Man, Spirit Island is such a great game. I haven't played it in a while though because of the length and rule complexity; it's hard to get to the table with my normal group.
I remember the first week I got it though; all I wanted to do was play that game. That Sunday, I played Spirit Island early in the morning, then DM'ed for DnD, then played more Spirit Island afterwards. That was a good Sunday.

I'm really the same - I got it a week ago and have already logged 6 plays. Phenomenal game! My wife also enjoyed it, even though her first game was at first a bit overwhelming to her. It's certainly a keeper.

#Exit: Dead Man on the Orient Express and #Exit: The Game – The Catacombs of Horror were both excellent. They all have their little twists and turns...I'm amazed at how they still come up with ways to surprise you.

I'm sorry, @rlupino, I accidentally reported the parent comment here by absent-mindedly clicking on my phone screen :/

Ha, thanks! Maybe it would be better if the report button brought up a modal dialog? I'm not sure how often this happens but it could cut down on accidental reports.

Beautiful photo! Are the boxes arranged in any particular order? e.g. chronologically, aesthetically.
Haven't played any of the Exit games, but really want to. Only played a couple of the #UNLOCKED modules and really enjoyed them.

No, I was thinking about setting them up in chronological order but it was just easier to make them look pretty...lol.

That's an incredible photo. I kind of wish I kept my boxes for display now haha. My wife and I are going to be playing our 3rd probably this week.

My wife and I finally played our first game of #Clank! Legacy: Acquisitions Incorporated! :D
Will post our impressions of the game some time today.

We were nearly done the campaign before Covid hit. Awesome game, can't wait to finish it one day... I think you're really going to enjoy it!

- #KeyForge: Call of the Archons 2x with a friend. We each won once.
- #Wingspan same friend, he smoked me. I had a really tough time getting any birds down!
- #Horrified with my wife. We played while watching the classic Lon Chaney "The Wolfman" movie. That was really fun! Unfortunately my wife said she wasn't able to pay any attention to the movie while we were playing so she had no idea what happened in it lol.
- #Viticulture: Essential Edition solo. The game ended in a tie with the automa, which counts as a loss. So close!
- #Azul with a friend
- #Century: Golem Edition with a friend
- #Tiny Towns 2x @ 5p. We taught some friends this one, and I think they enjoyed it!

Lots of great games in there! The only one I haven't played is Horrified. What is it like?

It's fun! It's our only co-op, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I've seen it compared favorably to Pandemic. Basically, you are trying to defeat a certain number of monsters (more is harder), and you alternate "hero" turns with monster turns. You have to collect items, rescue villagers, and perform certain actions in order to defeat the monsters before the "terror track" reaches the highest level.

Cool. Sounds interesting! How would you compare it to something like Spirit Island?

Lots of #Spirit Island (mostly solo and once with my wife) and two solo games of #The Isle of Cats. Both are great solo games that will stick around in my collection. Other than that, just one solo game of Wingspan and a lot of #That's Pretty Clever on my phone. We also had a couple of friends now that visits are allowed here and we tried #Wavelength, which might now be my favourite party game.
I especially love the variability of Spirit Island. With that said, I am already thinking about picking up the expansion just to get the event deck (I would welcome the unpredictability)
