My partner and I love playing Wingspan. A game about bird may not sound great but it's full of strategy without being too hard to pick up. It's competitive, but just total points at the end, you can't screw each other up during play.
You can definitely screw people over via "hate drafting." My group usually plays casually but sometimes we'll agree beforehand to tryhard and then this happens somewhat often.
Haha, maybe we're too casual to "hate draft". Anytime we block each other it's incidental
I came here to say Wingspan. I have gotten my friends and family to play it, and everyone likes it.
My second favorite game might be Scythe, another one of their games. They just make good stuff.
Ooh, we picked up the digital version of Scythe because it was a few dollars during a Steam sale, we've only played one game so far, but it almost immediately jumped onto our list of games we're planning on buying.
Nice! It’s super good in real life. It feels like there’s so many things at the start since there are so many ways to win. But I really think the game is pretty smooth after a couple of turns. Every time I play it I have a good time — even if I lose.
I ended up buying the expansion that tells a story as you go. But unfortunately my friends and I haven’t had a good time to really play through it.
Wingspan is my favorite! I want to try the Asia expansion sometime soon, I really liked the Oceania one.
I just got the Europe, I want to get Oceania soon. And Asia looks so cool. I kind of hope new mechanics they introduce are more impactful than the European end of round abilities. Those seemed to kind of flop for us.
