I got a lot of games to demo and review at Origins this year. I figure if I make a list, it'll help keep me honest and people can subscribe if they're curious about my opinions. I'll also add links to my reviews when they are done.
I am going to list what caught my attention with each game.

Jay is rather clever as a designer, and a fun trick taking game with a little extra theme can be a great filler game.

A different take on the similar idea of Eggs & Empires, but with different player powers. I'm curious. And I love the monster theme.

I enjoy manual dexterity games, and flicking cards off of the top of the box is a fun way to handle the theme. It's a fun and light game.

Love the art style in this game. The combination of poker hands, card abilities, and light area control really seem to work well.

I'm not big on social deduction games, but this seems to be more focused on the game and not the social aspect. Curious.

Modular boards are always intriguing to me, and set collection is fun. The press contact at Mayday suggested it, so I went along with it.

The idea of players competing to control cards and lay out cards on a grid seems like a fun combo. Then again, if it says HABA, it's generally pretty fun.

Excited for this one. Solo, competitive, or cooperative, all with one box. And being able to change on the fly? Fun. Oh, and no table required.

This intro set is a fun way to get players into the game. I like the idea of this one, even if it's a CCG. I won't collect it, but I like the starter sets.

Love the Networks, happy to see some British infusion into the game. Wondering how the game will change with this addition.

I tried this at BGG.Con a few years ago, and enjoyed it, but I want to try it again. I really want to check out the Solo mode as well.
