25 Games I want to finally get to the table

Cube conversion to the max. 4-8 players needed. It's easier than it looks and gets rave reviews from people who have actually played it

The very pretty animal themed remake of Knizia's Quo Vadis has been quite popular and I really want to play my copy. Plays 3-7 players. It's a negotation game that should play quickly.

My other splotter. This one is just as pretty 😉 But easier to grok and get into or so I am told. It also plays faster.

I've only had a single game of this that was more or less a demo game from the rulebook. It plays 1-9 players anything with 4+ players would be great.

Very abstract space chess game. I don't even know how to describe this. Best played with 4 players.

Requires a minimum of 3 players. Has some a trick-taking like central mechanism. Other games by Cole Wehrle that you find on my shelves: Root, Pax Pamir 2, Oath, John Company 2 I also of the campaign expansion that seems quite exciting but for a first game I'd stick to the base-game

Gigant space exploration that would really require rewatching the show before playing. Probably best for a whole Saturday or Sunday. Preferably with 3+ players. Apparently plays up to 10 ? Probably takes a week to play then.

I haven't played this since getting the new super deluxe edition 🙂 It's a bag building push your luck game that is a bit like Quacksalber except Alice in Wonderland themed with battles for castles instead of cooking up potions.

This is not quite unplayed, but a single play at 2 players easily puts this on the list. Train game meets tech tree during the industrial revolution. Needs 3+ players to shine I think. Best would be 4.

Cooperative game about the wild taking back nature from the factory and it's machines. Supposedly quite difficult to win. 2+ players. 4 would be best though. Caveat: it's a cooperative game with player elimination.

Cube Rails! Needs 3+ players willing to play a train game.

I have the pretty new edition. It's a classic Knizia auction game with bids limited to the coins you currently have. There is some similarity to the bidding of Nidavellir.

Crazy world eating space frogs. 2+ players. Be prepared for an ugly teach, the rulebook is quite chaotic.

I have only played this one solo. It has similarities to Brass B but seems easier to figure out a strategy and execute it. This actually notes it would be best at 3 players.

Splotter Spellen. Difficult to get into as far as I know. Not because of the rules but because initial strategy is hard to figure out. Be prepared to lose because of a dumb decision from turn 1 or 2.

4 asymmetric factions try to do better than history. Needs 4 players and probably half an afternoon to learn the game and then the rest of the day to play.

My one and only GMT / COIN game. I've tried solo-ing it 4 handed. Play Cuba's history... really needs all 4 factions in play, so 4 players it is. Should be quicker than Weimar at least

Build a deck, herd some sheep and run in circles. I've played the OG GWT a couple of times. I'd like to see this one on the table. Should be okay with 2+ players.

I don't actually have a copy. But I made a proxy from Parade and some dice. It's trick taking with some dice. Needs 3+ players. While we're at it, I have a bunch of other smallish card games that want 3+ players to be checked out.

This is a bit of a stand in for a whole bunch of "on a map" games that I own and never really got to play: Ankh, Inis, War of Whispers, Iwari, Battle for Rokugan, Condottiere. As I said: a whole bunch.

Classic war game about Dune. Needs probably a whole afternoon or evening. Plays best with 5 or 6 factions in play.

Deck-building in an orderly fashion while building up settlements in the nile delta. Beware the crocodiles!

Big train game. My only 18xx. I don't think it makes sense to play this with less than 4 players.

It's so pretty. Something about witches and covens and spells... It's been too long since I tried learning this. Best at 3. Not a quick game and probably not a quick teach. It's one of my big Kickstarter games.

Ressource management in space. Yes, it says 4x-Euro in some descriptions. But it is way more Euro than resource management. 2+ players should do the trick. It's not a quick teach though. And not a quick setup either. But I have all the plastic spaceships you want. This is only on here I admit so I could get 25 games. I don't want to teach this. I dislike setting it up because the fancy insert has terrible logistics. It has bad rules retention. Mostly I love the cover art.
