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.
