I’m like that with a lot of games! But yes, this one especially!

Really enjoyed Forest shuffle. Bears were good for me. My cave overfloweth with points!

Check out insta for more on this one.

Question is:
Forest Shuffle vs Meadow?

Day 1 of Hill meetings with the gaming industry on tariffs. Felt great to be with volunteer advocates who traveled to DC on their own dime to defend our community. If you’re not part of the new GAMA, you should be. @gamaofficial.bsky.social @fortcircle.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social

We’re loving Flip 7.
We had a busy weekend but Fri we played the West Kingdom trilogy.

With breaks it was a 13hr session along with the West Kingdom tomesaga. It’s was fab fun!

Such good games but Architects I think is best!

⭐️ Essen Release ⭐️
Played Mandela’s (co-designer) pre-production copy along with a teach!

AYAR Children of the Sun is a complete delight.

Fun actions earn points from gods, sun and moon, but don’t upset them as only 1 will decide your score!

River of gold.
THE most beautiful game we now own and a sweet spot in time/depth. It’s a gem!

Emma was always keen to try this one. Me less so.
How wrong I was.
Loved this playthrough of Outlive at #Diceandaslice

Well this surprised us.

Simple game in essence, give up resources to satisfy mission cards. Score most points to win.

However, engaging gameplay, great dice placement idea and thematic touches throughout made this a bit of a surprise.

🙋🏻‍♀️ proved more underhand than me & won by 2pts.

Troyes is a sweet spot for mid weight games with depth. 10/10 for gameplay experience.

I think some readers come across BoardGameWire and think it must be a relatively big operation, backed by a larger company. For clarity - it's not! It's just me, Mike, fitting in interviewing, researching and writing hundreds of articles each year around a day job and taking care of my two kids! 1/2

A real mix of games in what was a quiet month! Some memorable experiences tho.

Best experience?
Architects + Age of Artisans expansion.

Biggest Surprise?
How good Cloudage was on its return after a big absence.

Disappointment?
Borrowed Books of Time and it was a little dull.
