I work so I can buy more boardgames
Nice.
Next on the bucket list: Play Hilo in Hilo?

My October was longer than yours. According to #bgstats I played a game 32 days in October.

Got to play a variety of games at Spiel and played during the DST changes (where I suspect the 32nd day comes from).

A few new ones, a few old ones and something in between

I have been listening to "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". Sometimes while soloing a boardgame.

What I can tell you is that even if I don't like Arkham Horror the boardgame, I like it even less with The Visitors by ABBA as a soundtrack.

I've now gone through the solo mode for Forest Shuffle (from Exploration) three times; With the base game, with Alpine expansion, and with Alpine + Woodland Edge.

I've discovered new strategies and powerful forest friends.

Loved it!
Well done @lookoutgames.bsky.social

My September plays. Forest Shuffle still at the top thanks to the Exploration solo mode.

I'm now going into the last quarter of the year and have played a (physical copy) boardgame every day of 2025 so far.

Solo played Until Proven Guilty from DV Games.

I don't recommend the game for its price even if the production is great. Weirdly the components are of too high quality for a one off play.

I think they could have done something like Final Girl (core box + cases).

Everything is relative.

I guess most people think they'd have played a lot if they managed 70 plays in a year.

To me, playing only 70 times in a month is on the lower side (I was traveling which explains it)

Forest Shuffle from @lookoutgames.bsky.social continued its reign in July thanks to the solo mode in Exploration.

Kingsbridge, the competitive solitaire from Wolfgang Kramer and @kosmosgamesuk.bsky.social that I randomly bought at a sale, got closest to toppling it.

Second try and Ironheart won... but just barely

I just finished watching the #marvel Ironheart series.

So, of course I had to play a game of Marvel Champions:

Ironheart vs The Hood

Got a little hooked on Forest Shuffle with the new Exploration expansion from @lookoutgames.bsky.social

But on average a different game played every day of the month.

That completes a half a year of daily physical plays. It'll be fun to try and finish a whole year.

I have played many games of Forest Shuffle from @lookoutgames.bsky.social and even more after getting the Exploration expansion.

On the fifth try at the Insects challenge, never having gotten 10 insects, I finally noticed that butterflies are insects too!

Game changer!

I really like the solo variant in Forest Shuffle: Exploration from @lookoutgames.bsky.social

It's part mentoring, part campaign. Same tension.

Screwed up my whole game on my last turn. Immediately want to play again.

I don't care if the buildings are not sturdy in Rolling Heights from @alderaceg.bsky.social

This game just looks so good and the meeple throwing mechanic is so much fun.

Solo opponent is simple to operate but I would have wanted cards instead of dice + a round tracker.

A new pope was elected in May. Around that time I played Avignon: A Clash of Popes with different people.

I also did two #threespan plays in May 🐠🐦🐉

A slump in plays in the middle of May but started to pick up again toward the end.

I put on a french family movie for a sudden movie night, knowing nothing about it:

Family Pack (Loups-Garous)

Turns out it was Werewolves of Miller's Hollow the movie.

It's an ok family flick, but it is the best movie based on real #boardgames I think I've seen 😉

I instantly thought of Power Vacuum when I saw the blurred mystery game 😀

I just barely saved Earth in my first game of Under Falling Skies from @czechgamesedition.bsky.social

I quite like the simplicity of the mechanics. Quick upkeep between my turns. I'll have to play a few more times to see how repetitive it gets (campaign might save it).

I just painted my first models. Well... the base of the models.

To faster distinguish between the rouleur and the sprinteur in a game of Flamme Rouge, I painted the base of each model to match the color of the back of that model's cards.

Instantly reminded me about Garden Guests from @vanrydergames.bsky.social (albeit a simplified version).

I believe it's a hidden gem of a game but I've heard many do not like the looks of it (I however love it).

Every year there is a friendly national health awareness competition called: Cycle to work.

It's an effort to encourage people to use different modes of transportation to get to work than a private car.

What better way to kick off this year's Cycle to work than a game of Flamme Rouge?

Decided to do #threespan

That is: Play all three *span games in one day: Finspan + Wingspan + Wyrmspan (from @stonemaiergames.com)

Did all of them solo against the automa. It was fun but I'd like to repeat 'threespan' against real players next time.

My April plays and yes that is Monopoly.

My daughter saved up money and bought Monopoly.

To encourage her to save money for things (games) she wants instead of spending it on candy or something, I played it with her a few times.

The game is actually alright. Just too long.

The joy of getting a delivery from @buttonshy.bsky.social 😍

A few of these I ordered to be a part of my daughter's birthday present. The rest is my reward for being a great dad.
