Sky 5

Similar to Flip 7 but a MUCH MORE FRIENDLY version! The game designers achieved a game that aligns with their values the most. When one person gets too greedy, the system is designed to spread the wealth. When one person has the resources they need, they must gift their excess to those with less. Players can’t harm each other; they can only enrich each other. But we like to classify this as optimistic push-your-luck.

Mists Over Carcassonne (co-op)

Finally! A co-op version of Carcassonne! From a review: The game also plays very fast. There often are few realistic choices for tile placements, so games, especially at Levels 1 and 2, can take only minutes in some cases. So if you lose, there is a strong desire to try it again; and if you win, you may want to push your luck and try for a second win.

Defenders of the Dictionary

I pre-ordered this … due April 2027.

Coop Game – can play as a one time one shot game (as many times as you wish) or as a 17 game campaign where players can come and go as part of the team (does not need the same number of players each time). It is like an adventure version of Scrabble… but with limited communication about what tiles you have (similar to “The Crew”)

Fire Tower

With Expansions (most are simple and good – leaving out the complicated not so good ones)!

=> Len’s 1 page Rule Summary (v5) includes a 2nd page in story form! PLUS more notes at the end of this page

Note: 2 players? Use the variant of 2 side by side towers for each player, but only 1 bucket & hand of cards!

Note: when placing a fire gem on the board, it must be orthogonally adjacent to a fire gem (or eternal fire in the center). This means it must be edge to edge next to a fire gem already on the board (ie, diagonally is NOT adjacent for placing fire gems). However, the game is interesting because the purple firebreak tokens are the opposite and must NOT be placed edge to edge next to another purple firebreak tokens (but diagonal is fine).
