A great month of fun, with some great discoveries! The school break helped =)

CRUSHS

Thunder Road Vendetta, A super fun and quite immersive racing and destruction game! Not a lot of control, but very fun, beautiful production that offers great visuals. We had a lot of fun hitting each other :)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The cooperative trick-taking game, I hesitated to get it, fear of duplication with my 2 games of The Crew, well no, this game offers a completely different experience, specific to this game with 18 missions. There is a story in this game, that even if we all know it, we like to reread it. And the twist of the character selection that defines our objectives is very well done! On the other hand, we are stuck on mission 5 with two players. Very beautiful production!

Fromage, A pleasant surprise! Super fun, nice mechanics with this Lazy Susan, we all play at the same time, fast and with good choices! Wow! My complete analysis here.

THE MENTIONS

River of Gold, Another very nice discovery this month, a magnificent gold-plated game, and quite quick to play with a nice depth. To be replayed to give a better opinion because our game was very quick, even too quick 🙂

Azul Duel, this version is really nice, more of a puzzle and very pretty! My favorite of the series I think. On the other hand, poor production choice for the player boards :/

Living Forest Duel, really a beautiful reimplementation of its big brother in 2-player mode. Extremely well designed, the different paths to victory are so subtly intertwined that you shouldn't neglect any of them for too long. I like the common track, where some cards, once revealed, go onto the personal tracks! Well thought out. This is going to be a purchase!
