3 x Kingdom Builder and one Alhambra as well, played yesterday. Kingdom Builder is a love from first play in Essen. Simplicity of rules and subtle depth (that is easily confused with pure randomness) - excellent game to play if you have 30 mins to spare. First game to achieve 50 logged F2F plays. Alhambra is a forgotten gem - first time played it 3 years ago - and then got overwhelmed by massive load of new games. Just recently started to play it again - pretty nice one.

Fortune & Glory: competitive game with 6 players is awfully lagging, with 5 manageable but 4 players seems to be the sweetspot. Haven't tried yet coop/teams. Oh, and with 2p the competitive game shines as well - minimum downtime.

Played Combat Commander: Europe today, after some long time. One of the few wargames I really thoroughly enjoy - it's relatively fast to play (it lasted today max 3hrs) and has no dice but excellent card-driven commandment. Started/ended session with some fillers - Geistesblitz (oh my, how I suck in playing that) and No Thanks (easy push-your-luck filler, based mainly on greed and luck).

Next time: Sekigahara perhaps.
