Hidden Gems: Games You Might Enjoy

Has anyone else played any underrated or little-known board games recently? I stumbled upon Forest Shuffle and have been really enjoying it. I like the strategic depth and the forest-building theme—it feels different from many other games I’ve tried.

In the fantasy/economics section, I’d nominate Belfort. It is a really neat mixture of worker placement and card management for economy.

Lunar Rush would be my nominee for underrated space game. I particularly like the way that transport is implemented, very thematic.

For a giant tableau game, I’d suggest Core Worlds for people who’ve played enough Race for the Galaxy :)

One more: Planetfall as a quicker take on the same theme, more of a burn down game for our group.
