A handful of colored dice are rolled at the start of every turn and players, in turn, choose dice to add to their windows. At the start of every game, random pattern cards are revealed that show how players will score for that game. In Sagrada players draft dice and use the tools-of-the-trade to carefully construct their stained glass windows. If you love dice games in your family, we highly recommend you check out Sagrada. Our Kingdoms have a lot more going on in Queendomino. Queendomino builds on the basics and adds a new terrain type, buildings, knights, a Queen, and a Dragon! And when placing a tile, at least one of the sides needs to match a similar terrain already in the kingdom.

The games have “domino” in the name because each tile has two portions. Queendomino is a follow-up to the fun game, Kingdomino, from 2016. Queendomino is a fun tile-laying game where players construct their own kingdom made up of different terrain types and territories. The cutest donuts around also make for a very fun game. Since it’s available for less than $10 on, we highly recommend you grab a copy. It’s a fun and quick game that we’ve played over and over since getting it for Christmas. If more than one player selected the same number, nobody gets that donut and it’s discarded! The rest of the donuts are collected and any actions on the collected cards are carried out. Then all players reveal their choices at the same time. Once set out, players secretly and simultaneously choose which one they want by placing their corresponding number card face down in front of them.
#THE BEST BOARD GAMES OF 2017 PLUS#
Each round, donut cards are set out in a row with one donut below each number (# players plus 1). The crux of the game though is in how players collect their donut cards. Each type of donut scores points in different ways and some donuts even dish out negative points. In Go Nuts for Donuts, players collect different types of donuts to score points. The reason it shot on to this list is because it’s fun to play. Of course, we’re not just saying this game is at the top of our list because of the cute donut artwork, but that is a fun factor. Go Nuts for Donuts is a fun and light card game for families that also has the cutest donuts you’ll ever see. Now let’s get on with which family board games, published in 2017, we’ve enjoyed the most as a family… It’s also been a great way for me to find and make new friends. I love looking at that stat because it reminds me why I play board games – because I like enjoying face-to-face time with others. It’s also fun for me to note that I played games with 87 different people and in 17 different locations during 2017. The games I played the most in 2017 were: That year I recorded playing 449 total games. I hope to do a lot more of that this year as well.Īs far as total game plays, my tally for 2017 was 297.Īgain comparing to 2016, it’s a big drop off. So it’s a lot of fun to just go back to games I already know and love from the past. As a game reviewer, new games are constantly before me. That’s because I set out at the start of the year to play more games I’ve enjoyed from the past. That statistic drop is one I’m very happy about. In 2016, 71% of the games I played were new. So it still holds that the majority of my game playing is with new games – but just barely at 52%. Of the different games I played last year, 70 were games I played for the first time. In 2016 I played 183 different games! Of course, the large amount in 2016 had a big boost from going to Gen Con 2016. Comparing to last year, it’s a huge drop off. But perhaps not so much to regular visitors to our site. In 2017, I played 134 different board games!įor most people, that will sound like a ton of games. And any little time I have for games, I’ve opted to play them instead of write about them.Īs I’ve done for many years on our website, I like taking time to look back at the past year of our game experiences and take stock.

I’m a bit slow on getting this out mainly because I got a new job at the start of January and it’s taking almost all my time coming up to speed on everything related to my new job. Most my time spent outside of that is trying to keep up with family duties and church service. Ok, so we may be a little late on wishing everyone a Happy New Year since we’re already 3 weeks into 2018. Go Nuts for Donuts is one of our favorite family games from 2017.
