Mycelia, A Bunch of Fun Guys, Machi Koro 2, Escape from the Dark Sector, Downforce, and Monster Hunter are the newest games I have played.
I made a post about Monster Hunter last week. It was a lot of fun.
Mycelia we played 4 players and it was great, beautiful art on the cards. The player who triggered the end of the game ended up not winning and he was a bit salty about that, but he was texting the entire time we were leading the game, so I did not feel bad. It is a play again game for sure, I will sleeve the cards before next time so we can shuffle better. It is a deck building game and quite often we would have all high value or all low value cards.
A Bunch of Fun Guys was played 2 player and the tie breaker marker was overpowered and caused me to lose the game. I would like to play again at 3 or 4 players. It is a bidding game where you bid for mushrooms that you will use to complete recipes. If more than one player bids the same number whomever has the tie breaker or is closest to it wins.
Machi Koro 2 is very much the same as the original, but you have a communal deck for the win condition cards.
Downforce is a race car betting game, you use cards to determine which car(s) move how much.
Escape from the Dark Sector is the only one of the bunch that I did not really like. It may have been because I wanted to play a different game that night, or I just did not like it. There is a fantasy version I would like to try though.
