The theme is fun / funny (2 more)
Vikings are good.
when you are attacked you don't lose much
Good beginning deck builder
This is a good game, but not a great one... it's ok / meh 2 player, but shines with 4, The parts and pieces are ok, we got the deluxe version from KS and it's well made, but I'm glad to have the upgrade.

Great Tile Laying Game, with interesting economic system
I love this game, it's great. Simple elegant. each turn you either buy tile and add them to your city, or you take money to prepare for the next turn. which makes turns relatively quick. but the depth of press your luck and anticipating what others might want is strong. There are plenty of expansions. I have the big box and you can pick and choose which ones you want to use, but each makes the game longer, so prepare yourself for longer games, which sometimes you want, other time is can drag because of it. One expansion allows you to take a tile out of turn if you can pay for it with exact change, we love that one. and there are exchange cards which allows you to convert blue money to orange money and we adore those cards too. This game has the quick feel of Ticket to Ride, with the Tile laying of Carcassone, but also the market system and a reward for paying with the exact right amount, so you have to decide if it's worth over paying for or you can be patient and get it with just the right amount. Also I highly recommend checking out Grenada which is a just a little more depth to it.

A great gateway game for new boardgamers involving Tile Laying and Area Control, building castles can be contentious
I enjoy this one, and there are tons of expansions to go with it if you are looking to up the complexity level. This is the kind of game you can play with kids and also adults that don't play many games. I have the big box and if you add in all the expansions it can double and triple the playing time. but does add some fun rules, and new funky tiles. best to pick and choose a few and implement then without all doing all of them. This game is simple, elegant, has quick turns and is really easy to teach. If you are looking to dip your toe in the water of board games, this isn't a bad one to try out. also try ticket to ride and catan.

Different every time
This is one of my all time favourite games and something we play a lot of as a family. I love introducing this game to new people and have yet to find a friend who hasn’t enjoyed it. There are so many expansion packs available so once you’ve mastered the basics, there are so many variations to try.

The beginning of the end
The first and original. First game I've played that I spent hours just designing my sims and house. Then I discovered the macabe aspect of killing sims in different ways. "oh, your pool ladder is gone? Just drown" "oh, there's a rug and plant by the fireplace, better be ready to burn"

Great gateway game
This is a great gateway into the world of boardgaming.
Fun, Easy to learn, infinitely replayable and lots of expansions to change it up.
This is a great way to get into tabletop gaming as there's some strategy involved without being too heavy or serious,
There are many ways to win and this keeps you guessing until final scoring at the end.
A minute to learn but a lifetime to master.

Excellent group game
One of the easiest to learn games, yet the most fun, games I've played. The cards are almost entirely self explanatory, and the huge amount of nods to the different variations and flavours of games (particularly Dungeons and Dragons) is brilliant.
Whether you fight the Level 8 Gazebo, the Level 1 Potted Plant, or the Level 20 Plutonium Dragon, the deals you can make with your friends and enemies can be almost anything - we even house rule that it can be outside of the game (for example, "I will make the next drink if you help me in this fight, and only take 1 treasure"). Its also entirely possible to "help" in the fight, but sabotage the fight so they dont gain levels!
With dozens of expansions, too, the game can grow and grow, and if you like a particular genre, they probably have it as an option (Sci Fi? Space Munchkin. Vampires? Munchkin Bites etc) - and they can all be played in one huge pile, if you want!!

Red Otter (340 KP) rated Terraforming Mars: Prelude in Tabletop Games
Jun 4, 2019
Prelude is my personal favourite of the Terraforming Mars expansions. It adds a few new cards ands corporations, but most importantly it adds a new starting bonus called preludes. You pick 2 from 4 dealt to you. These can be anything from drawing cards to free terraforming to additional starting resources and production and take the often slow beginning and ratchet it up a few notches. It allows for even more molding and kickstarting of your engine and makes the game flow smoother.

The Pro Expansion of Dominion
Adventures adds more complication than most of the Dominion expansions. It focuses heavily on end-game cards, and features some of the most powerful cards in Dominion. It is not what I would recommend for new Dominion players, but is great for experienced players.
It also features the first experience-based cards! You purchase weak, initial cards that rank up every time they are played, and eventually end up being overpowered.
