I’ve been playing boardgames for 10 years. I wish I discovered this game sooner. I can’t stop playing.
City of the Great Machine is a totally unique & clever game. Excellent, both multiplayer & solo.
A pleasant trick-taker, with basically only two suits. The big change is the ability tokens that can change the rules slightly if you choose to use them.
Can be added to the base game easily without learning a bunch of new rules or changing the base game.
Exhaust is a shedding game that uses poker hands as combinations to play. There’s only one loser, so you’re trying to NOT go out first. It’s a very mellow games that works but it doesn’t feel like there are all that many decisions to make. But not bad. For similar vibes but deeper play I’d recommend Dealt!
