Kaptiv8 Games

What is a cozy game? I would say it's a game that has low stress, comforting aesthetics, a peaceful theme and friendly competition.

These are 10 games to help you relax after a hard day at work, but still offer meaningful decisions.

Pergola published @rebelstudio.eu - A fun puzzly game of creating a lovely garden of plants and flowers to attract butterflies and other insects.

Honey Buzz published @elfcreekgames - build your hive from tiles you'll draft with your "beeples". Gorgeous table presence and comfortable gameplay.

Kanō published @studiomatagot - games don't get much cozier than this one: draft paint pots, convert them into ornate polyomino tiles and fill your scroll for points. Super chill 🍧

Hanami published @keymastergames - this is a Reiner Knizia game of where you're placing tiles in parks, scoring from blossoms, rice balls and lanterns. Beautiful on the table and very simple to play.

Aspens published @ludivoregames - each turn you're planting trees until the board is full. Super simple game you can learn in about 5 minutes.

A Place for All My Books published @smirkanddagger - place a worker, collect some books, place them onto your shelves and complete projects. I wasn't sure this was my cup of tea, but then I played it and wow, this game is great.

Tokaido published @stonemaiergames - while taking a journey in Japan collect items, discover beautiful panoramas, visit temples and enjoy fine meals.

Spectacular published @chilifox_games - you'll draft dice or tiles from a supply board and then pass the board to another player. It's a competitive game yet feels kind of neighborly 🙂.

Foxglove Farm published @alleycatgames - draft buildings with special powers and connect them with roads to build out your settlement. Chill gameplay yet thinky.

Everdell Emerland published @playtycoongames - I chose Emerland but all of the Everdell versions are cozy. The art, cute critters, theme and simple worker-placement all work together to create a fun, pleasant experience.
