2 player Land vs Sea - really good 2 player game (that also plays well with 3 and 4 - but was intended mainly as a 2 player game, I think). One player is trying to close off land areas (+ extend mountain ranges), while the other is trying to close off water areas (+ extend coral patches). Really good back and forth. I’d play this game anytime. #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #landvsseaboardgame #goodgamepublishing

World Wonders by Arcane Wonders. I thought the objective was to build wonders - so I did - and came in last (of 5). The game is really about covering as much of your board as you can. This was the hotness at Gen Con last year - but I thought it was just very average. I’ll play it again though. #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #thegamechamber #worldwondersboardgame #arcanewonders

Darwin’s Journey - in which you are racing against time (i.e. Darwin) to discover, document and publish the new species you discover in the Galapagos Islands. Was a lot going on in this game, but I liked it. We’ll play it again, but I want to read the rules first! #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #darwinsjourneyboardgame #thundergryphgames

Ecosystem: Savanna, in which you are building your own tableau representing an African ecosystem via card drafting. Nice, light, 15 minute or so filler. Where the cards are matter - in my tableau (2nd pic), I’ve lined up cheetahs on the same diagonal as my gazelles - oh and vultures are “above” - and hyenas are close to where those flipped gazelle cards will be. I quite liked this one. Game courtesy of the publisher for review purposes. My opinion is my own. #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #thegamechamber #ecosystemsavanna #gotgeniusgames

Introduced Russian Railroads to my friends Dave and Simon - such a great game. Interesting blend of worker placement and unlocking improvements. Still in my top 10 games. #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #thegamechamber #russianrailroadsboardgame #zmangames

Low Lands - a game about raising and selling sheep, fencing in your pastures, adding buildings and cooperatively building a dike to avoid a flood at the end of the game. Reminded me of Agricola with the player boards and building fences. I liked it. #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #thegamechamber #lowlandsgame #zmangames

Gangs of the Wild West - solo mode! Had to make a few changes to adapt to the new design, but feels complete now. This is my third sequential solo play - the difficulty ramps up with each play - will see how far I get! 🤠 #boardgamedesign #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #felinefrenzy _game #gangsofthewildwest #kraatzie _games

All set to go with a 4-player playtest of my game Gangs of the Wild West. Note the “Gold 1 Personality” card in the foreground - this player is going for a Gold win - this card helps to guide decisions to stay focused on that goal. This is playtest #124 . 🤠 #boardgamedesign #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #gangsofthewildwest #kraatzie _games

Pyramido, in which you are drafting coloured tiles and placing them in ever smaller layers, hoping to score large areas of each colour with icons on them. While I did like the game, I thought the player interaction was kinda negative. Each turn when you add to the tile choices, you are only trying to NOT help the player to your left. This felt like it could have been a better experience - something positive to do each turn instead of something purely negative. Could have used some more development I think to improve on that aspect of the game. #boardgame #boardgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #tabletopgame #tabletopgames #bordspel #analoggames #thegamechamber #pyramidogame
