What board games are people hyped about right now? I’m still on the Arkham horror LCG train but been looking at what’s come out in the past year as I haven’t played much else!

My friends and I have been playing Betrayal at the house on the hill recently. It's sort of a horror movie game where the first half is everyone exploring a haunted house, and the second half, one of the players becomes the monster
Ooh yeah I’ve played that! Had fun but kept running into an issue where the less-experienced player would end up on a team by themself halfway through and the rules were just too *much*, let alone figuring out strategies. Better game for “board game people”
Nothing too hyped up rn for me, but games I always fall back on are Dominion (a Deckbuilding card game), Evolution, Catan, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, and 7 Wonders
I wish I liked wingspan, I just… don’t. I call the genre “solo games you play together” where you add up points at the end to see who wins doesn’t do it for me. Tracking your opponent’s strategy grinds the game to a crawl. I liked everdell a bit cuz it’s cute tho! But not enough to buy
I’ve played it on TTS a bit and I just got my physical copy but I’m unsure on it. 2 player felt incredibly harsh, might need to try it with 3! And maybe the physical game “feels” better
It is a harsh game. No matter the player count, although, yes, 2p is the most cutthroat one. Regarding the game per se, this one might take some time to sink in. Every Cole game does! Also, once you get the hang of it, I recommend you try the L&L mode. It adds a lot to the game!
Yeah I’ve done base game twice. I tried to get into digital Root game and it didn’t do much for me. Might’ve felt different on the table though playing against a real person instead of AI (who I just kind of… ignored? While I did things until I won?)
