 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
So during lockdown me and the missus have re-discovered board games. Seems things have moved on some since our youth. Nowadays the good stuff costs upwards of 40 quid.
So far we have:-
Wingspan: Combines bird nerdiness and cards and we love it.
Sherlock Holmes consulting detective: Its been around awhile and we love that too, expansions will be bought soon.
Everdell : Similar to wingspan, it comes under the " Card engine building" tab in the geeky game universe, also good but not as good as the above.
on order is.. The mansions of Madness: Board game and app combination that has good reviews.
I had no idea there were so many, i knew about Carcassonne but blimey there's hundreds of good games out there.
Anyone else been buying games to get through?
Triominoes is like dominoes but better after wine
There is a massive thread on here mate, if you can find it.👍😁
Cougar is well into gaming from memory.
Hello!
Lol, I knew it.😁
This is probably relevant. There's a more recent thread but it didn't go very far.

... I mean,
Are you looking for recommendations or just a chat?
Wangspin is well regarded but it was massively hyped at the time. Nonetheless, if you enjoy it you enjoy it so who cares.
Does that Sherlock have expansions? I thought they were all standalone games?
Never played Everdell but again, it's well regarded and I do like me a bit of worker placement. If you like deck / engine building you need at least one Dominion in your life.
Mansions of Madness seems to be a bit Marmite, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
There is indeed a massive thread already, my apologies

Add up the scores as you go along, it's a bit easier than waiting to the end.
This is good, but make a bag for the tiles - far easier to setup & play.
Some of the favourites in my family (wife and 10 y/o twin girls) include:
Mission Red planet second edition
The Quest for Eldorado
Camel Up
Skull
Hanabi
The Crew, the quest for planet nine
