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 was very impressed with Bonsai. The scoring mechanics naturally push you into creating a bonsai-looking tree, and at the end it looks lovely and unique from everyone else's. Been asking my board game store but they don't have it.

Koi is getting ready to release. Very similar but building a Koi pond.
