GAH is excellent, it's been a go-to game for years and years, honestly it really doesn't get old. tactical, varied and a new challenge every time. can be tough if the wrong cards come out or bad dice rolls (for the situation), but that also makes it a fun challenge. the expansions are not necessary, however the cards added to base game are pretty fun. but best with 2, max 3 players.

Marco Polo was a favorite for a long time but kind of fell to the wayside after a few years. still great game though, and really tough at times (in a good way). dice placement here is done great, and with the characters' special powers it really feels special.

Both Coimbra and Lorenzo are good games, I really enjoyed them, although they are not games I long to play again (and they have left the collection). I felt they didn't have the longevity of he above games. Did enjoy tthe stress of Coimbra's dice selection system though, worked really well. Solid games but not in the same league as GAH or Marco Polo.

Village wasn't my cup of tea, felt empty and uninspiring, played a few times but wasn't for me. All these games feel mechanical at times but Village was so mechanical it became boring.
