I received Tattoo Brawl. This game has really nice components. The player boards are recessed where you would put your ink tokens, client card, etc.

ISS Vanguard is another mega-game (super game? AAA game?) from Awaken Realms, a co-op where each player leads one of several teams (engineering, security, etc.) on an interstellar ship exploring some 25 planets

Woohoo I just received Bloodborne, in two medium-size boxes

This game seems relatively simple but fun. It's co-op Descent-like

One of the neat things in this game is that there's an enemy action deck that is discarded face-up. The number of each card is known. Therefore, you can predict what is more likely to happen, or even what can no longer possibly happen. For example, there is only one Ability card in the deck. If it's in the discard pile, an enemy you're fighting cannot possibly use its ability until the enemy action deck is reshuffled.

This helps you guess what you should do in a variable way, because you have to commit to your action before finding out what the enemy does each combat round.

Watched a video of Mad King Ludwig being played. This game seems awesome

Each player is building a castle of castle pieces available in the center. So, tableau-building, like Alhambra.

Each player has secret goal cards, certain types of pieces are worth more points. Each round, a different player is the master builder. The master builder arranges the five castle pieces available for the round onto the five sales blocks -- each sales block has a different preprinted price. In other words, the master builder is deciding which piece will be the most expensive, and which will be next-most, and so on. The master builder has to buy last each round, so the tension is, you want to make the pieces you want expensive enough that no one else buys them, but cheap enough for you to buy them, also without giving away what you want. This seems really great

i think in order for it to be great the secret goal cards have to be most of the points

otherwise the MB is doing a very complicated optimization problem merely to receive the least-bad tile which doesn't sound fun and probably takes forever

Well another monkey wrench is that each round, the MB pays the bank for tiles while everyone else pays the MB for tiles

Vijayanagara is a three-player game of medieval empires in India under invasion by the Mongols

It is a spin-off of COIN, using some of COIN's rules, but not being about an insurgency

I guess they didn't want to figure out how to ship a little book with a big tube

But they say it's app-driven and that you can't play it without the app. So no way

would it interest you if it had a way to play without the app but it was kind of a pain in the ass such that you would very likely only ever play it with the app anyway?

this is sorta like how ultimate one-night werewolf is for me
