Hi everyone, I thought I'd say hi in this new community as a new moderator. I'm Foon (she/her), and I love table top games. My partner and I have been gaming a lot in the past 5 years or so, and we have a bunch of friends that turned into boardgamers too, and boardgamers that we turned into friends. So on average we get almost a game a day in.

I'm excited to discuss all things tabletop gaming with you all. Some of my favourite games are Gloomhaven/Frosthaven, Spirit Island, Aeon's End, Terraforming Mars.

What are y'all's favourite games?

Ooh War of the Ring is an amazing game. I've only played it twice, but really enjoyed it. It's done so well thematically and it really felt like we were living a story indeed. One of those games, I was playing the Free People, and was getting absolutely slaughtered by the Shadow Armies... But I had the card that let Aragorn bring the armies of the dead, and managed to get everything in order to wipe out a huge number of enemies. My opponent being as new to the game as I was had no idea this card existed, so the look of surprise was priceless!

Yes, I like that you could think of each game as a "potential alternative retelling" of the story. And if you happen to enjoy RPGs, there is one by one the authors of WoR, which is called "The One Ring". The 2nd ed. Came out a couple of years ago and it's a great game, with gorgeous art and great thematic rules (e.g. for when you are despairing, overburdened by the Shadow). I highly recommend it, you can also play it solo or coop with an expansion by the author of Ironsworn.
