Board Games

Last weekend we played another game we picked up at GenCon, Last Light.  Released in 2023 by Grey Fox Games after a Kickstarter, and is now available to LGS with a few exceptions.  Nine of the thirty four playable races are exlusive promos and the 8-player expansion hasn't moved to retail yet.  We were able to find the 8-player expansion and higher quality pieces from the Grey Fox Games booth.

The story of the game is that our White Dwarf sun is burning out, so we are in a wild race to acquire as much LIGHT (victory points) as possible before that happens. The first person to hit 20 will trigger the end game and at the end of that turn whoever has the most LIGHT wins.  Last Light is a 4x game with a rotating board where players will take mostly simultaneous turns determined by the 6 available action cards.  Each turn players will play one of their remaining action cards and in card order (and turn order when necessary) will

Today's tasty treat is a review / how to play of Dungeon Kart, a racing game (a lot of these are popping up recently) and a very clear homage to Mario Kart.  To be honest this is could have been pitched to Nintendo, and when they declined, they changed the names of some things to get around copyrights.  I bought this at GenCon a few weeks ago.  Our play group fluctuates between 3 and 8 people, so we have spent quite a lot of time looking for games that can fit 8 and not just be a party game.  That being said, we have already established that this will likely be a staple party game.  I mean what's better than throwing a red shell fireball at a once friend because he cruised by you and dropped a banana zombie in your only path forward?  Buckle up, because seatbelts are absolutely required, crashing is inenvitable.

TLDR: The most popular things from what I saw / games you should consider looking at:
Arcs was everywhere.  We had already played it before we went down, but if we hadn't we would have checked it out for sure.  Shut up and sit down drove this home in a YouTube video series.
The Gang is a cooperative game where you're playing poker.  There's more to it than that, but that's what I heard as the "selling points"  We couldn't get any because we woke up late every day.
Rock Hard 1977 Sex drugs and rock and roll baby!  This game was very hyped all weekend, similar to The Gang we weren't able to pick any up.
