Five games to explore...
With so many incredible games out there, it is never easy narrowing down the list. These are a few games Corey feels are absolutely worth checking out, whether for their memorable gameplay, unique ideas, or the experiences they create around the table.
Ayar: Children of the Sun
In Ayar: Children of the Sun, players take control of one of the first clans, journeying with the Ayar across the Andes. Follow their teaching and improve your skills at farming, pottery, weaving, and reed bundling. As well as advancing your own clan, you must influence the progress of the Ayar, ensuring the survival of those who reward your most developed skills. Seek the approval of Mama Quilla through long-term strategy, and please Inti with tactical play. Be careful not to earn the ire of one of these jealous gods because at the end of the game, whichever one favors you least will determine your final score.
