Most of these are two-player games. They asked for games to play with a group.

We’re still playing Boonanza, after many years. Just doesn’t get old.

Uwe Rosenberg. His worker placement games are just so well designed and scratch an itch not many other games scratch.

Terraforming Mars is probably also my no. 1 pick.

But Frosthaven is a close second. It just has it all: puzzly gameplay, tight mechanics, unlockable content, entertaining story elements, crafting and building, character progression. The thing is, I feel like for a game to fill the “perfect game” criteria for me, I have to be able to always play it with any group. Frosthaven just isn’t that kind of game, because it’s a campaign.

Terraforming Mars on the other hand, as long as your group is 5 people or smaller, you can always play it.

Well, it’s refined to my taste, but yeah. And it’s not that I started building my collection 30 years ago XD The ‘one game a year’ thing is going on for 5 years or so. There was a period I bought and was given many games a year.

I’ll do a first time ever collection post on social media per your request when I get home. Should be fun :D

I’m a specialist. I played a decent amount of different games, enough to know what I like. My collection is small, around 30 games, ranging from Boonanza to Frosthaven. I have a game for every occasion and I really like them ALL. I buy a new game every year or so and every couple of years I do a ‘clean up’ and sell a few game that I’ve lost interest in.

I must admit: I keep a few games that I should part with, but I just can’t do it (Catan, Monopoly).
