Luddite

I have the first map and ordered the full game. It is a roll and write game that can be played coop, competitive or solo. It also can be played as a legacy game. It ties together with a graphic novel(s). It employs computer logic and hacking. And you can play it for free while you wait for the final printed game to be delivered at Christmas NEXT YEAR :)

DorfRomantik

Many reviews refer to this game as a cooperative Carcassonne style game. This is a chill game that you can’t “lose”. A very relaxing game that still can stimulate your brain but with simple rules. Easy to play (but Game Night video did have a bunch of times where they didn’t follow the rules). Might be seen as a solo game that can be played with others, but the social aspect can be extremely fun too. Can play a game in 15-20 minutes and you will want to play two or three games in a row (per Board Game Happy review video).

PLUS it is a Legacy Style game with boxes to open as you achieve various goals.

Books of Time

Wow … a game that let’s you make your own book in a 2 ring binder! Best played with 2 or 3 players … and it is tough to meet the end game goals. A puzzly kind of game trying to decide what to do when. This game was created by the same person who created Mandala Stones. Game takes longer the more players. GREAT for Solo play! Probably plays too long with 4 players.

Note: it takes a LOT of table space!

NOTE: Whoever is quickest at finishing their turn should be the first player! (other players can think about the Chronicles book pages while the first player actually is taking their actions).
