What were you introduced to recently, would you play it again, and what is a sentence that sums the game up?

two games today

Champions of Midgar: would definitely play it again, competitive worker placement about Vikings hunting monsters.

Spirit Island: would also play it again. cooperative island spirits repel invaders. bit of a high early learning curve but really fun once you get the hang of it.

I've never heard or tried Champions of Midgar, it looks really nice too. I will jump to play any Viking themed game though : -)

I love Spirit Island's take on colonisation games. My first game was mostly learning, but I agree, it is an excellent coop.

Champions becomes even better with the Valhalla expansion. The other one is supposed to be good too, but I haven't tried it. Valhalla is considered essential by many.

I'll have to check that out, thanks!
