1st 2 player game afternoon with @parkerjeff in months! First up was Oranienburger Kanal by @UweRosenberg. Really enjoy this one but it suffers by comparison to Glass Roads. Next was Dinosaur Table Battles by hollandspiele - BLM 🦕🦖🌈. This one falls flat without lots of repeated plays.

The new hotness! Andromeda's edge! Worker placement with conflict and really pretty space stuff. There's a lot going on and a lot to like, but with 4 players, you can't really strategize, and it's a long time between turns. Love to try it with 3. That'll be the sweet spot.

I'm a "serious gamer", and shouldn't enjoy this kind of thing but Grace and I were at a coffee shop and played some Guess Who and a generic stacking game. And you know what? We had a blast. It's important to remember not to get too full of ourselves. Games are fun!

Didn't go to the concert but let's face it's Taylor Swift's loss. I'd kill it as a back up dancer.

Hello Kitty: Day at the Park by Maestro Media Looks like a kids game, but plays for adults. The 8+ is deceiving. There is a real gamer game here. Check out J. thinking hard on the first couple turns if you don't believe me. :)

Some jokes get better with age. Just watched an episode of WKRP that first aired in February of 1980. The joke was that Keith Richards can't stick around forever.

Happy New Year! December was a bit slow for gaming but it ended strong. Return to Dark Tower by Restoration Games Comic Hunters by Spin Master Games Quodd Heroes by Ryan Iler Great way to end the year!

Posting the games played this week & realized, I didn't post last week! Last week we played Roborally! It's chaotic and unpredictable but always a hoot. We play with 2 house rules, including if one player is eliminated, whoever is in the lead wins. Who else loves Roborally?

2 games to practice my Spanish. Tzolk'in by CGE and La Granja: No Siesta by Stronghold Games Tzolk'in is my favourite Italian design. Teohua...whatever fell flat but Tzolk'in is an amazing strategic experience. Love it. No Siesta is a great heavier roll and write!

A new play of one of the first games in my modern hobby experience. Owned and sold 20+ years ago. Zombies!!! by Twillight Creations All I can say is I remembered the zombies being more of a threat. None of us so much as lost a life. Not a game I need. Looks pretty though.

What's better than building Jurassic Park? Competing to see who can build the best Jurassic Park! Dinogenics by Richard Keene is the best dinosaur park game out there (a surprisingly crowded field). Amazing production and super thematic game play.

Don't think I have ever felt more seen... Dork Tower – The Place for All Things Dork dorktower.com

Played some 2p games: Meltwater by hollandspiele - BLM 🦕🦖🌈 Kelp by Wonderbow Games P'achakuna by #Treecer Revolution of 1828 by @FrostedGames 4 very different games. All very good. Do you have a favourite 2p game? Which of these would you like to know more about? #tabletop #boardgames

1st game of Breakout Con is our traditional Battlestar Galactica. It was also the fastest BSG game I've ever seen. Callie and Baltar teamed up for a near perfect Cylon victory. If the Centurions hadn't gotten us, the empty fuel tanks would have.

Day 1 of Breakout Con ended with a couple of games of Gun It. Thematically it's the car chase scene from every movie. Mechanically it's a real time co-op where you need to plan everybody's moves in 30 seconds. I should hate it, but I don't. It's a fun little filler.

Last game of Breakout Con was the long awaited Stationfall by Ion Game Design It's a really fun design that leads to a great narrative feel. We played with 9 players which is a double edged sword. It's hilariously chaotic but the downtime between turns is a bit long.

Took a break from social media but needed to come back to talk about Galactic Cruise from Kinson Key Games A Lacerda by any other name, this is one of the most thematically connected heavy euros I've ever played. Just great!
