I buy Terraforming Mars (never tried yet) and CloudAge on sale to give it a luck (the universe look cool).

I tested CloudAge in solo, just to get the flow. Took me 1h to finish the first scenario. Not all mechanisms are given on first scenario which (of course) feels kinda flat, but it's perfect to learn rules slowly. The game is cool, but what seems even better is the tiny campaign that slowly adds mechanisms and card in a story driven way. The campaign is supposed to take 7 plays and I will definitely do it.

Spirit island - branch and claw. Played in 2p mode. No tips or strategies since it was our first game after buying it. Played with no scenarios either and with both the new spirits. It went surprisingly easy.

We are currently still on the road and played more of Castles of Burgundy. We played a four player and a three player round which were a bit grueling because one of the players always took ages to make up their mind on what to do.

We also managed to squeeze in Ark Nova on the weekend. As always, a two player match which was fun but my gf is always very disappointed when she looses. This is not typical for her but I think it has something to do that you can end up having negative points. Sadly, its still my favorite game.

“Dorfromantik” is quite calm and enjoyable as a co-op boardgame. I previously only played it as a video game, but honestly it’s more fun as a boardgame. It’s a bit similar in feel to a co-op version of carcassonne, you place tiles and the board keeps getting bigger the more tiles you place. The pictures on the tiles decide how you get points based on how you place them
