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

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.

My wife and I have been playing a lot of the 2 player varient of The Crew this month. Works really well with the "Jarvis" third player and makes for a good quick game to real through a few missions of.

Ticket to Ride, kids version. It's pretty good.

This is the only game my nephews didn’t really care for out of all the kids games I’ve played with them. They like Echidna Shuffle, Hammer Time, and Labyrinth the most. It is a good game though!

I'll have to take a look. Thanks for the titles!

Sure thing. They like Pokemon so I got the Pokemon version of Labyrinth and printed and painted some custom tokens for the starter Pokemon! They turned out great https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3a610d8c-d68b-4736-8770-f1c82c445f83.jpeg
