Picked up Sorcerer City after playing a game with a friend a few weeks ago. Game mechanics are deck building + tile placement, sort of like dominion meets carcassone. Fun game, would recommend if you're looking for something new to try over the break

what if I want to lose friends? Is it as diabolical as Catan? Asking for a friend (@todd)

I haven't played Sorcerer City, but I will say that Catan suffers from the robber mechanic. There are games where that social component (where you can be targeted) are less prevalent or impactful. I highly recommend both Terraforming Mars and Ark Nova. Some "attack" cards, but minimal. Just beautiful games.

Both those games are really good, but much steeper learning curve that intimidates people who don’t play as often

...but my comment on Catan still stands. 😆

Yeah. I have an article for @ispeaknerd.eth in the queue on "best entry games". Neither Terraforming Mars nor Ark Nova are on that list. That being said, I'll throw friends into the deep end on games I love (particularly if I think they're liable to play again or have played MTG or card games like Bridge).
