10 Most Beautiful Board Games
This is the Collection Starter and here are the 10 Most Beautiful Board Games Ever Made.
3. Lotus
Don’t let Lotus fool you.
It might be a beautiful-looking game, whereby you’re assembling flowers on the table with cards, arranging them piece by piece, before decorating them with these whimsical wooden bug pieces, but also Lotus is one mean son of a bitch.
Like a yogi with anger management issues, hidden under this serene exterior, rages a bitter little area control game.
You’re racing to build these flowers together you see, everyone’s contributing cards, but only the one person who ends up controlling the flower when it’s built actually gets the points for it. You can spend ages building this perfect Lily, only for someone to swoop in with their bug tokens (not so cute now) say, nice flower, I’ll take it and waltz away with your points.
How can something so beautiful looking and ostensibly calming be so cruel?
