“We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman and they said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.”

September was busy. So few boardgame plays.

2 projects backed this week. If everyone can stop making new games for a few months that’d be great. www.kickstarter.com/projects/boa...

That was an easy back. Such a good game. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Saw someone post some gameplay of Toy Battle (I don’t remember who, sorry). Looked neat, so I tried it on BGA. Definitely a fun little game. Of course it’s sold out everywhere.

August boardgame stats.

Been noodling on a trick taking game design on and off for like 2 years. I think I just figured out how to make it work. Bought some reusable blank cards to begin testing. Woo, progress.

Backed Hanami #boardgame on Kickstarter. I liked the old Bakelite bits Samurai, but since we’re not getting that, I guess picnicking it is. www.kickstarter.com/projects/key...

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🌎 Whole lotta rewatches because the brain space has been blah.

Slightly diminish a board game: Four Tribes

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched?

Name a zero skips album Suspect this isn’t everyone’s taste. If you need me to go more mainstream, NIN - Pretty Hate Machine.

Why say favorite Nicholas Cage movie when that’s clearly a picture of John Travolta? 😉

Played some bangers in July. Board games played:

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

Closer isn’t even top 10. Today we’ll go with Gave Up.

My little Alhambra. I am remarkably bad at this game.

Forgot pics, but a co-op game of Nemesis with the gremlins. They continue to impress me with their gaming. We lost horribly, but not because they didn’t get it. Then elder gremlin kicked butt in an all-in Abyss game. Good weekend so far.

Things have been so heated in this country. Now that it’s July 4th we should all take a step back, take a deep breath, and say: Fuck this administration Fuck ICE Fuck everyone who enables this bullshit.

A new month. Here’s the #boardgames played in June.

All in Five Tribes with the gremlins. Elder gremlin won handily. Good teacher. :P

One of these days I’m going to remember to take pictures. Played a game of Ra with the gremlins today. Top 10 game. So good.

I have a joke about Prometheus, well, it’s more like a sick burn.

Elder gremlin has been playing chess. I bought DVONN thinking she might like more abstracts. Didn’t go great. I thought it was fun and smart. We’ll try again in a few days.

Broke out Bus to play with the gremlins. I love that game, but am reaffirmed that I love it less at 3 players.

So, younger gremlin, after a few rounds of The Crew has requested more games where we work together. So, bought Paleo, and some other stuff to get free shipping, because, no impulse control.

Forgot to take a pic, but played a solo game and a me with the gremlins of Come Sail Away! Happy with the impulse buy. Hope they do an expansion with more room mechanics.

Bought Dune Imperium Uprising and Bloodlines b/c elder gremlin is really into Dune atm. It gets here and she was like “do we have to wait until the weekend to play?”

Boardgame night! We’re playing Bus tonight. Such a good game.

Few days late, but April’s boardgame plays:

Tend to overspend on the birthday month. Backed Flamecraft Duals, and on the way is Dune Imperian Uprising & Bloodlines exp, Horizons of Spirit Island (last piece I didn’t have) and Come Sail Away!

Dukes of 15th century Burgundy cared about one thing, those sweet sweet victory points.

Elder gremlin requested some Lords of Vegas today.

Been trying to slow purchasing, but backed Gazebo. Gameplay up my alley and love the travel sizing.

“God doesn’t make mistakes,” says transphobe with multiple plastic surgeries.

Boardgames that could use a new coat of paint/reprint: Tigris & Euphrates Samurai Shakespeare Masters of Venice Trajan Chaos in the Old World Cthulhu Wars (shrink it a little to reduce price point!) San Juan Blood Bowl: Team Manager Shadows Over Camelot Aquasphere Container Asgard Jorvik (retheme)

Got the gremlins to play Le Havre. Younger gremlin said she likes it, but it’s too long. Guess we’ll try the shortened game next time.

Got tired of waiting and imported a copy of Le Havre from the UK, and it somehow got here (US) faster than if I’d ordered from an OLGS.

I just won the Sitting In My House Championship at the Devlin Residence in New Jersey. Such a great honor! The awards dinner is tonight at home. I want to thank my dog and my cat and all the many great procrastinators. Such fun!

Is it 2029 yet?
