Lot of dice focused games recently.

Final Titan - print and play version of an upcoming dice auto battler by Richard Garfield. I really enjoyed it. Felt like King of Tokyo but with each of the characters having vastly different abilities. Has a comparatively smaller but more interesting decision space.

Space Base - Craps in Spaaaaaaaace! Snappy and keeps everyone engaged even when it's not their turn. Always a crowd pleaser.

Through the Desert - Knizia classic multiplayer Go-like area control game.

Tyrants of the Underdark - solid deck building area control game. Still hasn't gone stale despite playing it for years due to the brilliant variable market deck gimmick where you smash two out of six half decks together to form a different market deck each game

Space Base's double arrows are so ridiculously OP.

Yeah think I've parlayed enough of them one time to chain from 9-12 into the "I win" card and managed to fire it off. Rarely happens but pretty cool when it does!

Wow, interesting! I've never seen anyone win with the "You win" card before...
