A good mix of games played this year. But I still feel like I haven’t played Marvel Champions enough! #bgstats #boardgames

Speakeasy. I beat the easy automa $550 to $387. I had a nice string of protected building that I upgraded early and then did two runs of production & selling. It might be a fluke, though. I’ll have to tentatively increase Joe’s difficulty next time. #boardgames

I recently sourced the Gotham City Chronicles board game core boxes. They sit alongside the Gotham City Chronicles Roleplaying game. That’s a lot of Batman (and quite a few miniature doubles) but I am a pig in mud organising it all and dreaming about having the time to paint/play them both.

Second solo game of Speakeasy finished. Still learning, starting to see what I need to do. The automa, Joe, beat me $235 to $212 on easy.

@elprezau.bsky.social Set up for Speakeasy (probably get to start Friday). My 6ft table barely has enough space.

@elprezau.bsky.social 20 Stronged!
I hope I like this game as there’s a lot here. And room for a lot more!

@elprezau.bsky.social It’s a big box! Good thing I’ve sold a few recently.

Second solo game of Star Trek: Captain’s Chair was a win for me against the bot, 68 to 61. My brain hurts! This was the table state before I resumed today for the last few rounds. #boardgames

Past me thought that a Batman roleplaying game sounded rad. Half the pledge came today. Guess I’ve got some reading to do.

Managed a close win against the two automa rivals! Phew.

About to start a solo game of Dune Imperium Uprising. It’s been long between games, so am playing on Novice. And will likely still get trounced! #boardgames

Not many plays this month, but I loved Men Nefer and Civolution. The latter has replaced about 4 other euros for me, some of which I’ve already sold off. #boardgames

The end of my painting for War of the Ring inches closer. Saruman and the Witch King painted.

Aghast at the price of adding shaded minis to some pledges, I whipped up a dark wash in 20 seconds and tried it out on my War of the Ring minis. Looks fine to me. (I’ll paint these with colour - just wanted to prove to myself)

This week, I’m learning Civolution solo. Let’s see how badly I lose to the bot opponent. #boardgames

Got Tainted Grail Kings of Ruin today. Had forgotten I went for sundropped minis. It’s fairly cool, but a few issues. I think I’d be able to produce similar results (spending time, effort and materials, admittedly). Don’t think I’ll pay for it again in future.

Home with my son on school holidays and he wants to learn a new game. I’ve set up Reign of Cthulhu. Quite a fan of boards that provide spaces for cards and decks. #boardgames

Learning a gorgeous game called Men-Nefer. It has a solo board side and the opponent takes turns according to a stack of tiles. Every action is thematic, lovely wooden components and a narrow set of actions that can cascade into wider chains. #boardgames
