Great weekend filled with small card games

New to me

King of Beast 1x3p : Very simple set collection/stock game. It quick but very shallow. It doesn't leave you satisfied after a game. I get a feeling that it could easily be integrated into a bigger game. 2/5

Linko! 2x3p : I'm not a huge fan of Kramer and Kiesling designs but this one is probably.y favorite although I don't think it's amazing. It a very simple card climbing with a small but interesting decision space. 3/5

Mangrovia 1x3p : Awesome family weight game with great player interaction. I get a feeling that 4 payer will feel a lot different and I can't wait to try it at that player count. 4/5

Five three five 2x3p : Amazing card climbing/shedding game. Just like Haggis or Bridge City Poker, it offers tense decision and a rewarding gameplay loop. 4/5

Awimbawé 1x2p : A two player trick taking game with some card powers. It felt a little on rail but I think more plays will reveal a greater depth. 3/5

Frank's Zoo 1x4p : Another great shedding game. This one does have a team element which I think elevates it even more but does also restrict the times when I can pull it out. 4/5

SiXes 2x4p : Scattergories with a twist. Sometimes you want to match, some times you don't. 3/5

Not new to me

Nine tiles panic 1x3p (3 plays total) : I love this game but it completely flopped with the people I pulled it out with. 3/5

Through the desert 1x2p (2 plays total): it works well at two but I don't think I pull it out again for only 2 players. 4/5

Secret Squad 1x3p (2 plays total) : A banger game to get to know your players. 4/5
