I played Wingspan a couple months ago with a friend of mine who is into board games...

He told me that it was rated the top game of 2020 (I think). After a couple hours of having absolutely no idea what the heck I was doing, I realized I probably need to just stick to Sorry, Parcheesi, Life, Clue, etc.

I can't believe how boring and stupid it was.

If you're into hidden movement games, try Letters from Whitechapel or Whitehall

Also check out Spector Ops. It's a more modern version of clue the museum caper.

I used to own that one. I think Letters is better, but Spectre is fun
