1 SPACE PARK
Space Park is the first game on the list, and I’ve started with it as it’s a great way to lift off for an evening, with simple tactics, a tiny sprinkle of luck, and a lot of opportunities to block other players on your way to victory. It’s a pleasingly lightweight game about galaxy jumping and collecting gems that’s about as far from the drudgery of Earth life as you can get. The cards, art and graphics are beautiful and it comes with satisfyingly chunky spaceships that you can rocket off to different spots on the board. See you there, mine’s a bright green Space Burger!
