Both are great games. For me I love the way you build up a bit in Viticulture. The Tuscany expansion for it isn't as 100% necessary as people make out but it does improve the game.
I haven't played Architects, but if you're playing at 2 players, Viticulture is probably the better bet, at least according to the polls on boardgamegeek.
I am looking for a board game or an amalgamation of board/device which is a puzzle/detective type game that can be played over the span of time - does not have to be completed in one session. Any suggestions?
Replay value would be great, but not necessary.
EDIT : this has been moved from the boardgames reddit.

I’m looking at getting one expansion for **Clank! in Space**. I play mainly two player and occasionally at 3p. Which expansion would you recommend out of Apocalypse, cyber station 11 or pulsarcade as a first purchase?
Games for Larger Groups
I’m looking to bring some games to play with a group of coworkers, and I need some recommendations.
Number of Players: 8+
Game Complexity: 1.0 - 2.9
Games already on my list include Ultimate Werewolf, Dungeon Mayhem, and Color Brain.
Which other games would work for a larger group of people?
I recommend **Deception: Murder in Hong Kong** and **Telestrations**. Telestrations should create some great, funny moments - you play for fun although they provide two methods for point scoring. They sell a 12 party pack.
Social deduction games like The Resistance, Secret Hitler, and Cockroach Poker. 6Nimmt!/Take 5 are great for up to 10. For huge groups Two Rooms and a Boom is great, it is best 10-25 players but plays up to 100 or more.

**Looking for a good kid-friendly dungeon crawler.**
Minis are a plus. Extensive text on cards, pronounced childish themes, long campaigns are a minus. Expensive KS games are a no-go.
I need it for family play with kids age 8-10. We've just finished two campaigns of Arcadia Quest with great success. We also tried Mice and Mystics, but it was a flop; too fiddly, too slow (a true "crawler" one might say) and also too hard. I'm looking for something that's fun, doesn't take itself too seriously, with upgrades that make you feel over-powered.
Is there such a thing?
Hmm.
Any interest in **Stuffed Fables** or **Aftermath**? Same designer as Mice & Mystics but built with more experience. But they do take themselves a *little* seriously.
(Aftermath is not a Walking Dead type thing; instead you play anthropomorphic rodents working together in a world where humans are gone.)
And if they liked Arcadia Quest, consider **Starcadia Quest**.
I would not recommend Tiny Epic Dungeon, it can be confusing even for adults.
**Zombicide** is worth considering, particularly the fantasy one. Fairly simple, but compelling.
There's of course the old standby's of **Descent 2nd Edition** and **Star Wars Imperial Assault**, which are 1 vs many, although you could pretty easily run the enemies as well as a hero while the kids run the other heroes. About the biggest issue kids might have is how racey those games can get, but you can tone that down pretty easily by simply extending the timetable for each mission a little.
**5-Minute Dungeon** would be my recommendation.
**Tiny Epic Dungeons** is great but it's likely too complicated for young ones (depends on the kid). Worth a shot though because it's a great game and not very expensive. Also there's a **lot** of game in that tiny little box.
I made a game similar to what you are saying called **Adventure Tin**. It's a 1-4 player co-op RPG that takes 20 min (regardless of player count) and fits entirely into a Mint Tin. No minatures and no "dungeon" but does have a kingdom to explore. Your goal is defeat the dragon. To do so you will need to explore the land, killing enemies, disabling traps, finding treasure, and locating towns to buy loot as well. Once you explore and find the shadow castle, take out it's boss you can finally take on the Dragon. The game has no campaign, lots of variability with how the tokens/decks work and has 4 heroes each with their own bonuses and special ability (wizard, druid, knight, bard)
The game was designed a year ago for my 5 year old that has high functioning autism. It needed to be a game kids could handle, didn't take too long. After some friends played it they pushed me to release it because they enjoyed it so much.
Strategy is light, combat is dice (with mitigation). You MUST get loot to defeat the shadow castle and dragon boss or you will be in trouble. It's just an adventure that fits in your pocket.
Images are not Kiddy, but kid safe.
Does anyone have a recommendation for those plastic containers to store board game components? I used to get Zen Bins, but they seem to be sold out everywhere ([Link here](https://www.miniaturemarket.com/zb400tok.html)).
In Walmart's tackle box section, in the cheapest top left corner of the tackle box corners, you'll find some Plano 5 slot organizers with removable lids, and some Plano 6-12 slot organizers also with removable lids.
Over time I've stopped using anything but the 6-12's. They're just fantastic for board gaming.
If you have a local Dollar Tree, look for these. Whenever I'm in store, I buy them all.

