Spent the last couple days playing through my collection, was a great idea!
Brought out:
Black Fleet - A new purchase. Anything with limited sabotage is up my alley, and the theme just makes me love it even more.
Splendor (only sat on the shelf for a year...!) To be honest, I don't remember why I even bought this, maybe a random review I read somewhere. It's got a nice mechanic, and nice tokens. Little bit of strategy and a little bit of luck. Can't go wrong. This will get a lot of play. Wish I had brought it out sooner! The husband wants to play this on a nightly basis, so I consider it a truly good game.
Machi Koro - Picked this one up in anticipation of the tournament at Fan Expo. I like it; seems kind of like the bastardized lovechild of Catan & Monopoly. It's fun. I can't wait to upgrade the cardboard tokens to real coins though. Yuck, cheap cardboard tokens.
Mammut - I got this in a trade, and it will probably get recycled to spare others from this horrible game unless it is drastically better with 4 players (we played through as a duo, and....no. Just no.) Does anybody like this game? Serious question.
Also learned Sushi Go! (which I really like, and is easy to pick up). Also played through a friend's copies of Stone Age, and Champions of Midgard (which seems like Stone Age with vikings to me) so was a bit repetitive in that sense. Neither of those two really gets me jazzed up but it did let me unload my unplayed copy of Stone Age without any sadness, so I consider that a win.
