Just under a month, but still some great parts that deserve to be mentioned!

FAVORITES

Got Five! A very well-made and quite cute deduction game. In this game, you try to deduce the tiles you have by looking at those of other players. There are moments in the game where you manage to eliminate several numbers at once, which is very satisfying! People are asking for more, which is a good sign!


Akropolis Pantheon Absolutely brilliant what they've managed to do with this expansion! Transforming a competitive game into a cooperative one in such an elegant and fun way—bravo! A very good puzzle. A contender for expansion of the year!

The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the FellowshipThis game initially left me wanting more, but the visuals and production quality won me over. I bought it, studied it thoroughly, and played it again. And wow, not only does the theme fit the game incredibly well (it's even impressive), but it's also tense and very enjoyable to play. It plays very well solo as well.

NOTICES

The Druids of EdoraFeld returns with a more classic game, its graphic style debatable, but its simple mechanics (you only roll one die) surprisingly manage to make you think. Very effective!

PyradiceA very enjoyable dice placement game; you have to choose your dice carefully while keeping an eye on what your opponent is trying to do. Quite open-ended, but not very restrictive, and expensive in my opinion for what it offers (if you want to play with 4 players, you need two boxes!).

Recall, The more I play it, the more I appreciate it. Beautiful chaining possibilities, great table presence, excellent depth, and it doesn't drag on. A real treat!

ALL GAMES PLAYED

5 Towers remains a very good card collection game, enjoyed by everyone. seaside, Another good, relaxing collection game that can be played absolutely anywhere with these wooden tokens. EmberheartA very well-made game and a fun game (I'll definitely play it again!). I also tried playing it outdoors. Pock! (who isn't on BGG?), faster than Mölkky but just as fun.
