Recap of the week: Lots of non-gaming busyness around here but we did get in a decent number of plays including New York Zoo, Silver Bullet, Spicy, Botanik, and Arboretum. Only one new to us game which means we were definitely playing our shelves.

Botanik continues to be our favorite, quick, 2-player go to game. If you haven’t given this one a go, you definitely should.

This week’s wishlist: The Grand Carnival, Ex Libris, Clank!

Fingers crossed for a good gaming week! What is everyone else playing?

Definitely hoping to play through the rest of our great grabs from PAX East but also really inspired to dig out some other games that have been too long on the shelves.  Some of these we haven’t ever brought to the table despite our best intentions.  So for this weekend our wishlist includes:

Hero Realms – Got to speak with a few people at the booth about this and after revisiting the rules we are really wondering why this hasn’t ever gotten to the table.  Given our undying love for Star Realms (so much game packed into such a small box!) we have a lot of guilt for letting this one slip by us.

Fury of Dracula – Now I know why this hasn’t hit the table, despite how long we’ve had it.  It’s a combination of it being a big game and needing more players.  But player numbers be damned, we’re going to tackle this one this weekend.  There’s a fun new episode of TableTop with Wil Wheaton playing and we are inspired to keep this one from lurking in the shadows.

What’s on your list? What do you hope to play this weekend?  Something new? An old favorite?

What games are you looking to bring to the table this weekend?  I know that we always seem to plan way more than we manage to play.  Much to our collective dismay, life sometimes happens.

This weekend we’re definitely hoping for another round of The Bloody Inn.  After that the list includes Pandemic, Orleans and a bit of Dominion.

What’s on your Weekend Wishlist?  Trying something new or revisiting an old favorite?
