I made this list for a post over at [email protected] so I figured I'd reuse it here too:

Sea Salt & Paper - my second favorite small-deck card game after Mottainai. Very addictive!
Evergreen - a chill drafting game with a spatial puzzle and great components
Wizards of the Grimoire - 2p card battler with a neat mana/cooldown mechanic
Space Station Phoenix - An engine builder where you scrap your ships (which also give your actions) to use them as building resources. Looks great on the table.
For Northwood! - A solo tricktaker that works really well, excellent production. Available as PnP too.
Tiletum - a Luciani/Tascini euro, love them all, this one is good too. (Don't have Darwin yet)

Oh I will have to have a look at Space Station Phoenix, looks super interesting.

I am super mainstream and my collection is rather modest. For two players I really like Splendor Duel

Otherwise, I have to go with Clank Catacombs - I found it a really cool addition to the game. I have not tried Legacy yet but I have been told that it borrows some components from it as well.

Great call on Splendor Duel, should have been on my list too!

My single complaint about that game is that I can't quite fit both the original Splendor and Duel into the Duel box. But I can do the next best thing which is keeping both in the original box.

Space Station Phoenix is on BGA too. I prefer it on the table though, easier to see the available sectors, the diplomacy board and player ships. On BGA they had to be tucked under separate tabs to make it fit on the screen. And it's fun to put the little aliens into their cozy new homes.

I have to say that I prefer most games on the table :) BGA is ok for some long distance sessions but I do prefer a nice atmosphere around the boardgame.
