Tried out Wondrous Creatures tonight. It's a bit light for my taste, almost like a family weight Ark Nova without the map building. Your actions are either gathering resources (with ridiculously overproduced meeples), playing up to two cards, claiming an achievement, or recalling your three gatherers. Like most games of this style it boasts a large deck and public draft, attempting to find all the suits you need to score objectives first.

I think I stand by my first impression of "Ark Nova without teeth". Would be a good family game though. #boardgames

Out of the 100 or so board games that I picked up a few days, only 3 were missing a lot of parts, a couple were missing easy replaceable parts.

One of my friends has a 3D scanner, and after a little messing around, we were able to get a pretty good scan of one of the player tokens from Cranium Turbo Edition - and I printed the 2 missing tokens - the bases were the only thing that didn't work well.
Also printed tokens for Pictionary.

Finally got The Plum Island Horror to the table!

Setup and rules absorption took a couple hours, and the rulebook is clunky with essential bits scattered all over the place, but once we had the system down the game proceeded smoothly.

Theme was less pulp and more of an 80s horror comedy vibe, but that worked out well with the group and sets it apart further from the Serious Business apocalypse in Luttmann’s more brutal Dawn of the Zeds.
