You have nothing to be embarrassed about. My top three (thanks in large part to BGA): 3. Captain Flip - 33 plays 2. The Castles of Burgundy - 47 plays 1. Space Base - 142 plays I just discovered Space Base this year and got a little obsessed.
@BoxedMeeples 10 сағат бұрын
Wow Space Base got some plays! Nice! We actually played CoB quite a few times in person and BGA so I'm surprised that didn't feature. - likely poor tracking if the online plays. We just started playing Captain Flip recently, that's fun and fast 😀

My top play this year was Slay the Spire. But then since having my seizure this time last year I wasn't able to drive for 6 months so couldn't get to my gaming clubs. That had a huge effect on my game plays this year.
@BoxedMeeples 21 сағат бұрын
We are yet to play Slay the Spire, but it is one we would to try. It has been a very busy year for us, particularly with our wedding, so our total plays have definitely been less than they might have been Hopefully we can make up for it next year 😀

We adore Captain Flip here! Fun, fast and funny. Two other suggestions from our collection- Shadow Ninjas! Hidden movement for kids! And Loco Momo. Loco Momo came out in Europe in 2020, so you might have played it ages ago. I impressed mine from France after discovering it in 2021 and falling instantly in love with it. But it only just released in North America and here in Canada just a few months ago, so it counts as a 2024 game for us. Honestly, any time I get to talk about Loco Momo I will.

I think I have played Loco Momo a while back didn't realise it was just released stateside. Shadow Ninjas looks great, how was that not on our radar ! Thanks for pointing it out. Looks quite low luck high skill with super simple rules. Do you think it can be played by much younger children?

@ My son was 6.5 years old when we discovered it and he loves it. He and his sister always play the ninjas versus my guard dogs.

Also, the designer is a fellow Brit, and has a KZbin channel. Guest appearance?
