May the Fourth be with you! When the local board game night falls on Star Wars day, themed games are a must. Tonight's pick was Clone Wars by , using the pandemic system. Take on an iconic villain, lead Jedi, and complete missions before the final showdown while keeping the droid army in check. Familiar yet unique, thanks to squad cards and mission attempts. What's your go-to Star Wars game? Did you get to play?

Angels Share by grabbed my interest quickly. Capstone Games provided this review copy. In Angels Share, you take turns navigating distilleries, taking actions, and purchasing barrels to age, with the goal of selling them for a profit at the right moment. The game’s core revolves around economics and investing, and although there are multiple factors to consider, managing your turn is relatively simple. Positioned at a midpoint in terms of complexity, Angels Share offers a great introduction to economic games for newcomers while maintaining engagement for seasoned players. The theme seamlessly integrates with the gameplay, as you watch your barrels age and lose some of their contents. Your actions and those of other players will sway the market, influencing prices and leaving you to decide whether to sell or age further. With its quick learning curve and well-designed introductory elements, Angels Share doesn’t overwhelm. The game’s action economy is clean and efficient, and the fluctuating market makes each game feel like an experiment. I’m eager to dive back in and develop a winning strategy. Have you checked out Angels Share yet?

Almost done with Pandemic Legacy Season 0 by and the pressure is on with only a few months left. We're fighting to keep objectives under control as agents and disease cubes spread. It's intense, but the partial wins are so satisfying. I'm really enjoying how the story is unfolding and connecting to the other seasons. The team vans in Season 0 are a great touch, changing up the pandemic system.

just launched their 20 Strong x Awaken Realms crowdfunding campaign on .crowdfunding and they nailed the core essence of each game in the 20 Strong system! Nemesis brings the tension with noise levels, Etherfields has dynamic deck mechanics, and Tainted Grail stays true to its brutal strategy. Have you checked out 20 Strong yet? Will you back the crossover games? Which one piques your interest?

Just got done playing Game of Thrones by after a long time, and I'm reminded that the slow burn is part of the fun. The Mother of Dragons Expansion is a game-changer for me, especially with the Vassal system. We had a lively debate afterwards about whether the gameplay justifies the time commitment. Personally, I think the social side of gaming is what makes it enjoyable, regardless of the length. What's your take on long games?

In Fate of the Fellowship by , you're in control of iconic characters racing to complete quests before heading to Mt Doom to destroy the One Ring. This game builds on the Pandemic system, feeling like an advanced version to me. I love the unpredictable shadow cards, where the next card's back determines the action. With various quest options, the game's replayability is high. Have you tried this one yet? What do you think?
