Tuesday:

Coup - Quick game while waiting for people to arrive, it's pretty good but we've played it so much that it's gotten a bit samey.

ALIEN: Fate of the Nostromo - A game based on the Alien movie, it was cooperative and kinda cool. The issue was we were trying to move everybody to the same space, but people kept drawing a card that sent them to a different place and so we spent like half the time just sitting in the Galley while waiting for the other people to move there. And we should have made more items in the beginning. Pretty cool but I was pretty ready for it to be over because of that one card and we had lost a ton of health in the beginning so we were pretty doomed.

Horrified - A lot of similarities to ALIEN, except it was better imo. Instead of just one monster there were three, with cool objectives in order to defeat them. The map was smaller so you usually didn't have to spend your entire turn just moving. Items were pretty cool and doubled as a form of health. NPC villagers you had to save from the monsters were also pretty cool. Might have to try ALIEN again but this just seems better after playing both for the first time.

Friday:

7 Wonders Architect - Like 7 Wonders but simpler. Was pretty fun, got rid of some complexity that was kinda weird in 7 Wonders, and we had a good time, but normal 7 Wonders was also pretty good.

King's Dilemma - Our second session of this legacy game, where you play one campaign that's like fifteen sessions long and then it's over. It's been pretty fun, voting for things and trying to manipulate the kingdom to match our goals. Our kingdom is doing pretty bad though but it's fine, it's more memorable that way. Good game.

Ticket to Ride - Was pretty fun, we played very non-competitively and just stuck to our own things so most people got everything done. Cool game but it was a little long, although it was the first time for a couple people.
