Lots of good choices here… FantasyForm is one of my all time favorites though
Now that we’re up and running we’re starting to ask which game is next to reprint. The first poll of many is here. You can only pick one! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Combos are delicious, but holy cow scoring this for the first time is a Herculean task.

Played Innsmouth Travel Guide and Jungo this week.
The novel idea of touring people through Innsmouth is fun, and nice thematic elements with deep ones.
Jungo does feel like a scout-lite, not quite as satisfying but perfect for a more social group.
