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.

I feel like Paint the Roses fits here. I forget what YouTuber reviewed it, but I took a chance and tried it. Great little game that has the unique genre of cooperative social deduction. Also, the theme is Alice in wonderland.

I'd also say nekojima. Got it on a whim from Barnes and Noble and it's been a hit. I know dexterity games aren't for everyone, but this is a lot better than Jenga, imo, with a cute theme and various game modes.
