Horses, Ways and Exile…Dominion Menagerie is a 10/10 expansion for us. 🐎

First time playing A Gentle Rain. It’s a beautiful and peaceful little puzzle that’s a good bit harder to score highly than it initially looks! Fun and relaxing.

Currently on Kickstarter: 14ers by Grazing Bear Games, and stunning artwork by Hinterland outdoors. We enjoyed the mountain and hiking theme and opportunity to play this prototype.

Only a few plays in, but sometimes you can tell instantly when a game is going to be a new family favorite. #PlanetUnknown #boardgames

🌊⛵️ Sail is a rare gem — a true 2-player trick-taking game where you and your partner navigate stormy seas & fend off a Kraken. 🦑
It’s tense, clever, & very thematic, though we found the rulebook took a bit of deciphering. Once you get it, it’s quick, replayable, & very fun!

Skull King🏴‍☠️
Yo ho ho! This pirate-themed trick-taking game has quickly become one of our favorite ways to bring fun and chaos to the table. It plays best with 3+ players, where the table-pounding bids and sudden appearances of various characters make every hand unpredictable and exciting.

OUR CURRENT FAVORITE GAMES FOR ONLY 2 PLAYERS: 🎲❤️
We've been spending some time in the evenings unwinding with a game lately just the two of us after dinner and getting our daughter to bed, and these three classics keep coming back to the table.

The Root iOS app is 10/10 good. I’ve never played the game on the table before, but this might be one game I end up just sticking with owning the digital version of.

Carcassonne has aged gracefully. It doesn't have the more complex strategic depth of many other games, but there's beauty in its simplicity.
It's accessible, replayable, and hits both the relaxing and strategic notes we love. A family-friendly classic we highly recommend. #boardgames #boardgaming

The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine

We'd heard about this trick-taking game for a little while before finally picking up a copy, and wow — it lives up to the hype! Instead of trying to outscore each other, you're working together to accomplish missions that get harder.
Our score: 9.5/10

TOBAGO 🏝️🗿💰

This is a very clever deduction game involving treasure on an island--once you find the treasure there's a fun push-your-luck system that keeps everyone on edge.

This has quickly become one of our favorites!

Our overall score: 9.5/10

Here’s a stack of the games hitting our table most often lately. Our two most played this year have been lost cities & dominion—as these two games are fantastic for 2 players!
