Glad you are enjoying it :)

@DJMcMayhem yeah, I'm stuck on Expert Scenarios: Expert Bot Challenge I

I really struggle getting things going faster than the bots, and I don't know why

I haven't done very any expert scenarios. I started one but didn't do a whole lot

I really like the prismata puzzles, especially the campaign expert challenges

Finally managed to win with the Ironclad (on my fourth attempt). My deckbuilding kinda felt all over the place, but the deck still worked somehow.

Oh, fifth attempt even.

It's also kinda funny that the relic I got from Neow which had been annoying me a fair bit throughout the run ended up being a bit of a blessing with the final boss.

Looking for recommendations for co-operative board games. We like Pandemic, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Forbidden Desert, Mansions of Madness, and codenames. Any other good ones you can think of?

Oh, also Dragon fire and Harry Potter: Battle for Hogwarts are fun

I haven't played any of those, but I've enjoyed all of Gloomhaven, Legacy of Dragonholt and T.I.M.E. Stories (and I'm about to receive my copy of 7th Continent which I'm super excited for).

Legacy of Dragonholt is basically a cross of a choose-your-own-adventure and DM-less D&D. It's very light on the "game" part, but tells a pretty fantastic story.

Gloomhaven is of course very heavy on the game part, so you'll only want to play it with people who don't mind complicated rules and challenging games, but it's my favourite game by a landslide (and I've never sunk this amount of time into a board game, and probably not even into a video game).

And T.I.M.E. stories is somewhere in between. It's fairly puzzle-y and story-heavy. But it's also designed to be almost unbeatable on the first attempt (you'll need 2-3), and after you've beaten it there isn't really any replay value so you'll need to start buying expansions (which I haven't played but which I'm told are also very good).

@MartinEnder Mansions of Madness is very similar to that. It's pretty lite on rules because all of the complicated rules are dictated by the phone app

@MartinEnder I have played this one. It was super fun. We did happen to beat it on the first try, but that's because 2/4 players had played it before. Thankfully they were pretty good about not spoiling it and letting us experience it for the first time

Actually, that reminds me: has anyone played Betrayal at House on the Hill/Baldur's Gate? It's a great 60-ish minute game for 3-5 people.

It starts out cooperative with no map, and then the board fills out randomly as you explore. And then ends up being 1) All the players against one of the players turned traitor and given a bunch of new powers and an unknown motive 2) All players vs the environment, or 3) all the players vs an unknown traitor, mafia/werewolf style.
