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.

@grannyweatherwax @dpunked Same here! I’ve been soloing Spirit Island with Branch and Claw. I’m using everything except scenarios. I had avoided the game for a long time given how much I visually disliked the game. Big mistake on my end. I should know better. I’ve yet to see or play an Uwe Rosenberg that looked the least big attractive (my opinion, obviously) but I’ve liked all of them.
“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
I have been playing the Steam game for some hours. It got a bit stale after a while but I still enjoyed it. It is interesting that you find the boardgame better than the original, will have to have a look into it :)
I had the same experience with the steam game honestly haha, but yea if you stumble across it on sale or get a chance to try it I can recommend it
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.
