Lots of games hit the table this year. \u00a0They were a great mixture of some old and some new games. \u00a0We polled some of our consistent attendees to our game night at Right Brain Brewery. \u00a0This is their favorite games that they played in 2015.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Caroline – \u00a0Ticket To Ride<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"9628361d-9991-4ff1-819e-c8d64e59d00b\"<\/p>\n

“Simple gameplay but the strategic play has great potential.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Greg – Carcassone<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"44f72baf-1f2f-4a4a-b038-3fb9af16fcd2\"<\/p>\n

I don’t think he has ever turned down a game of this. \u00a0He was excited enough about the game \u00a0to help me make the giant version we play in the summer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kalin – \u00a0Machi Koro<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2015-01-08_Machi_Koro_1\"<\/p>\n

“I liked the buildings and the different paths to victory. \u00a0i also like the multiplayer aspect of @#$%ing over people and the dynamic it creates in the game.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kenz – \u00a0New York 1901<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"8e7501be-28ad-48fd-9af7-dba776415182\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“It’s an easy game that can be as deep as you want to make it. \u00a0I would love an expansion on it!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jessica – Pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"46d6a656-9613-462a-b53b-f9b95339ddb0\"<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough Jessica got hooked on Pandemic Legacy that she went out and bought the original Pandemic. \u00a0She has been actively teaching everyone she knows how to play this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Craig – Red7<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"pic2247258\"<\/p>\n

Craig is our wild card player. \u00a0You never know what to expect when you step into the proverbial ring with this guy. \u00a0Perfect little card game for someone like that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eric – Machi Koro<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2MK\"<\/p>\n

Obviously this is a group favorite. \u00a0I’m not surprised to see its popularity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kate – Viticulture<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"841a3a51-7c76-4247-a75c-359f409c252c\"<\/p>\n

I thought Kate this game during one of game nights with some regular gamers. \u00a0I’m worried when I teach this game as its one of my favorites but see latched on and played quite well for her first game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mike – Dead of Winter<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"9e13c519-7aba-4cb3-854d-06599d0d79e8\"<\/p>\n

This game draws in most and Mike was no exception.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aaron – Viticulture<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"73929461-2028-42e4-90d2-7dc10f2d9f88\"<\/p>\n

We spent a lot of hours playing Viticulture and the expansion at one of our local wineries. \u00a0Every game we “uncorked” a new module from the expansion. \u00a0Paired with some great conversations and great wine this game is a win.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Megan – Pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"708d1d06-bdff-439d-aebe-66b2ca9456a2\"<\/p>\n

All I can say to Megan is I feel Pandemic Legacy in your future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
