●King of board games “Settlers of Catan”
Let's start with this title.A masterpiece created by Klaus Teuber in 1995.“Settlers of Catan”is. It is probably one of the most famous board games in the world.
Players take on the role of settlers and leave their alter egos on a pristine land. Roll the dice every turn, and if the number matches the land number managed by your clone, you can obtain the resources produced there. Use those resources to build roads and cities, and aim to obtain more resources and victory points.By the way, these mechanics“Expanded reproduction”It is called.
As the game progresses, resource imbalances will naturally emerge between players.The solution to this problem is“negotiation”That's how it works. Players can exchange resources at any time they like. But be careful. A trade that benefits the player at the top will only widen the gap in the end, even if it's good for you…!
It's a classic, so you can find it in any shop, and depending on the rental space, it may even be kept there. Please check each one.

-Give accurate hints and clear the mission Trick-taking masterpiece “The Crew: Ruins in the Deep Sea”
Next up is a relatively new title.“The Crew: Ruins in the Deep Sea”With the title, it is a slightly difficult game.
This game is similar to the so-called Trump millionaire rules.“Trick Taking”The game employs a mechanic called “Golden Cards'' where everyone plays cards, and the person who plays the strongest card takes all the cards on the field.
…If you ask me, wouldn't it be possible to win if you have a lot of strong cards like a millionaire? You may think so, but this work is not a fighting game,cooperative gameThat's it. What I mean by that is that the goal is for everyone to clear the mission.
The contents of the mission are to win XX times with any color, so-and-so must never win in any color, or to obtain a specific card.A millionaire who systematically makes someone winThat's what it means!
Of course, you can't just talk about the cards you have, and you can only give hints once during the game! What should I say so everyone can win? How should I make sense of the information I received? Please enjoy the ultimate trick-taking experience where you have to read the psychology of others, their hands, and the game's development in order to play the cards perfectly.
●Are you a traitor? Who will disturb the rules of the Round Table? “Quest: The Story of the Eternal King''
Now“Hide identity”Let's also recommend this very popular genre.This is the so-called“Among Us”It's a game similar to genres like wolf, werewolf, and murder mysteries, where you disguise your true identity, secretly defeat players on the good side, and clear missions while getting past the interference of the bad side. It's a type of game.
“Quest: The Story of the Eternal King”is a game based on the legend of King Arthur. To begin with, all players will be randomly shown which side they belong to. Arthur's camp belongs to the righteous side and aims to make the quest a success several times, while Mordred's camp belongs to the evil side and aims to make the quest fail.
Each round, the leader selects members to go on a quest, and they submit cards that will determine the success or failure of the quest, again hidden away. If all the cards are success, the quest is completed, and if there is even one failure card, the quest ends in failure…
After doing a few rounds of the quest, you'll find yourself saying, “When A and B did it, it was a success, but when B and C did it, it was a failure…Isn't C suspicious?'' Information will increase as time goes on. Make accurate deductions based on them and uncover who Mordred's faction is. On the other hand, Mordred's faction should hide the failure cards so they won't be found out…!
Games of this type tend to have a lot of omissions, but there are no such elements in this work, and you can enjoy an exciting mystery battle from beginning to end.When the time comesThe excitement of deceiving peoplePlease try it out (in the game).
