Cluedo
I haven't played Cluedo since I was a kid, but I always remember enjoying it, so now that there's a version included with the relaunched Amazon Luna (albeit prominently given its US title, Clue, even on Luna UK, and even though the official website manages to call it Cluedo... but anyway), we decided to give it a go. It was... awkward.
The game doesn't do enough to tell you how to play — fortunately I could remember the basics from when I was a kid, but I had to talk my partner (who'd never played) through it as I remembered, rather than the gaming doing it for us (apparently there is an option to display the rules, but it's hidden rather than being offered freely). Controlling it on a little phone screen was kinda tricky — it makes sense for the idea of a party game, where everyone can just whip out their phone and join in, but the interface is a little fiddly at that size. It also didn't scratch the proper board game itch — you're still sat in front of the TV, not getting away from it to play a game. I can see it would work for some people, but it didn't for us.
Oh well, worth a go.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle
Game 7 (of 7)
It took a good few hours to get there, just because of how long it takes (or takes us, anyway) to work through the mechanics and processes of this game, but we beat this on the first attempt without really struggling. Which is kinda fine by me.
