Board Game Arena

Anno 1602 Well, the most obvious one would be Catan I guess? Or is that already in the "too complicated" bucket for you? Splendor was certainly a good mention. Given you have a taste for abstract games, I can imagine Harmonies could be one you would enjoy a lot. Also Castle Combo is a pre...

The one game that comes to mind is Happy City which is a very simple city builder. , Also Dice Forge and The Builders: Middle Ages / The Builders: Antiquity might be up your alley, all these are among the simpler engine builders. If you are looking more for spatial recognition / area expansion, then...

Here is a quirky two-stage tournament that I created and that is still running. https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=567401 It tells us a little bit about what happens when fewer than the intended number of players register in a two-stage tournament.

You guessed it, the Harmonies Summer League is coming! It includes 3 tournaments of Harmonies - no spirits, 2p.
