Sweet Lands, a game that was in my mentions during my first playthrough in NovemberBut I had the chance to delve deeper and master it better this month. Definitely a superb game, everything is really well laid out, and it offers a fantastic, very mental puzzle. Several paths in this game, all of which seem promising. A real treat! =)

DeckersA slightly less elaborate Spirit Island, with a hacker theme that really appeals to me, still offers a good puzzle. It's quite fascinating to see all the possibilities our hacker opens up within the network! The game offers excellent replayability with its numerous possible objectives, all packed into a small box with convenient storage.

AntsA well-structured and fairly robust game in which you manage an ant colony to explore a garden, gather resources, and race to deposit pheromones. It's also a symbol collection game. I'll have to play it again to get a clearer idea.

Map MastersWhat a pleasant surprise this game was! It caught my eye at Essen: a really fun family game. A mini deckbuilder where you build your dungeon and explore it to collect treasure and gold, defeat monsters, use portals, and unlock doors. Playable cooperatively or competitively. A nice little box packed with goodies!

StartupsWhat a great little card game, very clever. There's a really interesting bluffing element! The constant tension between bluffing about your true investment intentions and pushing others to co-invest, all in 20 minutes contained in a very small box (Oink Games).
