   My Father's Work 2022

   Amazing first play. Will play it again ASAP.

3. 9.5
   Paladins of the West Kingdom 2019

   • City of Crowns

   After two plays, it jumped way up my list. Currently in my top 5.

4. 9.4
   Dune: Imperium 2020

   Mean but awesome. Wish my friends liked it more.

   So Clover! 2021

   Can play with anyone! Lots of fun and quick rounds. The only downside: rounds can feel similar if you're unlucky.

8. 9
   Splendor Duel 2022

   Never want to play regular Splendor again.

9. 8.5
   7 Wonders Duel 2015

   • Agora · 9

   Always fun, but the counting is annoying.

10. 8.5
    Champions of Midgard 2015

    • The Dark Mountains
    • Valhalla

    Rules were a little weird, but everyone wanted to play again right away.

11. 8.5
    Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion 2020
12. 8.5
    Lords of Waterdeep 2012

    • Scoundrels of Skullport

    Great worker placement. Keeps it simple and fun.

13. 8.5
    Lost Ruins of Arnak 2020

    After my first play I still prefer Dune: Imperium, but it's a fabulously made game and I look forward to playing again.

14. 8.5
    Stay Cool 2019

    Multiple plays. Gives me anxiety. Awesome.

15. 8.5
    Unconscious Mind 2024
16. 8
    Clank!: Catacombs 2022

    The only Clank! game that doesn't make me mad.

17. 8
    Everdell 2018
18. 8
    Just One 2018

    For some reason it's called Carrots now.

19. 8
    Lost Cities 1999
20. 8
    Ready Set Bet 2022

    One play in. Could go up or down, but I'm guessing up.

    SCOUT 2019
22. 8
    That's Pretty Clever! 2018

    I've only played solo, but the app is so fun I plan to keep playing it every day.

23. 8
    Watergate 2019
24. 7.5
    Azul 2017

    Fun, mean game.

25. 7.5
    The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire 2016

    Had fun, but might need another play to tell if it will stay around.

26. 7.5
    Similo 2019

    Does its job as a fun party game.

27. 7
    It's a Wonderful World 2019

    Didn't feel a spark after the first play, but it seems like an excellent gateway game. Keeping it for at least one more play.

28. 7
    Kingdomino 2016

    Works wonderfully with 2 to 4 players. The 20-minute play time always makes me want another round.

29. 7
    Obscurio 2019
30. 7
    Small World 2009
31. 7
    Wayfarers of the South Tigris 2022
