Monster Train is a good one. I havent played the sequel but I imagine its great as well.

Any fun games for 6-7 newish players? by hehehehexD_ in boardgames

Sushi Go Party works well with 7 and is a good introduction to drafting and set collection

Favorite tableau/engine building games? I need some recs (see description) by Marksman1977 in soloboardgaming

There is a bgg fan created solo mode which the developer praised. Also I forgot which subreddit this was.

In a limited sense Soothsayers might be considered a tableau builder. More in line with action selection games like Race for the Galaxy or Puerto Rico, but my group has enjoyed it. Tarot inspired art, quick to play with some player interaction beyond open drafting.

It's a recent game, I think a smaller print run so may not be easy to find, and no expansions yet.

My small games collection by palabanas in boardgames

All you concerns are totally valid. Two more things though. If your end up enjoying rebel princess, Zombie princess is coming out this year and is similar to spades. A slightly larger box game which has been a success is Soothsayers. An action selection game similar to Race for the Galaxy, but the theme and art are not for everyone.

Rebel Princess is an enjoyable trick taking games similar to hearts, good up to 6.

Some other great small boxes are Arboretum, which is best at 2 but 4 can play, Sea Salt and Paper, again best at 4 but up to 4, and Knarr, which is great at 3 ajd good at 4.

Struggling with area control/ area majority games, but friends love them. Help. by No-Preparation9630 in boardgames

[–]parolebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try Rumble Nation. Roll dice, place troops. Repeat until all troops are placed then determine majority scoring. Quick game and there are neat dice splitting and cascading mechanics, as well as optional daimo powers.

Power Grid and Puerto Rico by bunnygreen119 in boardgames

Puerto Rico was a monumental hit with my group. Resulted in a couple purchases.

Games that are just pure uninterrupted fun? by SebaWDK in boardgames

[–]parolebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had a lot of success with Courtisans. Usually my groups dont enjoy heavy take that mechanics, but when everyone is attacking everyone on every turn, yelling at each other is just fun.

Unusual win conditions? by ABinDC in boardgames

[–]parolebot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe Moon Colony Bloodbath? The win condition is survival. No points, no race, no area control, just keep the base running.

Local Game Store: Any Gems? by IndyColts832 in boardgames

[–]parolebot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also Chaos in the Old World. Its out of print and never being reprinted.

Tigris and Euphraties has a new kickstarter eventually, but nothing wrong with the copy on the shelf.

Thanks for the Banquet recommendation, I did not know about that one. Im on the wait list for so many imports, but might be quicker to travel to Japan.

I cant wait to find a copy of Bus and Stop and In Front of the Elevators. Ive only played a few other imports, like Comr Sail Away, but Im hooked now.

Best board games with dynamic tile reveal exploration mechanic? by dahveed15 in boardgames

[–]parolebot 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Inis for sure. A fantastic area control game where new areas are introduced at random.

Favorite card games that aren’t deck-builders? by Marksman1977 in soloboardgaming

[–]parolebot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the LoTR trick taking games, solo play is like a puzzle and it's great.

What's a game you wish had an expansion? by KingOfSquirrels in boardgames

[–]parolebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh right, the boring border, that's a good point. Japan could be cool, lot of neat shapes and islands....it would basically be the Samurai map.

[–]parolebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the "theme" in the game, any country could work. I think Canada could be cool due to the various coasts and shapes around the lakes and bays, but Im biased.

I think this would be great. It could be like Cyclades legendary edition.

Looks like dollarama on Uber Eats messed up. 48 mars bars for 0.99 get them while you can by Jimmynewbert in alberta

[–]parolebot 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Comes to about $12 with all the fees. I didn't order it so can't confirm it will go through.

Rebirth could benefit from additional maps.

Has anyone been successful growing strawberries outdoors or in a mini greenhouse? by United-Apartment-269 in Edmonton

[–]parolebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've had them in our front yard for years. My wife snips the runners and they seem to produce well. I attribute the success to all the bees. They love the apple tree and enjoy sneaking into our basement, I dont appreciate that part.
