How is everyone's gaming going during this pandemic? Are you all playing anything fun online?

I had been meeting friends weekly and playing on BoardGameArena. We usually find something new and try them out. My favorite games to play on there so far has been Can't Stop and For Sale.
Though this Pandemic time has given me lots of opportunity to buy/play new games with my kids. We are currently going through Hogwarts Battle.

My gaming group and I have done a LOT of gaming on Tabletopia. There are good games available for free, and a LOT of good games available for a modest $10 a month charge. I am getting way more than $10 a month of value. I plan to keep my tabletopia subscription even after the pandemic is under control, for other special occasions. Sometimes we want to play, but the host has contagious children, or someone has a sick spouse they need to stay near, or a major storm is expected and we really don't feel like travelling. It is also a good place to learn and try out games.

I am getting a lot of 2-player games played with my wife, and a lot of kids games played with my daughter.
For campaign games, we finished The Crew (10/10), are halfway through our first playthrough of Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion (10/10), halfway through Clank: Legacy (10/10), and are a third through the Maracaibo campaign (9/10).
The new Terraforming Mars expansions were great (10/10), I am loving the newer Power Grid maps (10/10), as well as the new Sushi Go Party Promos (9/10).
Surprise hits were Fast Sloths (8/10), Abandoned all Artichokes (8/10), Sorcerer City (9/10 my wife particularly loved this one), and Copenhagen (9/10, my daughter is able to play this one).
Disappointments were Scythe (I gave it 7/10 assuming it will get better with a larger group, my wife really didn't like this one), Robin of Locksley (6/10), Enchanters (6/10, too simple), Foothills (6/10, would rather just play Snowdonia), and Fort (7/10, but would much rather play Glory to Rome or Mottainai).
All in all, the isolation has helped me play through more unplayed games.
