Do you like Patchwork? Have you seen its 10th Anni Do you like Patchwork? Have you seen its 10th Anniversary Edition?Patchwork is one of the best two-player games ever made. Its elegant and quick gameplay makes it an excellent lightweight game for both casual and experienced gamers. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Patchwork’s release. To celebrate the occasion, Lookout Games has released an anniversary edition of the game. The main change in this edition is including the Automa deck for solo play. The solo rules are simple and easy to follow. Before starting the game, you must select a difficulty level. You always take the first turn, and when it’s Automa’s turn, you reveal a card from its deck. Each card indicates how many buttons Automa can spend to purchase a tile and which tiles it prioritizes. The Automa design is perfect and with games lasting just 20 to 30 minutes, it makes Patchwork a great option for quick solo sessions. The rules are straightforward and easy to learn, and managing the AI is effortless. Most of your time will be spent thinking and strategizing your moves, with minimal effort needed to handle the AI.If you’re expecting a deluxe or premium edition of Patchwork, you might be disappointed. Beyond updated artwork, minor component changes, and the addition of the solo mode, the core game remains unchanged. That said, the solo mode is an excellent addition for players who don’t always have a partner to play with. If you already own Patchwork and have no interest in solo play, there’s little reason to purchase this edition. However, if you’re new to the game or are looking for a version with solo capabilities, this is the edition to get.What are your thoughts? Would you play Patchwork solo?Thanks to @asmodee_canada for sending us a review copy of this game.
Have you played a trick-taking game before?The F Have you played a trick-taking game before?The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game is a cooperative trick-taking game with a Lord of the Rings theme. The campaign includes 18 chapters, where you gradually learn the rules. In each chapter, everyone picks a character with a specific objective. To win, all objectives must be achieved before the game ends. After finishing the campaign, you can reset and replay or play the complete version outlined in the rulebook.We’ve been having a lot of fun with this game, and it’s quickly become one of our favorites. The gameplay is enjoyable, the artwork is fantastic, and the components are high-quality. If you’re not a fan of trick-taking games, this might not be for you. However, if you enjoy them, you’ll likely have a blast. And if you love The Lord of the Rings, you’ll appreciate the thematic connections!Our review of this game is available on the website (link in bio).What are your thoughts? Does this game pique your interest? Thanks to @officedoggames for sending us a review copy of this game.
What’s your favorite filler game? Have you tried What’s your favorite filler game? Have you tried Fairy Ring?We've been having a great time with this charming game! The rules are simple and easy to pick up. Fairy Ring is played over two rounds, each with its own deck of cards. At the start of each round, players are dealt 7 cards. Then all players play one card into their tableau and pass the remaining cards to the player on their left.Each card represents one of the 6 types of mushrooms in the game and has a movement value. When a card is played, the active player moves their fairy around the table. Landing on their own mushrooms earns them mana (every 20 mana equals 1 victory point). Landing on another player's mushrooms gives that player mana while the active player triggers the effect of the same type of mushroom in their own tableau if they have it.Players can place mushrooms horizontally to trap more fairies or stack mushrooms of the same type to generate more mana. In addition to mushroom scoring, there are three objectives in each game, each worth 1 point when achieved. The game continues until all players have placed 12 cards in their tableau.As you can see, the game is straightforward and can be taught in minutes. The short playtime and engaging gameplay make it a lot of fun. Combine this with the beautiful art and components, and Fairy Ring becomes an excellent gateway filler game.What do you think? Have you had a chance to play it?Thanks to @asmodee_canada for sending us a review copy of this game.
