I played my new arrivals.
Small Fjords is just adorable. Everything is just right. Box size, art, rules, relaxed tile puzzle for one or possibly even a good game for two. I admit I have not read the two player rules. I have no other game of this size that has hexagon tiles. 
Kokeshi has some box air issues. Meh.
And the rulebook could be clearer especially the solo mode. But after my 2nd game I think I have understood how to play. It’s teachable. Strategy is a bit opaque at first but acceptable. The tiles are very nice and the iconography is simple. The basic game consists of building up 5 tracks with those tiles and each turn you activate one track and hope for a cascade of effects. Very nice combo opportunities that probably reveal itself after a few games. The solo presents a satisfying puzzle with the bot forcing the player to manipulate activations so that the bot does not gain tiles on all tracks equally.
Also the theme is paper thin.
