Only played solo so far, but I enjoyed my first exposure to #FrozenFrontier by Andrey Kolupaev and Ivan Lashin from Cosmodrome & @arcanewonders.bsky.social. Great mix of multi use cards with resource mgmt, area control, and top notch art & production. Looking forward to diving deeper!

Building the iconic #NewYorkCity skyscraper in #Flatiron by Shei S. and Isra C. with art by Weberson Santiago from Ludonova. It’s a worker placement engine builder with some nice tension.

I was on the fence about the expansions for #Hanamikoji from #EmperorS4 during their latest #Kickstarter, but ultimately decided to pass. Fast forward to playing consistently on #BGA and falling in love with the expansion tiles. Can’t see playing without them now, so I had to buy them. #BoardGames
