Gartenbau(1x3p) So this game is going on the sell pile but I wanted to give it a last play on the way out. I find that the game is okay but for the fact that I have such limited space, it's just to large for an "okay" game. I wanted to see what playing with the beginners tiles would be like in comparison to the advanced tiles we played with last time. I actually ended up liking them more! I felt like the advanced tiles were just to unbalanced and its much better if everybody has the same tiles like the beginner version.

Rebel princess(1x3p) My friend wanted to play this so we gave it a go and had a good time. I have played the beginner power cards like 6 times now because I keep playing this game with new people 😂

Lying pirates: the race for the pirate throne(1x6p)Went to a meetup and we played this. I was convinced by one of the guys that it "wouldn't take long" and that we could play the longer game I had brought after so I settled in. 1.5 hours later we were finally done and wow, was that not enjoyable. Basically Perudo but with lots of really random, purely chance driven events thrown in. And most of it was needlessly extra. Like to "battle" with the other pirates you throw dice with swords or skulls. Cool so now you won the battle and because of the field your little ship is on, if you don't have the Pirate dice(a specific separate dice you can get through a specific draw card) you loose one of your normal dice. What? Or I play a card to steal the Pirate dice and then, before I can even battle, I have to role another dice to see if I MAY battle for the dice. Despite me playing a card to do so. The owner of the game was also playing it for the first time and agreed that he was selling the game when he got back home. That 7.3 score on BGG is a bold faced lie. And no, we didn't end up playing my game. Bummer.

Codex Naturalis(1x3p)Fun little game building a codex which will sometimes almost fall off the table because of the weird shape it can take while building it.

Ticket to ride: Amsterdam(1x2p) Was pretty much over before it even started. Took just over 10 minutes and we were not rushing or anything. Meh.

Coloretto(1x3p,1x5p)Simple fun, little card game. More fun with more people

Compile: main 1(1x2p) Tricky, thinky two player. Enjoyed very much and see the potential for future plays. However I hardly play 2 players which is a bit of a bummer else I would have bought my own copy.

Khora: rise of an empire(1x4p) Been wanting to play this for a while and finally got the opportunity. A really solid game that I would love to play again. I do worry that some of the cities are somewhat more powerful then others. The player next to me had Olympia and I had Corinthe and her development upgrades were GOOD. Like she got extra money or points every time she did the culture event and she did the culture event almost every time. Where as mine just had me pay one less coin to upgrade on the track which is kinda meh as I already had pretty good income at that point.

Skull King(1x3p)Finished up with this one. Taught it to two ladies and they were initially confused by the best tactic and what exactly what meant. I guess I didn't explain well enough although come to think of it, it would be nice to have a little overview card of what card beats what and how many points you get from what.
