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.

Little Prince – Make Me A Planet

This game ties in quite well with the famous book (references at the bottom)! One of the videos said that they got the game first and then went and bought the book! We love the book, so I jumped at the chance to get a used copy of the game at I’m Board! Each player constructs a planet on a 4×4 grid so several of the videos compared it to Kingdomino (each player constructs a 5×5 land area)

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).
