    Just got into the hobby with my dear wife this year. So it's all been new to us. I believe you are at least partially responsible for about half of our burgeoning collection. My wallet is Ralph Wiggum on the bus.
    Top 10 for me is probably Castles of Burgundy, Keyflower, Ginkgopolis, Targi, The Prodigal's Club, El Grande, Dune Imperium, Codenames, Hive and Hansa Teutonica.

    My favorite new to me games this year were Acquire, Blitzkrieg, Viscounts of the west kingdom and Wayfarers of the south tigris.

    The way you describe Circus Flohcati, it sounds a LOT like Dead Man's Draw which is another great push-your-luck game.
    Didn't realize they were so similar!

    We have owned the original version of Shipyard for a LOT of years and never touched it until this year and I absolutely loved it. Also finally got around to playing Wind the Film this year and that was also amazing. We played Fast Sloths a few years back and have been keeping an eye out for a used copy and we managed to grab one this year. Excellent topic that I hope you revisit next year.

    5 Cucumbers works well as an intro to trick-taking. I find 2 players even worked well with nongamers.
    I am currently checking out 40 card Italian playing cards and Scopa. I will tackle Hanafuda next.

    Finally played Nusfjord this year and loved it - easy #1 new to me game for 2024.
    And it's a crime that y'all hadn't played Fast Sloths until this year - such a great game and such a perfect Murphs game. If you want a different under-appreciated Friese game to check out, Free Ride is worth your time. Nowhere near as silly, but just a really solid train game that's a step up from Ticket to Ride but still dead simple rules-wise

    Also discovered Dice Town this year and it was a lot fun! The best new to me older game (okay it came out in 2022) is Federation. It’s now in my top 10 of all time. Mid-heavy worker placement with dual sided workers giving different benefits as well as outstanding player interaction through a voting-themed area majority mechanism. Played it once on BGA and immediately tracked down a copy.

    Seas of Strife was new to me as well (courtesy of Steeeeeeve during DTW) and it became an instant buy - that game got its freaking hooks in me, and I'm sad that my group is small and doesn't like trick taking.

    My Top 10 New To Me games this year using your rules using games from 2022 or older: (my ranking is not by favorites but by # of times I played the game)
    1 - Super Mega Lucky Box (2021) which I was introduced to in May, and played it a TON through June
    2 - Paperback (2014) got the app from Steam and play it a bunch when I want to scratch that letter jumble itch
    3 - Diceathlon (2022) simple yet challenging roll & write
    4 - Dice Hospital (2018) I bought the actual game more than a year ago, but only first played it in November on BGA
    5 - Martian Dice (2011) first played this one in January
    6 - Regicide (2020) card battler essentially using a normal deck of cards
    7 - Vulture Culture/What the Heck? (2015/1988) card game
    8 - Mutant Crops (2016) simple worker placement card game
    9 - NEOM (2018) 5x5 city builder, I enjoyed this so much, I bought the physical version
    10 - 18 Holes (2020) tiled golf game, the ONLY physical board game I played on this list
    HM - Bad Brood (2019) a Gloom-like game where you try to raise the worst child ever (played the physical version)
    HM - Dice Hospital: ER Emergency Roll (2022) roll and write version of the board game
    HM - Finca (2018) re-released worker placement game
    HM - Monster Factory (2012) fun little tile placement
    I haven't played any other game this year more than twice that fits the criteria, but I only just played Coloretto (2003) for the first time this last week, I'm sure to play it more before the end of the year
    All games listed are games I played on BGA except where noted.

    I made a point of playing some time honored classics this year. Grand Austria Hotel, Concordia, Ginkgopolis, Tzolk’in: the Mayan Calendar, La Granja all got my 1st play. If those had been my only games played all year it would have been a great year of gaming. I finally got Tawantinsuyu and Rajas of the Ganges: the Dice Charmers off the shelf of shame.

    Coloretto is sooooooooooooo good. One of my favourite small box card games. That and No Thanks! Gives me a similar sort of "I will never financially recover from this" feeling and that's what I live for in games
    Not sure if you played the card game version of Bruxelles (I haven't played the big box one so I don't know how they compare) but I'd recommend that too. Very crunchy for the form factor with every decision affecting multiple paths to VPs

    Clans of Caledonia for me. Started playing on bga. But now I was able to back the kickstarter and expansion so I’ll eventually get to play irl (I guess the expansion is “cult of the new” but I would have def just bought the base game if it was offered)
    And just got at the gates of loyang, (real old one) haven’t played yet. But very excited to play it.
