We played Next Station: London for the first time, flip & write with a neat spatial puzzle. Does pretty much everything right: simple rules, interesting decisions and scoring and it's fun to pass the color pencils around. Always neat when you realize that a bunch of games you like are by the same designer: Next Station, The Guild of Merchant Explorers and Aquamarine in this case.

Also played Photosynthesis (aka murdertree). Evergreen finds more table time these days but they are very different games and I like them both for what they are. Photosynthesis is confrontational abstract, Evergreen is chill drafting followed by some MP solitaire. Kinda wish I could get a version of Photosynthesis with Evergreen-style components.

Online I've been liking Challengers (BGA) a lot, also got some Newton and Mottainai games going on (Yucata).
