Lots of board game companies have really great customer service, but @capstone-games.com might be heads above! <3

Ridley's first ever play of Fields of Arle!!!

Fields of Arle, but first time playing with Frisian Landscapes. Dad takes the win over Mom 109-102.

So many animals!!!

I wonder what else you could do with 2.4 billion dollars in sales and liquor tax revenue...Schools? Housing? Healthcare? Not build a stadium?

Ridley played her first game of Deus. She finished in second place, beating out Mommy.

We're so proud of Mommy. She signed up for her first ever platelet donation! She's a hero!

As usual, NOT attending #PAXU but still Philly-adjacent....and no one ever takes me up on offers for game night or hanging out...

Ummm, do better next year, maybe?

It's sad that they're going to have to cancel the Emmys this year, since Nick Offerman's mutton chops just claimed every award.

Despite everything, I'm rooting for a Joe Carter walkoff homer in game 6, just to completely crush the Dodgers fans spirits for the next 30+ years.

He owes me this

A fully completed village board in Saltfjord. With a score of 216 (wagons are cool)

I have an idea about a board game themed around the Tush Push (although I still prefer Brotherly Shove).

So far, I have:
Step 1: Set up the game
Step 2: Score 6 points

Having to root for the Blue Jays feels so icky

Sure you can handle "Glom of Nit", but an AWS outage, that's a bridge too far

Finally got SETI to the table. It flopped hard.

Dad is experienced in it (~50 plays during play testing), but Mom (first okay) did not like it.

To be fair, it's big and messy and not easy to understand everything from the get go. Will probably try again, but not soon
