My top game from 2018 is definitely Western Legends, what a fantastic sandbox game. I love the combination of encounter driven quests, unique characters and all the thematic options for things to do on your turn. Last time I played we had a relatively close game where all three of us took entirely different actions (I played a bunch of poker, drove cattle and spent the money at the saloon, one player went bandit trying to rob us and the other went marshall trying to arrest him.) I'd put it up there with Xia among great sandbox games. (With the expansion Xia has a really fun solo and cooperative campaign mode, if Western Legends ever added something like that it would easily be in my top 10 of all time.) Architects of the West Kingdom is probably number 2. One thing I like about it that wasn't mentioned in the video is it has a fairly fun solo mode built into the game with its own character board and AI character action deck. (I really appreciate games that work well solo, it gives me extra chances to play them even if my game groups are playing other stuff.) I'm not as much into competitive, dry Euros but Architects has some really interesting mechanics and has tons of replayability. I definitely like this game better than Raiders of the North Sea! Not too much else from this year really wowed me a ton. - I have Root but haven't had a chance to play it yet and generally speaking I like dungeon crawl games like Vast better than territory control games like Root so I'm skeptical I'll like it as much as Vast. - Village Attacks is a fun cooperative game where you are monsters protecting a castle from hordes of angry villagers. Unfortunately I've only been able to play the introductory scenario so far so it's hard to say how much I'll like the fuller scenarios. - I'll also give honorable mention to Spell Smashers for being a fun mix of word game, deck builder and monster fighter. It plays almost like a fantasy themed crunchier version of Paperback which is one of my favorite games on the iPad. Spell Smashers is a bit of a weird niche for a game (people who don't like fantasy won't like the theme, and people who are heavy gamers don't usually like word games) but I enjoyed it. - Finally there was Arkham Horror 3rd edition which I thought was one of the fun games this year but (without getting into details) I like my top two games of the year and Eldritch Horror a bit better.

Hi all, so I love video games. Played a lot of board games as a kid and would like to get back into it. Bought arkham horror a few years back because the lore sounded awesome, but was hard to learn and dont have many friends that were willing to try and learn with me. Watched a few videos and excited to give it another try. Anyone have any suggestions of two player board games that might be good for someone in my situation? Dont know which niche if any particular style of game that I enjoy unfortunately. A few for me and my girlfriend (who has zero patience). We have enjoyed Catan and train to ride. And a few for me and a friend who has much more patience to take time if slightly more difficult, but also was the one who failed miserably with me trying to figure out Arkham. Thanks in advance!
