    I just recently found Qawale. I’ve been having a blast with my best friend playing it and we’re both getting better at it. Every game now comes down to the wire and it’s so much fun win or lose.

      Interesting, never heard of that one before. I tend to skew toward larger euros though! For 2P my go to is beer and bread or patchwork

    I just got Unsettled in the mail and I’m freaking out! It’s so damn good and I’ve only ever played it in TTS. Currently playing Wenora task A.

    Played Ark Nova with the Marine Worlds expansion last night, favorite part is the asymmetric action cards.

    Played some Apiary with friends a few days ago, 3rd play and finding the crazy combos is tons of fun, though it does seem like a classically imbalanced Stonemeier game.

    Twilight struggle with a friend of mine. There’s a bit of a learning curve,but both of us were new to the game. We’ve played our 30th or 40th game together. we’ve not looked at starts (so don’t know the competitive meta) but he has about a 60% win rate.

    Very fun, about 2-4 hours long and very multifaceted. There’s not just 1 way to win, so you need to try not to lose multiple ways, and there’s a lot of references to real History during the cold war
