Call to Adventure, Wingspan/Wyrmspan, most of the Tiny Epic series, Coup are all solid contenders.

I like the Red Raven games but I don't really look forward to playing them because of all the set up and tear down lol, I would love them as digital products with automation.

I absolutely love Wingspan. Should I also get Wyrmspan, or would I be better off getting the last expansion or two I'm missing from Wingspan? We also love the Tiny Epic series, but we couldn't really get our group into Coup unfortunately

I like Wyrmspan because it shakes up the mechanics, but to be perfectly honest I just love dragons more than birds so the art alone practically sold me on it lol

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My partner and I prefer dragons as well. I don't mean to keep bothering you but I have a couple of questions if you don't mind

1.) Are they all different dragons with little trivia tidbits like the birds?

2.) Do you know if it plays well at two players? We really appreciated the Asia expansion for catering to that specifically

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No bother at all! They are all different dragons with wonderful original art, but the cards don't have trivia. There is a "dragons facts sheet" thing that's included just as flavour.

Might not be the best person to answer the latter, as my partner and I played an absolute crap ton of Wingspan just the two of us and thought it played fine enough, even without the Asia expansion.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We enjoyed the original as well, we just super enjoyed that they focused on it. I'm kind of sad no trivia on the cards. I know I'll end up with the game eventually. Love their stuff. Scythe and Viticulture are also in our library

I've got the digital version of scythe but haven't gotten around to trying it.

It's good when you want something real meaty and strategic
