Abyss
The Abyss power is once again vacant, so the time has come to get your hands on the throne and its privileges. Use all of your cunning to win or buy votes in the Council. Recruit the most influential Lords and abuse their powers to take control of the most strategic territories. Finally, impose yourself as the only one able to rule the Abyssal people!

A fun card-driven game that's a bit lighter than I expected, but definitely enjoyable. I'm not sure how much depth there is to this one, but I could see this one rising in my estimation as the auction adds interactivity and the lords and locations have plenty of combinations.

New family favorite! The combination of push-your-luck (and sniping), set collection, and tactical leader selection in an accessible format makes this a great game for what it is.

Rating could be anything from 6 to 10. I'm setting it to 9 after one play because I won. ;) If I lose next time, it'll go down to an 8. ;) Honestly, though, this is again a very well rounded game by Mr. Catala, which combines simple game mechanics ("Go fish" in this case, a simple bidding mechanic in Cyclades) with elegant design, which is a breeze to play. I like it!
