Here are my top five board games in the month of July out of the 25 new games I played. Bunny Kingdom Town is a two-player version of the great game Bunny Kingdom. In that game, you were drafting cards. Here, you are drafting tiles and then building out your town area with tiles and getting these scoring cards. One round is a cooperative party game a little bit like Just One. You'll start with random words as clues and numbers. You'll draw a new number and you have to give your teammates clues so they can put the number between the right numbers. In Campania, you're placing dice behind privacy screens to send workers out to spots on the board to fight for control of those spots. And if you have control, you get resources and abilities and there's a lot of engine building, building cards, building upgrades that get you more points and stuff. This is definitely a game I prefer at a higher player count, though. Beach Bandits is a little card game with a really fun central premise. Each card in the game is dual use. You can either give it away to an opponent to get a special ability or you can keep it yourself to get set collection points. The Game Makers is a board game literally meant for board game nerds, so obviously I'm going to like it. But besides just the theme about making board games, I like that it's this really big impressive game, but it's actually not that hard to teach. Every resource you get in the game can either be used for an upgrade or can be used to build more board games. And so, it every turn is pretty fast, but it still feels big and

impressive.
