We were on holiday last week and mostly played scout, which is really nice with multiple people. We also purchased buttons and bugs (gloomhaven) and played a 2 player variant. It works quite well if you respawn all monsters, but it is also insanely tight, most of the time we win in the last turn and need some good luck.

We have received the Santorini jickstarter including Riddle of the Sphinx. Really nice coop puzzler that feels just the right amount of challenging.

We also have been playing quite a lot of Marvel Champions, as we recently added Storm and Iceman to our roster. Really like their niche abilities and interactions.

We have about 40 games under our belts, most acts with 2 people take about an hour. First time runs with new folks takes about 1,5 to 2 if they are really slow. Mostly the pace is picked up after the first act. Less new things to learn etc. I would expect it to get faster, but it i s still a 4 hour game if you play it in 1 seating.

After a whole playthrough of gloomhaven and Jotl, we finally learned in Frosthaven that crit and negate cards reshuffle the whole deck, not just that card. Same for ability cards. Our games normally ended with the minion deck either always critting, or missing. We justified it by thinking it was an intended clock by the developers, to make sure the end was extra difficult… all those games are such a breeze now :p
