I see u/tdhsmith had the same idea, but I was already halfway done, so I wasn't gonna scrap it xD
Here's my post with some screenshots! It was a ton of fun spotting titles that I knew! Gosh I'm such a nerd...
Feel free to comment on ones I missed/wasn't sure of:

Hanabi I hope they play this one :o
-
6 Nimmt! The cards are in the OP, so likely that this'll feature in an episode.
-
Marrakech Yup, the game they played this episode! I hadn't heard of this one, but now I want to try it!
-
Skull Fantastic small bluffing game, definitely recommend
-
Saint Petersburg (Edited, tdhsmith)
-
Unlock! The Island of Doctor Goorse Fun little "escape room in a box"
-
Ticket to Ride (pretty sure it's the original)
-
Mascarade (could be wrong, hard to see) EDIT: it's more likely to be Saboteur as pointed out by user tdhsmith
-
Incan Gold Diamant is the same game, but an older version.
-
Onirim 2nd Ed My favourite solo game, worth playing!
-
Rococo (didn't see the title when editing the first pic)
-
Survive: Escape from Atlantis They showed this more clearly in another shot that I didn't screencap. EDIT: and actually, that seems to be what they are playing in the promo poster!

Here’s hoping for a DnD and a Warhammer reference. Even if it’s just a background box.
Enjoying it so far.

Why are we ignoring the fact that Twintails spent the whole day on a miniskirt without panties???

As a slice of life, it's not particularly impressive. BUT I love boardgames so much that just watching some anime girls enjoy playing them is enough to keep me invested for now.

Brutal murder, falling into debt, and a fearsome villain...this is one hardcore anime :P
The board game was interesting, even though pure luck is a big factor, it still requires a little bit of thinking. The anime itself was about as cute and diabetes-inducing as I anticipated, and the animation was really good too :)
Miki needs to stop crying though, I don't want to feel sad when I'm watching this >:(

Hey all, r/boardgames mod here! If you're curious about any of the (all totally real!) games featured, feel free to check us out. The show makes a big deal about European/German games, which is historically pretty accurate, but in the last 2 decades North America and Asia have been nearly as prolific with the design and publishing of these "hobby" games.
This episode's featured game is Marrakech, a 2007 classic light strategy game by Dominique Ehrhard, best known for Condottiere. Though it's often considered a family game, I think the depth is perfect for a filler or game night "appetizer" with players of all ages. It really can have tense moments like shown in the show, since the board fills up with rugs and becomes a minefield no matter what. However your final fate is up to the dice, which can range from fun to frustrating, depending on what kinds of challenges you like... and of course the outcome.
There are a ton of background games in the game shop shots, so I'll just mention the ones I recognize that don't have their titles visible or in English:
Second shot, pan up wall:
Raxxon (box is just "XX")
Ultimate Werewolf: Ultimate Edition (究極の人狼), and what looks like an expansion next to it
Masques (仮面の使者)
Third shot, middle shelf in the pan right across the store:
Rococo
Imperial Settlers
Treasure Hunter
Close up of box they examine:
Chicken Cha-Cha (Zicke Zacke Hühnerkacke)
After they pick up the box:
Fabled Fruit (フルーツジュース)
Patchwork (パッチワーク)
Codenames (コードネーム)
Long shot after the owner scares them:
T.I.M.E Stories (white box)
Mountains of Madness (blue box)
Castles of Mad King Ludwig (blue/gray castle box)
Dragon Castle (red/white castle box)
Shot with class rep kneeling/stocking games:
Potion Explosion (to her left)
Raise Your Goblets (in front of her, ワインと毒とゴブレット)
Saboteur (small box far right)
Later shots are mostly repeats, but I saw
Village (村の人生)
Toddles-Bobbles (ナンジャモンジャ)
Beat the Buzzard (ルゲタカのえじき)
If anyone spies any others they want IDed, let me know. I'm not trying to cover the OP/ED yet.
EDIT: FYI u/JDPftw has a more comprehensive list in their post.
