Were they new games?
Were you surprised with how much you enjoyed one of them?
Did you test out a new genre of boardgame this year?

Forgot to mention, we have some games that have been purchased but not played yet!
Root looks really cool with the asymmetric factions and the number of expansions available.
Windward looks interesting, but I haven’t gone through the rules of it yet.
I’m personally looking forward to Brink next year, from IV Studios. They put a lot of care into their games, and I think my group may enjoy the format of it more than Moonrakers.
You can try out Brink on Tabletop Simulator right now. I managed a playthrough not long ago, it definitely needs a “test run” for everyone to get familiar with the rules, I felt like a lot of things felt too expensive or didn’t feel balanced but I’m guessing we didn’t know how to optimize our turns well enough. It doesn’t have the same kind of player interaction that Moonrakers does but I’d play it again
I’ve gone through the quick overview, but haven’t played any. My friend group has some people who aren’t into PC games, so I haven’t really tested it out over there.
Our group really likes to find ways to make optimal plays with small advantages that eventually can snowball, so I’m hoping the exploration and randomization will help shift things up game to game, while the voting and stuff can result in good bluffs and social interaction.
