[DT] What tabletop board/card/mini/etc. games have you played recently?

How was Power Grid?

Good game. It has a double-sided board (Germany/US) with the base game and there are expansions with different nations, so if one country starts to feel stale, you can try another. The game I played was South Korea. The game itself is a bidding/network-building/resource management game. You bid for power plants, buy the resources to power the plants, and build a network of cities for the plants to power. At the end of the game, the player supplying power to the most cities wins. Note that that's "supplying power to the most cities," not the player with the most power or the most cites. It's possible that the player with the most cities cannot supply enough power and the person with the most power doesn't have enough cities.

I did finally get to play it a little bit ago. Four player in the US because the others didn't want to deal with names of cities they couldn't pronounce   It was intriguing but a little longer than anticipated. I did like how the game worked. I think we didn't block off enough area before start which gave us too much space.

I snagged Ticket to Ride and Small World 2 from Steam on sale. It isn't tabletop, but it's cheaper than buying Small World Underground (which I will eventually).

I played Dead Panic again recently and it's soooo much better than Castle Panic.

I've also been playing on boardgamearena.com as lot lately. Mostly Kahuna, Tokaido, Can't Stop, and Hanabi.

I keep toying with the idea of the deluxe Hanabi game that uses tile/domino things instead of cards because I do like the game a lot.
