Railroad Ink Challenge
This is a roll the dice and write on your personal map game that can be played by any number of players – just print a map for each player and all players share the same dice roll for each round (excellent for play by video chat such as with Zoom or Google Meet).
There are two different base games – GREEN and YELLOW. Both have exactly the same base game but with different special “expansion” dice (which I have never used yet).

How to Play (Professor Kim):
Trails of Tucana
This has become one of our favorite games! It is easy to learn and quick to play. I think two of us played the FOURTEEN times in just under 3 hours. It is NOT complex, but there is quite a bit of strategy in the game. The paper maps that come with the game are a smaller size, but you can print the same map larger yourself (and put it in a sheet protector … then use dry erase markers).

Splendor
Biblios
Game Boy Geek (who is quite good at explaining and rating games) calls Biblios one of his all time favorites … and it only takes about 20 minutes to play the game (and not too much set up time either).

Ticket To Ride London (15min game)
This is a great “filler” game (just like Popcorn) as a game can take as little as 10 minutes!
