Day 1 - Carcassonne
Day 2 - Azul
Day 3 - Trivial Pursuit
Day 4 - Rummikub
Day 5 - Doctor Who Fluxx
Day 6 - Kingdomino / Queendomino
Day 7 - Lords of Waterdeep
Day 8 - Splendor
Day 9 - Codewords
Day 10 - Labyrinth
Day 11 - Talisman
Day 12 - Machi Koro incl harbour expansion
Day 13 - 221b Baker Street
Day 14 - Pandemic!

That lot should keep our spirits up whilst in enforced isolation - when that time comes.

I only have Deep Sea Adventure at hand...

...besides Carcassonne...

I like islands and citadels

I like "ilôs" and "citadelles"

I don't own Alhambra, so we'll have to try to work together to save the world.

I heard Pandemic is a great collaborative game. Haven't tried it yet though.

Another option is to play Carcassonne with a Campaign approach by Whaleyland!

Today I arrived in Argentina.
After not being allowed in, we managed to get in on an exception issued by the immigration officer, with the condition that we of course self isolate for 2 weeks (which we planned for)
Luckily I brought my trusty Travel Carcassonne box (base game+exp.1&2), Jaipur and a deck of cards.
So let's see how long those will last us!

Have fun during the self-imposed isolation...

You can also work on some fan expansions...

What do you think of Deep Sea Adventure? I've been looking at it and watched a playthrough ... Now that I have, I'm not sure that it has enough replayability. The mechanic is certainly interesting, but it feels like I might be playing it on autopilot quite soon. How have you found it?

Meepledrone · « **Reply #11 on:** March 15, 2020, 04:38:29 PM »

Haven't unboxed it yet... I showed my wife some videos on it and she is eager to play it.

I'll keep you posted with our thoughts...

A great looking list - how about shifting Doctor Who Fluxx to Day 13 to celebrate the 13th Doctor expansion pack?

Hi Meepledrone, yes we could do that. I received this expansion for Christmas, we have the war doctor too.

As you will have guessed we are basically gateway gamers. Nothing too involved. As we are now going to be incarcerated for 12 weeks I will be raiding the loft for more variety. Game of Life, Spy Ring and Go for Broke could well get dust blown off the boxes.
