nice decisions.

Oak
❤️ the art + theme. Unique worker placement/management w/ cards. Druids can be upgraded w/ special abilities. Interesting decision space of how to use cards and which temple spaces to place druids. Powerful creature cards/artifacts let you break rules and guide your play. Underrated.
