Well, board gaming quieted down this week. Woke up the other day to water dripping on my face. Thought it was a pipe leak so turned off the water. It was a roof leak. Then water froze. Called out help but plumbers bailed. Called out for more help and Contractor came out.

Cretaceous Rails with the Cretaceous Skies Expansion...

More PostCurious. We broke out Pandora's Legacy. This one is interesting but first you have to buiild a jigsaw puzzle and we're still at it haha. I guess we're slow at this. #boardgames

Played Ministry of Lost Things from PostCurious today. Their games are so good. This one had a nice cheeky flavor to it too!

Continuing with the Christmas Games, yesterday we tried to defeat Krampus in Final Girl. We came oh so close to winning but Krampus found some extra life and we couldn't outlast him.

And our newest video is up! We call it our Shelf of Shameful Opportunity where we cover new to us games. youtu.be/SccEPIByCj4

We finally tabled Spirits of Christmas yesterday. We had play tested this game and enjoy it quite a bit. The mechanisms came back quickly but we lost. Because we sometimes just lose... #boardgames #boardgamegeeks

So I don't really do Spotify but someone made a tool so here is my Bandcamp Wrapped. The tool is at next.nikhaldimann.com/wrapped.

Today we finished Death in a snowstorm. This is a murder mystery game from Murder by Post. They promote it as a 12 day advent calendar but for us it worked much better to play in one sitting. In the end it was very good with some interesting puzzles.

A sampling of tv from the last week. With my illness we have lots of downtime so we watch lots of tv and film...

We're back! Filmed today. Look for videos this week...

Last night we had a vegan christmas cookie exchange. We made two kinds of cookies and now have 6! Plus some vegan Bailey's Cookies and Cream. And some tea to warm down!

We implemented Christmas Movie Magic in a spreadsheet. Today we watched the Muppets Christmas Carol and played a game...

We love when we spot board game collections on TV. This was from the new season of Shakespeare and Hathaway. They were hiding from a killer and this was behind them...

We did a video where we identified 20+ themes and picked our favorite games for each theme. We love theme after all! youtu.be/r4PVXcuKyTQ

Sigh. $50 tariff bill for a kickstarter. No one to be mad at except that orange piece of shit in the White House.

I am very disappointed in @czechgames.com for giving money to a known anti-trans bigot in order to sell board games with her IP. ‬The worst part about it is their weak statement on the subject which dismisses criticism as "feelings" about a fictional boy wizard. It misses the point.

I weigh in on the CGE controversy on my tumblr. (You don't have to be logged in to read it.) www.tumblr.com/teangames/79...

Filming on hold while I recover from illness flare up. I have the chronic illness blues...

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC. There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA. Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

You Know what is wasteful? Raiding people's homes, removing them from their homes and families, paying to detain them in a concentration camp, and then deporting them. That costs a hell of a lot of money and separates children from their parents. and why? Because of your racism? Complete waste.

Board games on the table as of today! We're lucky to have several dedicated gaming tables.

Elon Musk sys that he and President Trump are in the process of shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development, escalating their war on the federal bureaucracy and defying the constitutional power of Congress to determine how money is spent.
