kmusserGames played: 7 Wonders (x2), Agricola, Can't Stop, Dominant Species, Eminent Domain (x4 at least), Race for the Galaxy (x2), Roll Through the Ages (x2), Troyes
The big new game was definitely Eminent Domain, a sort of combination of Dominion and Glory to Rome/Race for the Galaxy with a space exploration theme. I liked it, in many ways simpler than its parent games (or at least easier to explain), it still has enough depth to keep it interesting and will probably gain more with the inevitable expansion. This will be at Brunswick Games Day.
The only other new to me game I played was Troyes, a very Euro, worker placement kind of game, where your workers are dice. It has an interesting scoring mechanic in which in player secretly knows one element that will be worth points in the end game - but those apply to everyone, so it's worth trying to figure out what your opponents have so that you can work towards those points as well. Will play again, but not a must buy.
