Several games of Ark Nova, we both like it a lot. In the last game we put the reference sheet on a music stand to save some table space.
We also played a few games of Mille Fiori with a 2 player variant from BGG, it makes the 2p game feel a lot more competitive. I've been thinking about other types of drafts that could be applied to the game.
And finally we played a game of Lorenzo Il Magnifico, an older favorite. We played a base game in preparation to try to expansions for the first time.
Nice idea with the music stand! How is this going for you and the rules of Ark Nova?
One mistake we made for a while is that when you release an animal, you also loose the tickets/attractive that this animal provided. But other than that its really straight forward after a few games
Plays surprisingly smooth now that we are into it! Overall it's a lot less messy than I first thought. Lots of mechanism but they work well together and make sense so easy to remember.
Haha, we made that mistake too! But the way it works makes thematic sense. And I guess in some situations it could be used to get yourself back under 25 appeal to allow playing cards with that requirement.
