A fun gateway game about resource management and placement that still consistently has just enough going for it to get it to the table. 6.5/10

An excellent horror-themed game about exploring a mysterious house that gets better the less seriously you take it. Can you survive? Or will the traitor bring the walls crashing down around you? 9/10

A cool microgame that calls back to its predecessor, Love Letter, while bringing a few (but not many) new or exciting features to the table. 7/10

A new addition to the modular microgame Lost Legacy that introduces fun new mechanics focusing on the cards you've discarded and makes the gameplay fresh and entertaining. 8.5/10

A double-deck pack for the modular microgame Lost Legacy that has one amazing expansion focusing heavily on player elimination and one really confusing one that turns the existing gameplay on its head, but not always for the better. 8/10

A delightful category / word game that can liven up parties exactly twice in one night. A great way to break the ice and get people talking, albeit a bit louder and/or faster than they would probably like. 9/10.

A six-deck follow-up to Anomia, adding more cards and some blank cards that let you write your own categories on them to make gameplay even more fun and even more complicated. 9/10

A preposterously short but fun press-your-luck dice game. Can you slay all the dragons and go home a champion? Or will bad luck or your opponents' challenges leave you burnt? 6.5 / 10

A surprisingly-deep-for-its-length strategy game about trying to assemble the most impressive gem network. A lot of skill and a little bit of luck required, but a very fun game overall. 8.5/10

An excellent variant on the popular BANG!, trading a lot of complexity for a drastically reduced length. As the Sheriff, his Deputies, and the Outlaws come to blows in the West, the Renegade remains out for himself. Who will win? 8/10

One of the quintessential social deduction / bluffing games, Avalon pits the forces of King Arthur against the minions of Mordred. Merlin can tell you who isn't on your side, but if the evil players figure out who he is, all is lost. A great way to spend some evenings, even better if you don't take it seriously. 8/10

These promotitional cards for Avalon include Good and Evil Lancelot, two characters that change roles during the game. While these make the game a lot of fun, some balancing is required to make them not broken. This also adds Excalibur, a card that can force a player to change a Success for a Fail (or vice versa) at a crucial moment. Lancelots good, Excalibur bad. 8.5 / 10

A very unique game about your attempts to have the nicest Japanese vacation. Characterized strongly by its novel approach to player turn order. Strong art and fun gameplay make it a delight. 7.5 / 10

An amazing game that sits somewhere between Pictionary and Balderdash, Dixit's unique and whimsical art style allows players to find many different meanings in the cards. Those meanings, however, need to be used smartly to trick players into guessing which card belongs to the active player. Great game, terrible rabbit tokens. 9/10

An excellent follow-up to Dixit, Odyssey adds support for 12 players and redesigns the board to be a bit less terrible. Adds in some new modes as well that make gameplay interesting. 9.5/10

A cool little Kickstarter game about trying to dedicate sets of Lantern cards during the lake's Harvest Festival. Cool art adds to fun gameplay, but the strategy seems somewhat inscrutable. 8.5/10

Another double-deck pack for the modular Lost Legacy series, the Third Chronicle really gets it right with a strong standalone deck and a deck that works very well combined with other sets. Fun gameplay, new mechanics, and entertaining effects make this a strong entry for the franchise. 9/10

Combining somewhat tense cooperative gameplay with a fun, thematic experience, Hanabi challenges players to work together to make the ultimate fireworks show. A lot of fun in a small package, Hanabi isn't my favorite game of all time but still consistently makes it to the table. 7.5 / 10

Forcing players to think ahead while on a winding path, Tsuro is a fun filler game for 2-8 players that, while light, always manages to be pretty entertaining. 8 / 10

A great gateway game into tile-laying and area-control games, Carcassonne is a fun game that becomes a bona fide classic with expansions. 9/10 with expansions, otherwise 7/10 for base game.

Successfully adding some extremely interesting new elements without causing any gameplay issues, Carcassonne: Inns and Cathedrals is a necessary if not perfect expansion to an already excellent game, and I&C deserves AND earns my rare 10 / 10.

With a heavy focus on cities, Traders and Builders incentivizes keeping an eye on other players and occasionally even helping them complete features ... for your own gain. Adding a pig to boost farms and a builder to potentially give savvy players a second consecutive turn makes T&B another essential Carcassonne expansion, as it offers several new avenues for strategic players to score big and synergizes well with other expansions. 9/10

With a large number of different ways to achieve success, Roll for the Galaxy offers endless replay value and the satisfaction of rolling, like, 15+ dice at once, even if it's a bit tough to explain to new players. Don't worry; you'll get it eventually. 9/10

With five different roles to claim (whether or not you choose to lie), Coup packs a lot of fun bluffing into a short, light package, but doesn't always make it to the table. 7.5 / 10
