  • And just some general game recommendations:
    1+ players:
    Spirit Island
    take control of asymmetric spirits who protect island and its natives from invaders. uses deckbuilding to amass powerful ability cards and combos to unleash all kinds of havoc on the spreading horde of invaders as the try to colonize the island.

    superb game, great challenge with finely grained difficulty curve through differing modes/challenges to follow your skill level. often hailed as one of the best solo games on the market.

    Tiny Towns:
    basic game where you take resources and use them to pattern buildings on your town grid to generate points and create synergies with other buildings to make combos. a fun challenge that plays as well solo as it does with a group. minimal AI, VP/points based objective, incredibly quick to play.

    Aeon's End
    One of the most highly rated deckbuilder games, take control of 2-4 mages and face off against a nemesis as you work to save the town from destruction and defeat them and their minions. uses a randomised fixed market of cards for each game against one of a whole host of nemesis. another challenging play but fun.

    2+ players:

    Clank Legacy.
    you each take control of a ne'er-do-well and start a corporate band of dungeon thieves each competing to go out and steal as much treasure from the local towns while avoiding the wrath of the dragon which inhabits the area.

    Excellent deckbuilding game with push your luck elements that has had an extremely clever legacy campaign overlaid onto the base clank game which sees you completely change your game in a number of permanent ways over a run of about 10 games leaving you with a uniquely finished board at the end on which to play subsequent games using the non-campaign ruleset.

    I got this for my GF & I and while we struggle to find time to play as I'm rarely home in london it is an absolute blast, second best game of 2019 for me.

    Copenhagen.
    Use card drafting to claim polyomino tiles to lay tetris style & build a facade on the side of your house board to score points for completed patterns. simple victory point race, good for light gaming sessions.
