Some ButtonShy games like Sprawlopolis, Tussie Mussie, and Skulls of Sedlec are all great, especially if you don't know the experience of the people playing. Plus they're cheap, and easy to store and (usually) replace.

Flip Voyage is Steven Aramini's follow-up to Fliptown. Unfortunately, it misses out on what made that game so special. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/06/01/f...

Generally smoggier than in 2026.
Less the fun and sun capital of the world, than the smog and slog capital.
And the distances between places, due to short buildings, mountains, vacant lots?
That renders LA Sprawlopolis.
Where I live, nothing is even close to being far away.

I have a little PnP out as part of Micro May. It's a small card-drafting, tile-laying game with Carcassonne or Sprawlopolis vibes. It's called Serpentine and you can check it out here:

Finally set out to try #RainforestCity and wow, this one has a lot of depth. Think the card placement of Sprawlopolis with the ecological balancing of Rewild.

Tja, weil ich beim Ausdrucken der Dateien geschluddert hatte, werden die Kartenrücken von Ultimopolis halt zu Elefanten.

I've been trying to play a (non-digital) game a day this year, hence all the solo games.
Picked up Merv as a trade for Red Cathedral which didn't click with us. No regrets, it's a really good addition to the collection.

My 2025 board game wrapup! These are physical plays only; I don’t log digital plays (it would drive me crazy and the experience just isn’t the same).
Most played game of the year was the brilliant 2020 cooperative game Regicide, which I would love to see grow in popularity and audience.

I've played some Sprawlopolis, not so much this variant. Enjoy these games but rarely win.
