If you enjoy tile laying, check out Camargue. I believe it was just released at Essen Spiel. Quick turns and interesting scoring but still accessible. I enjoyed it more than Carcassonne.
Akropolis is a great gateway to tile laying games. So simple to teach and learn. And there's enough depth to the strategy to keep it interesting for seasoned gamers.
Cafe Baras, River Valley Glassworks, and Beacon Patrol are three of our favs. We are actually going to livestream Cafe Baras, Diced Veggies, and possibly Food Fighters Wednesday night on our channel.
I 💖💖💖 River Valley Glassworks! I recently bought it, and I'm so glad. I live in Western North Carolina where we had severe damage ftom Hurricane Helene. Our house wasn't damaged, but we didn't have power or water for two weeks. I'm an associate school teacher, and we are just going back this week, kids start the 28th. But I digress - I played so many solo games of River Valley Glassworks - the solo portion is well thought out and offers different challenges. And if I ever get the chance to buy the upgraded version, I'm grabbing it! I'll donate mine to the school 😉. I really want to try Cafe Baras too, thanks for the review!
Great list! I haven't played many but your descriptions made me want to. I've only played River of Gold on BGA, but it is a fun game. I'd love to run a board game cafe in the future too👍 I don't know if I'd be very good at it, but it sounds like a fun retirement plan to me.
Some interesting sounding games there that I would like to try like Cafe Baras. I recently got River of Gold and have enjoyed it a lot. I wouldn’t say it is light weight…more like lighter side of medium. I hope Alicia enjoys it too! Thanks for the nice video!
@@blackboardgaming5348 I've never seen Ratatouille! The whole rat in a restaurant thing just sounds crazy...I mean...what were they thinking??🤣🤣🤣 I'd probably like it though; I'm a pushover for cute critters. Hence: Cafe Baras!☕️
You should totally open a board game cafe! You're an expert in both parts of that!!

@@JacobRamirez-li9dt Akropolis is a great introductory game.
Cafe Baros looks good. KTBG does it again!
@@daryleg yeah, they did!

@@kayhcole I'm glad to hear that you're safe. Wow, two weeks!? You made it through.
I just unboxed Cities and started setting it up. I'm trying to find Cafe Baras..waiting for it to show up in my FLBG store. Great video!

@@guandjs thank you!
Great suggestions! We're really enjoying Cafe Baras (though I joke about the incongruity of giant rodents in a cafe🤣)
@@teaNgames hey, remember Ratatouille?
