      @@cg5380 The best one to start with is The Happy Trails Horror, from Series 1. It's the most straightforward, with no special rules, making it the easiest one to learn the games systems with (no less difficult to win, though). Don't forget you need to have a Core Box as well, in order to play.

    Specifically of those released so far this year my favorites have been Earth and Steam Up (mostly for the cute dumpling components), but new to me in general include BattleLore Second Edition which is celebrating its 10th anniversary so I figured I should get it off the shelf of opportunity, Mille Fiori, Carnegie, Trekking the National Parks, and Raccoon Tycoon!

    1. City of the Great Machine - this game is criminally underrated
    2. Scarface 1920 - this game is amazing and is being noticed for how great it is more every day
    3. For Glory - the expansion released this year and is my first time playing it and is my favorite 2p game of all time easily
    4. Hegemony - this is one is just special
    ill wait to rank anything else. it would be hard for me to see any other games this year being better than these though. i have plenty of games im looking forward to this year but these games are fantastic and not getting the love they deserve imo

    Favorite game of 2023 for me is definitely Legacy of Yu! I'm only 3 games in, but I'm enjoying it so so much.
    I tried Oak a few weeks ago too, it's from last year but it was new to me. One of the most stunning games I've ever tried, put it on my wishlist immediately. Also tried Weather Machine recently, and loved it!
    And the one that's supposed to come out in 2023, and the one I've been anticipating for months and months, is Septima. Such a beautiful game.

  • @laurencesingh3948
    @laurencesingh3948 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I've been loving Darwin's Journey! I've played six times this month - all solo. And it's just a delight with all the combos that you can pull off and the blending of so many different mechanics.
    My favourite game so far this year is Sabika. It was released late last year and I was just able to obtain and table it this month. I've played six games of that so far and it may be the best solo game in my collection. It has a cool historical theme and elegantly interwoven mechanics with a ton of replayability. The solo mode is probably the best combination of simple AI upkeep with competitive scoring. Four of the six games I've played were decided by six points or fewer (two wins and two losses).
    New to me this month, also, is Obsession. I adore the theme and the gameplay is solid and thematically engaging. After corresponding a little with Dan Hallagan (who is an awesome person) I bought everything available through Kayenta Games' website. I've only played the base game stuff so far and I'm stoked to get some multiplayer games in and start introducing the expansion content, as well.

    Favourite new game this year is Legacy of Yu. I just finished the campaign - it is so challenging, thematic, and memorable, I love it. I sleeved all the cards and am lending it to my brothers next, though I really want to do another playthrough soon, so I hope they will finish it quickly xD.
