I did this last year for the first time and ended up with a lovely two-player game that my wife and I have brought with us on every vacation we've taken for the last year. Thanks SantaGoon! Gift Preferences: I am predominantly a dude who plays board games. I haven't been into CCGs or RPGs in a long time because I unfortunately don't have a consistent group to play with. For board games, the wheelhouse has been games that scale from 2-4 (or 4-6), as my wife and I typically play against each other or with other couples. We've enjoyed a wide variety of games ranging from simple co-op games like Forbidden Desert to engine-builders like Wingspan and Terraforming Mars to bluffing games like Skull and Secret Hitler to party/press-your-luck games like Camel Up. I absolutely loved Gloomhaven and think it's the best board game I've ever played...but the rest of my group thought it was tedious and overly complex. So as much as I'd love to bring Arkham Horror or Mansions of Madness to the table, it'd probably bounce off. The biggest hit that I've brought to a game night was Galaxy Trucker. Goddamn that's a great game. I'm definitely down to try games with unique and interesting mechanics. We've never done any type of dexterity-based game, so something like Flick 'Em Up would be cool, I think? Here's my BGG collection which should be up to date. General Location: Michigan Solemn Vow: No grinching will happen here. I am also happy to buy my Santee a slightly more expensive gift if I feel it will meet their needs better than something low-budget.

You’re welcome! I don’t know anything about Infinity or War Games in general, so I just picked dudes who looked badass and bought them.

My holiday cheer arrived earlier this week but I finally had a chance to sit down and unbox! I’ve played a lot of Splendor on Steam, so I’m stoked to have a physical copy that I can bring as a palate cleanser on game night. I dig a game that seems simple, but can get surprisingly cut throat. Thanks Santa Goon!

I'm also in awe at the size of that lad, the copies they have at my walmart are like the size of a hardcover book. It is an unnecessarily large box for sure! The whole game fits easily in a box the size of like, Skull.

Holy poo poo, that’s wild. Isn’t it like, out of print, and was over $100 on kickstarter?