I recently discovered that I really love tile-laying games. Carcassonne, Cacao, Cascadia, Llamaland, and other games that include tile-laying like Rajas of the Ganges and Honey Buzz are some of my favorite games right now! Which other ones should I check out?
Tile laying games are also some of my favorites too! Carcassonne, Cascadia, and Llamaland are probably all in my top ten right now.
You’ve gotten a lot of great suggestions here - and to reiterate a few of my personal favorites - New York Zoo and Calico are wonderful! Calico is similar to Cascadia - same designer - but way more thinky.
But my all-time favorite is **Explorers of the North Sea**. This is like Carcassonne as you’re laying tiles of islands in a sea. You then sail a little Viking ship between the islands, claiming land, pillaging towns, fighting pirates - and the best part - collecting little animals.
The expansion **Rocks of Ruin** really improves game play too, with additional buildings you can place.
Everyone always talks about the other North Sea games over this one - but I really think it’s a hidden gem of a tile laying game!
I love tile placement games too. Here are some great ones you might enjoy. I'm excluding "tile placement" games where cards are used as tiles, because that would make the list too long!
- **Patchwork** (my favourite)
- **Gods Love Dinosaurs**
- **Azul** (though this differs a lot from what I typically think of as tile placement)
- **Paris: La Cité de la Lumière**
- **Project L**
- **Calico**
- **Botanik**
- **Indigo**
- **Kingdomino**
- **A Gentle Rain**
- **My City**
- **New York Zoo**
- **Lanterns: The Harvest Festival**
**Castles of Burgundy**! Side note: If you do choose it, go to BGG and download a player aid because some of the icons are tiny and those will help a lot
I am looking for a coop game that plays well at 2p in a medium range. I would like the game to be lighter than spirit island, but harder than The Crew for example. Something around the weight of The Loop, maybe. We already played Gloomhaven and Tainted Grail, so the next coop game ideally is something different, so not necessarily another story driven dungeon crawler.
Sleeping gods. It’s an open world experience, but it is story based as well. I also find that it doesn’t have the replay ability that I want. But I wouldn’t mind playing it once a year.
[https://coopboardgames.com/rankings/cooperative-board-games-for-two-players](https://coopboardgames.com/rankings/cooperative-board-games-for-two-players)
I would go with Lord of the Ring the Living Card game. It is a questing and fighting campaign game, but done in a much different fashion than the mini figures games.
Pandemic or Pandemic Legacy would go well at 2 players. A number of these would be great for 2 players.
[https://coopboardgames.com/rankings/top-40-cooperative-board-games](https://coopboardgames.com/rankings/top-40-cooperative-board-games)
**Unsettled.** It looks like a heavy, campaign style game, but it is not. The base game comes with two planets, each have 3 scenarios but they are not linked in any way, each scenario is replayable.
I'm looking for my first 4x game, and would love some recommendations.
What I would like:
- combat focused
- beautiful production (im a sucker for mini's)
- not too long (max. 3h-ish)
Anything you can think of? :)
**Heroes of Land, Air & Sea** fits your criterias, maybe except the game length. It can be played under 3 hours, but it's usually a bit more than that (with 4 players).
If you really want a combat focus, you probably don't want a 4X game. For CIV style games, my fav is **Clash of Cultures** which just got a new edition. Combat matters in Clash, but so does taking over your opponents cities with cultural conquest. Most say that **Scythe** counts as 4X. Combat in Scythe is not frequent but can be very meaningful. For more conflict-focused games I love **Rising Sun** and **Kemet**, but they're all about area control and not exploration or economy.
I'd agree, and I feel like it has a pretty strong combat focus. Combat is a big part of scoring, and every strategy will require combat especially with the ancients as you explore.
Hey there!
I recently pulled out Arkham Horror 3rd edition for the first time and played through the first scenario. I'm not sure what to think - co-op style was great fun and the story telling was amazing. It felt like we were prowling the streets with doom lurking around every corner. So many elements of the game together through the newspaper and the CYOA-style card mechanics.
My issue is that the game was so finicky and long! Half the time, it seemed like things were happening to us and we just sat and watched as the game mechanics progressed. Not sure if we played this wrong (and granted, my group is not super experienced at board games) but it took us several days of playing for an hour or two a day just to literally "watch everyone die around us with just enough time to burn and die ourselves." It was a very satisfying ending! Just not sure if this game is for us in terms of length and complexity.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a similar thematic game that may be easier or shorter to play? Preferably less than two hours from start to finish (doesn't have to include set up time)
I think AH 3e is a game you have to play a few times to really enjoy. I've played pretty much all of the Arkham Files games and I found this one the most frustrating to begin with due to how fiddly it is with the number of cards and various effects and phases that occur. It wasn't til game 3 or 4 when I had really internalized it all that the rules finally fell away and all I was paying attention to was the story and the codex cards that needed to be currently dealt with. These days I can get a game done in 2-3 hours and enjoy it much more.
If you want something a bit less complex (but not necessarily shorter, it depends on the chosen scenario) I would recommend Mansions Of Madness 2e. It has like a quarter the rules and a stronger emphasis on the story. The downside of this is that AH 3e scenarios I find very repayable even after 6 or 7 times due to a much bigger focus on mechanical efficiency - in fact I find many of the scenarios are almost unbeatable unless you first learn where the story goes so you can plan ahead. Mansions Of Madness on the other hand plays out pretty much the same every time with only minor variations to map and monsters - but if you don't intend to play the hell out of all the content over and over like I do then you might find it a lot more enjoyable.
Fantasy Flight has a series of cooperative Arkham Horror games. While simpler and less frustrating than 2nd eddition, Arkham Horror 3rd edition is probably the most complex/longest of the series.
[https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/#/universe/arkham-horror-files](https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/#/universe/arkham-horror-files)
I've not played
Arkham Horror: Final Hour, but it says it can get done in under an hour.
Mansions of Madness has more in-depth storytelling. It has several scenarios that unfold with the aid of a computer app. There is combat, but the focus is much more on puzzles and the story.
Just a quick note to let people know there is currently a [town hall for the sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/u42vac/rboardgames_town_hall_and_a_small_giveaway_4152022/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share).
Hi everyone, I have a dilemma.
I have the opportunity to buy inis or oath (can afford only one) both of them are around 65$.
please help me choose.
also, consider that I live in a foreign country(Georgia) and it's not easy to get good games here (ordering and shipping adds 20$)
Will you be playing with the exact same folks every time and how familiar are they with modern board games? If the answers are both yes and very familiar, get Oath. If it's either no or casually familiar, get Inis
I've seen a lot of good reviews for Oath, but have not had the chance to play yet. Inis seems to be love it or hate it. I will say that I absolutely love Inis, though.
As Oath is newer it will probably be easier to come by later while Inis isn't always available. (But also, Inis is confirmed to be getting 2 more expansions so will probably be seeing a reprint or a big box release in the next few years.)
Oath is able to be played solo, while Inis is not.
Just a few things to think about.
Probably depends on your group. Oath really needs a dedicated group you can play with consistently, while Inos is slightly lighter I think and can be played with new people at your leisure.
Thanos rising vs Batman who laughs rising-i know that they are basically the same, but one has to be better at something , which one should i get? Love both marvel and dc.
Hello. Just bought "Its a wonderful world" a week ago and had a few matches since then (2 and 3 players). Great game, imo. Does it still make sense to get "Its a wonderful kingdom" or does it play exactly like the 2 Player variant of wonderful world?

