Got a copy of the #SkyTeam #boardgame as a moving present. Not played it yet, but logistically it was a good choice as a moving gift.

Small enough to easily pack, two player because we don't really have any local friends yet, and co-op because it turns out moving really is quite a stressful time.

It's a sad day today. I joined my local #boardgame group about 2 years ago but, as we're moving out of the area on Friday, tonight will be my last game night.

Made some good friends, played some amazing games, and really developed a love for the hobby. 😢

We still love playing #TicketToRide in our house, but vanilla can be a bit too vanilla.

A #boardgame I don't think gets enough attention is #Apiary - it's a great worker placement and it's all about space bees!

Because I can convince the Mrs and daughter to play it more often than any other game, it would be Carcassonne.

For me, personally, though, it would be Gaia Project*

Played some more #ShadowsOfBrimstone from @flyingfroggames.bsky.social last night.

I frickin' love the mutations. I'm fused with darkstone, have hand and leg growths, and a tentacle tongue.

I need to find a copy of Gates of Valhalla and pitch a review piece.

Help us get to 1000 followers and we’ll do some sort of #giveaway. Maybe to one random follower? Any other ideas or suggestions?

I've still not fallen in love with #Stalker2. I haven't suffered any major crashes, but when I take cover it feels like I'm standing behind tissue paper. Transparent tissue paper. One-way transparent tissue paper.

It's probably going to be more story based than D20 based but if Vox Machina is anything to go by, should be fun.

One more update for #BaldursGate3 #BG3 before @larianstudios.bsky.social moves on to something else. Presume it's Divinity: Original Sin 3!

I gave #Stalker2 another whirl last night. Not sure the balancing patch has really worked (t.ly/zEgdr) still feels way off.

And considering the game encourages the use of cover, enemies can absolutely see you through buildings, vehicles, blockades, hills.

Didn't hate it quite as much, though.

Played some #Stalker2 last night, on Xbox... won't be playing it again. 🤮

I managed to miss the Kickstarter but #TrenchCrusade looks proper sexy.
