My game of the year is Kinfire Delve Callousā Lab. Or Scornās Stockade. And, though technically coming out in 2023 I didnāt play it until 2024, Vaingloryās Grotto.
Hard co-op dice/card games that reward you just enough to keep you coming back.
I just wish there was some way to charge your lanterns more easily even if they were then somewhat nerfed.
I also played a ton of River Valley Glassworks. Itās simple but offers fun decisions. The expansions that came with Kickstarter actually dilute the fun, imo. Just donāt play it with someone with AP.
Another favorite was Harmonies. Great components and tricky, 3d puzzles to solve make for enjoyable gameplay without too much effort. The Spirit cardsā¦. expansion?ā¦ addedā¦ not a lot to the game and some were clearly better than others. I only played with them once.
River of Gold was also a game I loved this year. But my game group didnāt feel it. I had a hard time convincing them play again so I fear I wonāt have further opportunities to play it.ā¹ļø
I donāt have pictures but Flip 7, Cabanga, and Moonrollers also saw many repeat plays. And, despite myself, Thatās Not a Hat. I enjoyed TNAH but man my short-term memory isā¦ what was I saying?
