Best game played over the last week was Wondrous Creatures. Pokémon-esque themed engine builder a la Terraforming Mars with some worker placement. Really solid.
Only gripe is the market row. Player order never changes and one player’s recharge always gives others first dibs.

I'm not a big fan of market row in general, too much luck of the draw.
In my head, a market row is less lucky, as players aren't just drawing from the top of a deck. Usually getting a chance to see some cards, helps mitigate those lucky pulls. Weird! guess they thought it was too stagnate without that mechanic.
Here I may be being too picky. But it still stuck out at me.
There is some compensation for the 2nd player though in other areas.
