Game Recommendations

I see that Porta Nigra is at an all time low. Anybody here play it? Is it worth $10-15 from cool stupid Inc? 

Today is the 30th anniversary of when the Berlin Wall effectively ceased to function. The guards opened the gates to a flood of people. This is clearly a important point in world history. I am curious if there are any games specifically about the Berlin Wall? I imagine that there are games that incorporate it as a part of the game. But I'm wondering if there is something specifically about the wall and the forces that led to its fall. 

Has anyone played Shobu before? It's a game that immediately caught my eyes since I used to play Go a lot as a kid. It gives off an elegant vibe and I have a feeling I'll like it since I love strategy, the components look satisfying to play with, and seems like a quick play.

For those who like abstracts, see Ben's post here from a few days ago!

I've really enjoyed the shared board and alternate play of Root a lot recently and would love to know what other games have mechanics like this that are good.

Ok yáll. I'm a board game novice trying to find a good 3-6 player game to play (besides Catan, Ticket to Ride, Monopoly, and Codenames). Any ideas?

(The more challenging the game, the better)

(But also easy enough to teach myself the basics)

I thought a thread on recommending games could be fun. I've got a few games on my wishlist I could get next but I'm not sure. I'm thinking about 

• Scythe
• Viticulture
• Welcome To...

Any recommendation on what to get first or maybe a good worker placement game you'd recommend?

I like the recommendation thread on Reddit and though I'd start one here! Post what kind of games you like and what you're looking for and others can respond with recommendations!