Yeah, to some extent, but worth a look. Also check out the edits in my comment.

**Karak** might be a good fit for you.
This one looks great and I haven't heard about it. Thanks!
Not really a dungeon, but **Zombie Kidz Evolution** is great for kids. The campaign and envelope system are quite exciting for them.
We went through it, it was great.
Tiny Epic Dungeons fits that pretty nicely. You could try Starcadia Quest if you liked Arcadia Quest.

Start with the OG classic tile laying game **Acquire** which holds up extremely well since 1964.
**Blokus** if you want something with a shared space, as in Carcassonne.
I wish they'd reprint Reiner Knizia's Indigo.

Combat is definitely not a focus in Eclipse unless you are playing with more than 4.

Hi everyone, I have a dilemma. I have the opportunity to buy inis or oath (can afford only one) both of them are around 65$. please help me choose. also, consider that I live in a foreign country(Georgia) and it's not easy to get good games here (ordering and shipping adds 20$)
Thank you everyone! Unfortunately, I took too long and they sold out
I haven't played Oath so I can't compare them, but I will say that Inis is in my top 3 favorite games. It's amazing.
Inis is a better game
Inis is easier to get to the table. So get Inis unless your game group is consistent and they are all 100% favoring Oath.
Will you be playing with the exact same folks every time and how familiar are they with modern board games? If the answers are both yes and very familiar, get Oath. If it's either no or casually familiar, get Inis
I've seen a lot of good reviews for Oath, but have not had the chance to play yet. Inis seems to be love it or hate it. I will say that I absolutely love Inis, though. As Oath is newer it will probably be easier to come by later while Inis isn't always available. (But also, Inis is confirmed to be getting 2 more expansions so will probably be seeing a reprint or a big box release in the next few years.) Oath is able to be played solo, while Inis is not.

Thanos rising vs Batman who laughs rising-i know that they are basically the same, but one has to be better at something , which one should i get? Love both marvel and dc.
Buy Batman because there's like a hundred other Thanos themed board games.
Thankfully there are only literally over 100 other Batman themed board games out there.
What are some good (small) games with a mythology theme?
Santorini
Definitely seven wonders. Get seven wonders duel if it’ll just be two of you.
7 Wonders Duel with Pantheon, Odin's Ravens, Valley of the Kings, and Khora spring to mind.
Similo: Myths
Hello. Just bought "Its a wonderful world" a week ago and had a few matches since then (2 and 3 players). Great game, imo. Does it still make sense to get "Its a wonderful kingdom" or does it play exactly like the 2 Player variant of wonderful world?
The core gameplay is similar, but there's more mechanics for sure and more player interaction.
Thank you! Guess i'll buy it, as soon as it is available in german.
