Your favorite games of the year?

[lovinmyboys]

What games were your favorite you played in 2019? I would say ours are:

Codenames Pictures

Chameleon

Cahoots (by gamewright)

Catan (my 7yr old is currently obsessed)

Exploding Kittens 

Dominion prosperity expansion 

In the last few weeks we have been playing lots of Letters to Santa and Dutch Blitz. This year I am thinking of keeping track of the games we play, so I actually know which we played most.

Castles of Burgundy (& the Dice version)

Banagrams

Catan Seafarer's Expansion

Ticket to Ride

7 Wonders & Duel

Carcassone

Kingdom Builders (I also love the app so I can play by myself.)

We have castles of burgundy and kingdom builders and have never played. I’ll put them on the top of the list to learn in 2020.

Castles of Burgundy was very challenging at first to set up, so I watched some videos on youtube to help me figure it out. There are a lot of components. Once we actually played it, it was much easier to play than it seemed.

1901!  This has become the new favorite around here currently.  (Soon to be replaced by Wingspan at Christmas, I think.)

Nothing is ever going to top Agricola for me.  
We play Duel a lot.  (Like over 300 times last year since we got it - we keep a running tally of wins/losses.  I realize that makes us look crazy competitive, so be it.)

That is great to hear. It is the game I bought for the family this year for Christmas.

Probably the biggest new to us hits here were the escape room games from Thames and Kosmos called Exit: The Room. There are a bunch of them. I think we played three or four. We really like them. They're cheap (which is good because you utterly destroy them as part of the process of "escaping") and brand new each time. We actually tried a couple of other escape room brands, but these are the best in our opinion.

Also, the gods expansion pack for 7 Wonders Duel got a ton of use. BalletBoy and I adore 7 Wonders Duel - we play it both with and without the expansion a good bit.
