Tried Gigawatt for the first time this weekend with friends. It's a game about countries in Europe trying to transform their energy production into green energy while simultaneously meeting the growing energy demands, balancing the power net, and making sure you don't go broke. At first glance it seemed a lot simpler than the games I usually enjoy, but it surprised me with interesting strategic choices and a pretty good balance. And the theme is very well executed and (to my knowledge) quite accurate to the real world. Would recommend.

Also played a few games of Frosthaven, we just entered the third year in the campaign. Playing Shackles and Astral. Really loving the experience so far.

Lastly had a few rounds of The Crew, it's such a good little game for almost any occasion and group!

The crew is so nice and surprisingly deep! Love it.

Completely agree! I really love how you can learn the rules in a few minutes, but spend a long time really learning how to play the game. And all the difficulty levels mean you can play it with pretty much everyone. It's become such a staple for me.
