This was my GOTY for 2019.
That might sound silly, since it's a web browser game from itch.io and it's deceptively simple. Based on pen and paper card games, Tiny Islands is a game I play literally every day. I sit down at work, I open a slack channel I've had open since 2019 where a new thread is ready and waiting with the daily challenge, and I play until I get at least over 60 points and then I post a screenshot of my scores and see if any of my peers in my friend group can beat me. It's one of those "simple to play/difficult to master" games and I love it, and a play through is just the right thing to get me into the mood for sitting down for a day at the office.
