7th Night

A fairly competitive 2-player area majority + hand management game. We took it to a camp and my kid and I played it over 10 games in a row. So simple but clever. One of our favorites as a light, short game.

"Yeah, I really like 7th Night! It's probably my favorite of the doujin games (and 20+ plays so far really helps cement that). I think it's a neat, smart little game (similar to Maskmen at 2), and I really like what it does with limited resources in the space it occupies. A 9.25 seems ambitious, I think, but I don't really have any problems with the game, per se, and that's after 20 plays! I think it's quick and sharp, and it requires players to essentially engage in a complex dance, moving back and forth over seven spaces while vying for control of them. I've tried some similar games (Hatsuden, Hanamikoji), and I think this one is my favorite of them all for just streamlining it. There's not a whole lot of extra things happening in the game beyond "play the cards you can play and then move", and I think that really speaks to me. I generally have a soft spot for some simple games (Catch the Moon, for instance), so it's nice to find another one for the permanent collection. I just wish it came in a normal box. If you're looking for a really fun two-player game and you'd like to go head-to-head, I'd overwhelmingly recommend 7th Night! It's a rock-solid fixture of my collection."

Cute little filler in the realm of Battle line or Hanamikoji

Have re-themed this (4 different themes now) and enjoy very much as an elegant little filler.
