Yesterday at @gmtgames.bsky.social Weekend at the Warehouse, we played The Plum Island Horror using the More of a Bad Thing Expansion’s “Alarming” difficulty. Lots of fun, but the new “Oh No, There Goes Tokyo” rule combined w/ Horrors Possession ended us by Round 3. “Alarming” was right!

The Plum Island Horror map, featuring 2 stacks of Horrors and a few player standees.

One of the highlights of @sdhistcon.bsky.social for me was finally meeting Mark Miklos in person and getting a photo with him in his period garb:

As someone who has difficulty focusing, especially with a long rules teach, it’s the simplicity to learn and quick turns that stand out for me. But the player interactions are also very fun :)

One of my favorite games. Coming soon to GMT’s P500 list 👀

My "Best Surprise" Award from SDHistCon goes to MicroVerse, the upcoming fast-playing 4x space game by Sam London (GMT Games). Easy to learn, fast to play, with so much subtlety and depth. An instant classic!
