Tried out some new games last couple of weeks.
Mage Knight: played the walkthrough scenario with a buddy. Fairly steep learning curve, but really enjoyed the various systems and mechanics. We're going to try the fully co-op scenario this week now that we have a better understanding of the rules.
Lords of Waterdeep: tricked my wife into playing (who hates all things Dungeons and Dragons) by advertising it as a Euro with elements of Agricola and Puerto Rico (some of her favorite games). Despite the D&D branding, she really liked the game (though she felt compelled to rename the resources, like the orange fighter cubes became carrots...
) Very well put together game with nice components and an amazing box insert. Strikes a good balance of being easy to learn, quick to play, but not feeling
too light (unlike something like Small World, in my opinion).
