Arkham Horror 3rd Edition. I was quite apprehensive since I hated 1st edition, but my friend is a huge Lovecraft Mythos fan so it hit the table. When I saw how different it was, I was much less nervous, and I had a good time. We played Focusing wrong for a bit before correcting. We ended up losing, but had a pretty good time. I’d play it again.
Spirit Island: Nature Incarnate. Played with just two people after Arkham. We are more experienced than the other players so we tried the thematic map. Whew, boy can that thing screw you over. Our first game was over in about 3 turns because my spirit couldn’t grow to the board all the invaders were in. Attempt two, I replaced one of the growth powers and was able to respond to the early explores this time. My board had a couple explorers at the end of the game as my teammate scrambled to survive. I wish I could help more, but it was enough. I think thematic map is probably better with more spirits.
