Yesterday was a LONG 4-player run through the first session of The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era with friends. Only one death and it was intentional by the necromancer. Would’ve been a few more but we had a friendly dog who rescued the others.

One of my husband’s coworkers came over this evening for dinner and games. This is a gentleman who, previous to joining us a few months ago, had only played classic games. First up was Castle Combo, his favorite game. Then Guillotine, now his new fave. Finally, No Thanks.

Finally got some games in that didn’t involve screens! Tango, a trick taking game for two players; Bog, what we call a gum stick game, that was an interesting strategy card game; and Boggle - because I lost the first two games, my husband chose something I could kick his butt at. 😆

Played Red Dragon Inn tonight with two of our sons and we finally finished chapter 3! I think we’re in agreement that when all four of us play we can bump up the difficulty. I’m pretty sure we managed to defeat all foes before the end of round three.

We played Azul for the first time last night. We both forgot what triggered the end of the game (it’d been a long day by the time sat down to learn it) so in an unfair game, I won by 20 points. I think if we’d have stopped when we should have, I’d have been crushed.

Sad start to the year: no games yet. The first I was down with back spasms and today I had outpatient surgery, so I’m limited mobility for the next few days (not to mention the Percocet and sleepy brain fog). Maybe tomorrow we can get in a light game.
What light games do you like?

Finally played another session of Red Dragon Inn with one of our sons. (The other one who was playing with us has pretty much stopped playing.) We’re almost to the 4th chapter - it’s taken FOREVER!

Today we opted to go to one event today & got in another game of Tiny Epic Galaxies and then played Nimble.

We’re supposed to go to two different gaming opportunities today. It’s sleeting, snowing and terribly windy with a potential for whiteout conditions. My husband has already jokingly suggested we stay home where it’s warm…

Tonight we played Forbidden Island - which we inadvertently cheated at (forgot to shuffle the flood cards back in 3 or 4 times). We agreed we’d like to try it again with the correct rules! Then we played Tiny Epic Galaxies which ended up a fairly close score.

FINALLY finished our third session for Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era. It was far too easy for us, so we think we’re going to move up the difficulty level.

For Christmas I received Similo Wild Animals, Soda Jerk should be arriving next week, and my husband got Azul. Played a few games of Similo and I’m really looking forward to playing it at a higher count!

Played Too Many Bones with friends yesterday. First time in a while any of us had played - definitely still a challenge. Two encounters, including the final boss, were almost a TPK.

Finished our final session 2 combat in Elder Scrolls. As predicted, we easily defeated our foes. I dunno - not challenging is kind of…dull. Might try a very different class next time.
Then went to a friend’s and taught a couple of folks how to play Castles of Burgundy. Love that game!

I was thinking we might stop playing Elder Scrolls for the rest of 2025 when we’re done with this scenario since we’ve been playing a lot. But we’re planning on playing all of our games next year, so getting through some more while we’re off at the end of the year will be alright.

Finished a round in our second session of Elder Scrolls last night. Dark elf bard and a redguard spell sword kicking butt and taking names. I hope we’re not too cocky - I’m thinking it’s going to be a walk in the park - very unlike the last time we played.

Played Wyrmspan this evening with friends. I expected a GIANT stomping in score difference and was not disappointed: Five players with a difference of 80 points between first and last place! (At least I was squarely in the middle!)

We pulled out Castles of Burgundy to teach two of our sons earlier this week. They both liked it and did well for their first time, but one was less than excited by the prospect of being lapped by their dad! (Due to time constraints, we had to quit after the 3rd phase.)

Played Nimble #ttrpg yesterday (sounded like the introductory scenario). Interesting mechanics & a nice light system. Looking forward to seeing what trouble my stoatling zephyr can get in to.

UK gamers: I have a friend who is heading out soon to London for a week or so. What are some “don’t miss” spots for her to enjoy some gaming company and/or stores?
