For a long time now, I have been bringing games out last minute to CC to feel a void or niche. I am going to get back to scheduling games that I need to get to teh table. Let's start with...

This is my first play so it will be a learning game. If you are interested, you can always check out Rahdo's Run Through:

I'm bringing out the dice/card drafting/worker placement game Artifacts Inc. to play on Tuesday. It's from designer Ryan Laukat (City of Iron, Ancient World, Above & Below). Players are archaeologists trying to find various artifacts and earn reputation by selling them to museums or completing other tasks. Your adventurers are represented by dice that you manipulate to win (buying cards and using their powers as you go).

It's a fun game and pretty straightforward so everyone's welcome to play. It takes about an hour but with teaching I'd put it at 70min.

I'm bringing out the game La Granja on Tuesday. Players try and make the best country estate (which happens to be determined by victory points) over 6 rounds. You play cards to your farm either adding fields (producing crops), extensions (getting your more stables, money or crops), market barrows (that you can fill and take to market) or helpers (that give you powers). The neat thing is that every card has all four options (a la Glory to Rome) and you have to decide how best to use it. There's also some dice drafting each round, area control through the market place and bonus tiles that you can get by delivering goods to local businesses. It has a lot of mechanisms going on and they come together in a really great, fun way.

The game plays up to 4 and I'm fine going with the full amount. It has quite a bit to it and is a little heavy so it might not be for everyone. But if you like medium or medium-heavy weight euros then you'll probably dig this (I'm not big on heavier games and I love it). A game takes around 120 minutes but with teaching it will likely add about 15 minutes on top of that.
