And actually, followup question:
I’ve taken a gander at the game Welcome To… on BGG (link: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/233867/welcome) a few times but I only have a very high level idea of what you do in it. This game seems very similar. Has anyone played both and can compare?
The tabletop game you want if you like Tiny Islands (hey David King, Switch version plz!) is this:
Welcome To… is very mathy. I like it, but it’s a whole lot of numberwork.

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed Cartographers. Roll/flip-and-writes are usually not my jam, but this one is very satisfying.
You’ll be fine Tom, we already know how good you are at percentages! (miss you buddy)
Thanks for the recommendation!
Edit: Hey I think I saw some folks in my gaming group playing this a few weeks back, I’ll have to talk to them about it.

Rising Lords by Argonwood is a game whose development I’ve been following on the rpgcodex forum. It’s a bit of Lords of the Realm mixed with HoMM, add some worker placement and turn based tactical combat waged by stacks of units represented by bobble headed guys with a dash of card and board game elements. All ingredients I like, let’s see if they all come together when it releases on or about April 24.
Here is some video of Nookrium playing and it looks promising.

The YouTube video is a lot more tolerable than that weird voice they’ve used for their trailer. Oh my goodness.
Hits all of my hot buttons. Wishlisted.
I’ve had my eye on this one for over a year. I’m glad to see it’s finally going to be out in a few months. The units look a lot like those in Battle Brothers but the game plays very differently.
Oy, vey.
In fairness, some of the reviews are terrific.
“i’m a high school teacher, I teach world history and during my WWII unit i bring the laptop cart into the classroom and let my students play this game. This game is very engaging for my students and they learn a lot about history”
“Hentai Nazi is an intense AAA shooter with deep roots in real-world events. Never before have I see a game bring realistic combat mechanics and historical accuracy together in such perfect harmony. I’ve learned more from this game than I did during my master’s program in global history”
“11/10 game of the decade.”
“No anime tiddy bounce cant reccomend”
The enemy hit detection and reaction animation looks impressive!

So characters who only have a torso has now become a thing after Battle Brothers?
They also require a head!

Interesting – I never viewed it that way. I guess they’re just not common in video games.
I get it. Feet are hard to draw.
I, for one, look forward to Thalidomide Baby Simulator, where all the characters have flippers.
Any game that lets me create things that have various abilities is a day one purchase.
