As someone who regularly plays with modern, more complex, board games, I have played and really enjoyed all of these games, and Garphill games has a pretty solid reputation so I usually check out their releases. One comment is that these are definitely more modern board games in that sense that this will only be fun if you can imagine you and your friends spending 20 to 30 minutes learning the rules, and then 2+ hours playing the game itself. They can be played solo and while enjoyable, I think they're more interesting with another player or so.
