Since my last update, I have purchased Dead of Winter and Tales of the Arabian Nights.

Dead of Winter: Hard to beat; the game usually wins. In a post zombie world, resources are limited, and players are isolated at a colony. There are many characters, each with different abilities. At the beginning of the game, a secret objective is given to each player, with the possibility that someone might be a traitor. There are many different objectives, and traitor cards, so you can't really determine who is telling the truth. Often, there is a colony vote, and you vote with thumbs up or down based on what is said, and you can choose to Exile someone, based on votes. If someone is exiled, they draw a new Exiled Objective. Anyways, it's a good game, highly recommend.

Tales of the Arabian Nights: I've only played this through once so far. This is a very random game, and kind of like choose your own adventure. Depending on which skills you choose, what you encounter, and what you choose to do, based on a matrix of options leads you to the book of tales, which is a gigantic spiral bound tome of 2000 something choices. This is where the skills you started the game with, or have earned, come into play. I liked the first game a lot, and I think it would be impossible to have the same outcome more than once. Recommend.
