    Three game recommendations from me:

    Yamataï gets too little of love. It’s a game with a beautiful table presence and with interesting mashup of mechanics that are really on the lighter spectrum.

    Mechanics:

    • Action Drafting
    • Contracts
    • Increase Value of Unchosen Resources
    • Modular Board
    • Network and Route Building

    Architects of the West Kingdom is my favorite game for a long time and even without the Age of Artisans expansion.

    Mechanics:

    • Contracts
    • Open Drafting -Solo / Solitaire Game
    • Variable Player Powers
    • Worker Placement

    Radlands is currently my favorite two-player card game. It plays smoothly, has a vibrant color palette and although I would appreciate the game mat I enjoy the game on the clean table as well. I like the action queue mechanic in the form of ongoing events, back-and-forth dynamics and energy (water) management.

    Mechanics:

    • Action Points
    • Action Queue
    • Hand Management
    • Take That
    • Variable Player Powers
