| Castles of Burgundy

Found a great new Eurogame that my wife and I have been greatly enjoying, The Castles of Burgundy. You're princes trying to build the most fancy estate. You each get a player board that represents your estate and there's a central board where everyone is acquiring buildings and other tiles to bring to their land. Each turn your roll 2d6 and that determines what actions you can take . Pretty basic stuff but you have a lot of different ways to plot for victory points. Similar mellow vibe as something like Kingom Builder although its denser. There's some iconography to get familiar with.

Conan

Screw the haters, I really liked the Conan remake from last year. It got horrible reviews but it's a gory blast. Khal Drogo is great and the action is really good. It's fucking CONAN! I don't know  what they expected. Much more interesting than the Scorpion King flicks or the Pirates of the Caribeeans.
