Crazy to see Dorfromantik here. I played it on steam as a computer game, like 1 year ago, for a bit.
However, it was so … cozy … that I got bored while playing it and returned it. That’s not to say, if you like cozy games, this one is chill.
Anybody play any of these games?
I’ve been playing Challengers a ton on BGA. There is a lot more to it than it may seem at first and it’s a very fun game.
Yesterday I was mentioning Azul as an example of a game that’s very easy to teach and a lot of fun when played casually but at the same has great depth at high level play. I think Challengers falls into this space too. The award is well deserved IMO.
The Decision Space podcast has just covered the game if you’d like some more in-depth discussion. They rated it very high too.
Edit: I totally missed that Sea Salt & Paper got a recommendation too! It’s one of my absolute favorite small deck games, very addictive! And I’d highly recommend Next Station: London too if you enjoy flip & writes. It has quickly become one of our comfort games.
I’ve played challengers several times now and absolutely love it. My friends always ask to play it when I host a game night. I just don’t like the art style that much, but the gameplay is great.
Spiel des Jahres are without a doubt the most important boardgaming awards. They have a GIGANTIC impact in game sales. Huge.
I wish they had an actual “advanced” category, with heavier games. Their advanced cateogory is honestly a joke.
I think it even took them a while to introduce the „Kennerspiel“ category. Maybe we need something like an Expert category.
Yep, they were introduced in
