  • Arkham Horror 3rd Edition. I was quite apprehensive since I hated 1st edition, but my friend is a huge Lovecraft Mythos fan so it hit the table. When I saw how different it was, I was much less nervous, and I had a good time. We played Focusing wrong for a bit before correcting. We ended up losing, but had a pretty good time. I’d play it again.

    Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate. Played with just two people after Arkham. We are more experienced than the other players so we tried the thematic map. Whew, boy can that thing screw you over. Our first game was over in about 3 turns because my spirit couldn’t grow to the board all the invaders were in. Attempt two, I replaced one of the growth powers and was able to respond to the early explores this time. My board had a couple explorers at the end of the game as my teammate scrambled to survive. I wish I could help more, but it was enough. I think thematic map is probably better with more spirits.












  • Bullet (♥️ or ⭐) are fun board game adaptations of the Shmup video game genre. It plays kind of like Bejeweled or Tetris attach where each player fights to stay alive in a fast paced struggle for survival. In solo (or multiplayer), every heroine has a boss side you (and friends) can fight with unique powers and styles of fighting. Bosses have scaling values so you can play solo fairly. The boss mode also allows for more thinking, as it disabled the real time timer of multiplayer.


  • Don’t do it a lot, but there are games I would suggest.

    BattleCON: My favorite board game, period. You know how everyone says fighting games are just strategy games with quick inputs? BattleCON is the way to play the mind/tactics of a fighting game without the muscle training.

    Spirit Island: Just a solid coop game, defend the island from the invaders by developing a hand of powers to either scare them away or destroy them. Big setup time though, so not exactly a pick up and play game.

    Jaipur: My friend has this and I’ve loved it every time. It’s an awesome set making game with camels.

    Other games include Magic: The Gathering, Pixel Tactics, and Bullet. Everyone knows MtG and I didn’t want to just talk about 3 L99 games in one post lol.
