Lost in "New Bedford: Rising Tide" with the Castaway of the White Whale promo to @kbowenwriter.bsky.social whose building strategy outscored my heavy whaling. Our first play using the Ship's Log module

Lost in Homebrewers to @kbowenwriter.bsky.social by a lot. She had the money working and made the most of her actions. Me, not so much.

Fifth Thanksgiving weekend game is a three-player session of Earth with @charger703.bsky.social - nice blend of design elements from Terraforming Mars and Wingspan plus action-following.

Fourth Thanksgiving family game is "Three Dragon Ante" by @wotc-news.bsky.social with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social @raptor788.bsky.social @arctick9.bsky.social - clever D&D-themed trick-taking game that I lost horribly but had fun playing

First Thanksgiving family game is "Escape from Dark Tower" with @kbowenwriter.bsky.socialaand son and son's fiancee. We won with an asterisk because we realized afterward that we misinterpreted two of our items, both in our favor (of course).

For those stressing about cooking for tomorrow.
I am a chef instructor with 30+ years of culinary experience.
I forgot salt in my brine last night. I added it and changed my timeline, but still, even with experience errors can happen.
Take a deep breath and remember why we cook. To show love.

YES! Reminds me of the first time I saw Joan Jett do this at the Orange County Fair in the 90s. Can't find the video but this one on Letterman is close youtu.be/zWQHhKrdtSA?...

Played "Paradise Fallen," a 2013 Crash Games card game set among the Hawaiian islands, with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social . Card luck tended to feature heavily, despite some agency in the form of special powers from explored islands.

I'm tinkering with my game rankings just for kicks, and I ran into a small conundrum. I'm having a hard time ranking these three against each other:
Beer and Bread
Everdell
Viticulture (with Tuscany)
Curious to get others' opinions
