We've been playing some more Taverns of Tiefenthal. The game has that nice sense of escalation that I like: in the first round it feels like you've barely done anything, maybe you managed to get one or two cheap cards at best. But even these early moves turn out to be impactful and as you approach the end of the game in the final rounds you will be stuffing a bunch of good cards and multiple Nobles (the major scoring cards) on the top of your deck. When I count my points at the end I am always surprised about how much I was able to do.

Great game if you like a unique deckbuilder.

We have also played a few games of Wild Space, also known (to us) as Space Chimp. It's a relatively simple but very pleasant small-box engine builder with fun combo-chaining.

Online I've been playing Challengers, Space Base, Sea Salt & Paper and Next Station: London.
