Heeeeelllloooo Gamers! Wow, I can’t believe how fast July flew by! It was great to get back to more gaming this month, especially a bunch of new games. With GenCon coming up, what new games are on your radar for August or beyond?

👎🏻 – Didn’t Like/Would Not Play Again (I rate it a 1 – 3)

🤷🏻‍♀️ Chronicles of Avel
😄 Yak
🤷🏻‍♀️/😄 Squid Inc. – It’s okay; I think with more plays I’d like it more, as I grew to understand the strategies.
😄 Vindication – This box wasn’t super enticing to me…but the game was pretty cool! There seems to be a lot of paths to try, so I’d be interested to play more.
😄 Bunny Kingdom – Technically, I have played this before. BUT. We played it very wrong, so was it a real play? I think not! I’m so glad we finally played it again, and own it now. This is such a great game!
🤷🏻‍♀️ Azul: Crystal Mosaic – A fine addition to the game if you’re itching for a little more variety.
😄 Scythe – I liked this a lot more than I thought I would, since I’m not usually drawn to games that look like this, but I had a great time playing!
😄 Cartographers Maps 4, 5 & 6 – Got my first few plays of these awesome maps in this month! Look out for the review soon. I love the variety they add to the game.
🤷🏻‍♀️ Canvas – I think this game is super pretty, but I don’t really get all the hype it has. It was a very basic game with a little too much down time for me.
🤷🏻‍♀️ Spy Connection
🤷🏻‍♀️ Walking in Burano
😄 Free Radicals – This game was super cool, and there is so much possibility because of how differently the factions play. It’s really essential to pick on that plays to your strengths as a gamer in order to do well.
🤷🏻‍♀️ Transformers Deck-Building Game
👎🏻 Charmed and Dangerous
