I’ve been trying out Red Rising solo. I’ve never played Fantasy Realms but rather enjoy the way the strategy changes based on cards available. This game will likely get better as I get to know the cards!

After a week spent in a 2 bedroom cabin with my wife and our 6 kids, I have decided that I need to write a #PBtA #TTRPG called Powered by the Whine.

We actually had a lovely time, but HOLY CRAP there was a lot of whine…

This is really not what I needed to hear today. I have been away in a cabin with my family this week, and have been missing #spiritisland because it is just a bit big to bring with me just for solo play. This looks like it is a much nicer size for travel. But I will resist!

I think I probably will buy it (Many Realms has it for 30% off). But I am trying to stick with my resolution to only get games through trades or Geek Market used… so I may have to force myself to wait!

Every time I read about this game I remind myself “You do not need a new game. You have many many lovely games. You should not buy this game.”
I keep putting it in my shopping cart, then taking it out, and then putting it back in…

I decided to play a few games of Lost Cities on a concrete pad next to the stream where my children were playing. It felt appropriate that a large Northern water snake kept his eye on us throughout the game… #reinerknizia #lostcities #boardgames

My 8 year old Griffin and his friend R had a play date a few days ago. In preparation, R made a list of possible activities for them.
I’m pleased to see a #boardgame on the list and #d&d. But I’m also pleased with how #waldorfeducation encourages our kids not to turn to screens for fun.

The mommy dragon is just about the best consolation prize/tears avoider I’ve found in a game. My kids end up ecstatic that they have an empty egg. Brilliant.

My main #boardgames partners are my children. Which means each game gets interrupted 5 or more times for bathroom breaks.
Sometimes I long to play a game with someone who can last the whole game without having to pee. Or at the very least washes their hands (with soap) without being asked…Someday.

I feel like my hobbies (knitting, board games) help me connect with my kids. My kids have initiated so many conversations while I am sitting and knitting - I feel like it has the same effect as talking in the car. And board games are such a great way to have fun with my kids…

The Crew (either one) might be a good choice if folks know trick taking. Fun, cooperative with a good amount of depth.
I have never played or really looked into it much but I think Cat in a Box is from one of the sillier games companies but is also a trick taking game new.

Attractive AND accurate!

I decided to order a @boardgamegeek.com Geek hoodie because I like the Geek and I like heavy warm hoodies. And because it seems like an accurate label for me.
My not so secret goal is that it will act as a bat signal for other folks who love #boardgames that I pass in town.
