Some of the games we have played at game night!
First play of a new game, Junk Art
Indeed it is a 'stack oddly shaped pieces' game. The twist is the different directives, the tallest, the fastest, etc. I do like these type of dexterity games, will play again.
An old favorite, Dominion
Build a deck with the most victory points. The key is building an engine that gets going before the end of the game sneaks up on you. They put out so many expansions that there are still many new-to-me cards.
Villainous So good! Asymmetric play where everyone has different winning conditions, many involve messing with the other players. You are, after all, a villian.
Stylish playing pieces!!
Codenames both a fun party game and hard-core.
Simple, get your team to guess the correct words in the grid. For the words 'forest' and 'maple', give the clue 'tree'. But what if they also guess 'swing' which gives points to the other team. Much harder to play than it seems.
Railroad Ink is a roll (the dice) and write (on a whiteboard game sheet). Below we have the same dice rolls for all, but 3 players have different transportation layouts.
Good amount of randomness.
Professor Evil and the Citadel of Time Good co-op game. Almost all the games I've played have come down to the last turn and we win or lose by the skin of our teeth.
Trying to steal Professor Evil's treasures. All you have to do is turn off his cameras, locks, lasers, and buzzsaws-yikes!
Fail!
My logic puzzle loving heart can not get enough of Tobago!
Use logic statements to determine where the buried treasure is on the island, then go dig it up!
The longest treasure investment I've ever seen. This treasure was next to the ocean, not in a lake, not next to a palm tree, near the biggest river, but not in the biggest river, beach, grasslands, jungle, lake, or mountains.
Tiny Towns Who will build the best tiny town?
Everyone plays with the same building set, but different choices lead to different towns. A bit like Railroad Ink.
Building meeples are cute.
If you want to build a cottage, simply place a yellow, blue, and red cube in the correct spots. So easy! Until it isn't...
7 Wonders Oh a classic! A great game for a larger group, but goes quickly because you only pay attention to your 2 neighbors. When we first played this game it was (relatively) easy to win by science but folks figured out how to shut that down. What hasn't changed is that you can't win by war.
