January recap
Time for the January recap! True to our promise of trying to shrink our shelf of shame, we have played 17 new to us games this month 💪 - well, some are we-already-played-somewhere-but-now-in-our-collection plays. This also meant lots of rules learning and slow first games, so our numbers aren’t that high, but we had fun for sure! 😁 It helps that I absolutely love reading rulebooks, and finding out how games work is a magical thing in board gaming for me. 😅
We highlight some games that made the biggest positive impressions (click the hashtags if you missed the corresponding posts!)
🧠 Mind MGMT
This logical deduction game seems to be the deduction game above all. It’s just so well made and su much fun! And the fact that it can be played competitively, cooperatively or solo just really elevates it even further!

⛰️ Oros
This is now one of our most unique games in the collection. The spatial aspect of moving landmasses and combining them is fascinating! 🤩

❄️ Endless Winter
It took some time to finally give this a real try but it became a hit. I can’t wait to get it again to the table and try out the different expansions! 🙃

🕍 The Red Cathedral
Another instant classic. As we love rondels, the rondel implementation of the resource gathering here is just phenomenal. 🥳

🏣 Yokohama Roll & Write
Our newest and shiniest roll & write from Japan! It has some unique ideas that we love and they make it a real blast to play!

🌕 Skymines
Perhaps our most complex Pfister title? I do prefer Maracaibo from him I think but this is definitely a great one.

🏛️ Dominations
A long and abstract civ game, but the spatial thinking required for both resource gathering and building of the tech-tree makes it really engaging.

🔮 Hoki
It’s great having a fun game that you can grab, knock out a few games in a couple of minutes and pack away, and Hoki offers just that.
