Although breaking release dates should be frowned upon. I would have been in a world of shit for doing so when I used to run Magic the Gathering tournaments. (game is Undaunted: North Africa)

♪♫ Synge ♪♫ Jul 2020 1:03pm, 8 Jul 2020 34,982 posts	0 ♪♫ Synge ♪♫ Never played this, but I remember it was launched in 2007, the first year I went to the Spiel game fair in Essen. Apparently it has a fair bit more luck than many Eurogames. Look forward to hearing about it.
Perfect Organism Jul 2020 9:57pm, 8 Jul 2020 695 posts	0 Perfect Organism I've just bought Marvel champs on a bit of a whim. Wife isn't into board games as much as I, and lockdown has deprived me of some of those, so I felt Marvel would provide me with a medium-heavy solo game that I can play co-op once lockdown eases.

When you have to battle another pirate ship you throw dice and he mainly lost. I love the style of it, and it zipped along once we got the hang of it.
