Lists of games or game related items that fit under a certain category.
Sometimes, a game will be great, but it will feel like I just need a little bit more. Other times, games feel perfect just as they are, nothing additional needed. There are a bunch of different reasons why an expansion can feel unnecessary to me. Here are 5 games (in no real order) where I feel an expansion is not needed at all for a stellar experience.
[To clarify, I’ll still play these games with expansions included sometimes, I just don’t feel that they are needed to improve the game.]
Hi, Gamers! Wow, can you believe we are halfway through the year already? A fun fact at my halfway point – I’ve racked up about 477 plays and have played 251 different games! Do you track your game stats? How many games/played do you have so far in 2023?
❤️ – Loved It/Always Love It/Favorite (I rate it a 9 – 10)
😄 – Liked It/Will Likely Play Again (I rate it a 7 – 8)
🤷🏻♀️ – Okay/Take It or Leave It/Could Play Again (I rate it a 4 – 6)
👎🏻 – Didn’t Like/Would Not Play Again (I rate it a 1 – 3)
It wasn’t a huge month for new-to-me games in May, but a few still made it to the table! I’ve been super okay lately with playing more of just games I know instead of always chasing something new. But I’m always still down for some new plays if the opportunity presents itself!

Over time, my gaming group has grown, shrunk, added tables, changed venues, and more. With the size of our current group, it is pretty common for us to split into multiple smaller groups and play a few different games during our weekly game night.
There’s lots of games that are great at 2 to 4 players. I also enjoy a bunch of, usually lighter, games at 6+. But I have found that I am really (and I mean really) not a fan of 5-player games. They’re often too long or slow, or don’t offer enough interaction to keep me invested in the game between my turns. It’s actually a running gag in my group that I hate 5-player games, and would rather split into 3 and 2, or even sit out than play something at 5. (Luckily, we don’t have a 5-player count all that often these days.) All that said, there are some games that I think work well at exactly 5. So here are my favorite 5-player games!
Back again with more Marvel United rankings! Last time, I rated characters from the “season 1” stuff, so this post will be all about the characters from the “season 2” boxes which is mostly X-Men (mutants), but also includes the Fantastic Four and Deadpool boxes. Again, this will be my top 5 heroes / 5 least favorite heroes, and my top 3 villains / 3 least favorite villains. (There’s less villains, so I made those lists shorter). Each list in no particular order because the rankings are very close.
