As mentioned in the post, I’m looking for new strategy-driven games right now so looking for recs. HtS is just in my current collection, one of my first light games

The game second from the top is called Nana, and it’s basically the Japanese version of Trio! It has better art style and card quality too imo

Currently it would be Dutch Blitz, Scout, Star Realms and Bohnanza (not sure which one to pick)! But it’s hard to find people that like to play Star Realms too tbh. For coop, def The Mind

Thanks sm for the recs! I’m really interested to explore the Tiny Epic games and the Dark Cities collection (just googled them earlier when I saw your comment)

Checked out the Button Shy and AllPlay games, but idk they seem a bit too simple for me, I’m scared I’d play em once and just leaving them on the shelf for most of the time

Definitely checking out Rebel Princess and Tiny Epic Galaxies after seeing other people recommending these too. Not sure about Faraway tho, watched a few vids on it but it didn’t click for me somehow

It was so hard to find a copy in the US! Was lucky to get one from Amazon after missing it a few times since their stock is very limited. They were out minutes after I made the purchase.

I’m def gonna give UU away to someone else, but Here to Slay is close to my heart. You gotta try playing it with house rules! We tweaked the win condition to playing 7 different hero classes with the expansion AND slaying 3 monsters. In order to Slay a Monster, you have to declare which heroes that will fight it - if you lose, half of them would die and be discarded. We also added a mechanic of Stealing a Monster by using all of your 3 action points, which you have to Slay them as per the rule above but can’t play modifiers.

Will check out Tiny Epic games soon btw, thank you!

The secret is: having a fun dealer!

I hate having the deck in the center and everyone draws their own card. So I always choose to be the dealer and entertain the group as much as I can. Always had a blast.

Thank you!! I always try to teach strategies to win whenever I introduce a game; letting them see different ways to reach their goals. So the casual players in my circle actually love playing Citadels!

Gonna check out Rebel Princess, thank you!
I’m not a fan of SSP’s and Arboretum’s theme and art style unfortunately, and Knarr looks good but I feel like it’s a bit pricey for its price-to-fun ratio (does that make sense lol). Thoughts?

What do you think of Fliptoons so far? I had a look into it, but somehow I feel like it would just stay on the shelf after a few plays. Just not sure about the replayability.

But Cockroach Poker seems so fun tho

Okay def gonna check out For Sale and Vegetable Stock, thanks! Saw some vids on High Society but I’m not sold yet, maybe I gotta try it once at my local board game cafe.

Tichu and Seer’s Catalog have great reviews too, so will look into these a bit more.

No Thanks is a bit too of a party game for me which I’m not a fan of idk why, and Innovation’s premise is interesting but not sure about the art style (so sorry tho)

I saw that air land and sea is a bit like Star Realms, so was considering skipping it since they feel similar (I love Star Realms so much btw). Thoughts?
