New pretties came today! Loving how the two covers fit together like this.

We're having a moving sale! The "Coincidence collection" 3-pack of our tabletop games, which includes the new Zach Attack! Scratch 'n Solve Puzzle Pack, is now 33% off from our website: coincidence.games/store/ If you live in the U.S. that's free shipping, and then some!

Played my first game of Escape from Sargasso: Reborn. Another random dice chucker from these guys, but I felt like this one has more interesting decisions than Dorasure, and I love the theming of it and the fun characters. Expansions please!

Went to a board game night with my son tonight. Started off with him crushing me in a game if Meeple Circus after I chose the card that forced me to build only with my non-dominant hand and also without using my thumb...

Got the Mistborn deckbuilding game to the table today for my first solo play on the intro level. Need to play more, but I'm digging what I've seen so far. Was only one turn away from a huge combo to kill the Lord Ruler, but got taken out by a huge attack of theirs instead...

Also snagged this wacky dice chucker from Japan. It's basically a scifi twist on their other game Dorasure, which is a somewhat mindless dice chucking adventure game that my son and I have enjoyed quite a bit.

Got this as a surprise review copy today. Don't particularly love unsolicited review copies, but a new version of Three Sisters with a campaign added to it seems pretty cool, and it's a game I've been curious about for a while.

Whoops, I did a thing... @tricktaking.bsky.social @saibep.bsky.social Very excited to get it played, no off to find some people to play with me!

Newest game on the review pile, Compania! And of course I had to set it up right away and dig into it. Think I may have actually played one too many rounds, but I pulled out a win with 626 points!

Got in my first few solo plays of Flockers today, the newest game from OddBird (publisher of Feudum and Fled), coming to crowdfunding next month. It's a card based race game with an interesting V shaped tableau that you use to control the birds' flight but also that you need to keep from filling up.

Picked up a copy of Meeple Circus in a trade and got it to the table today with my kids. This one is definitely gonna stick around for a while, we had a great time with it!

Played my first solo game of Covenant today, pulling out a win 98-79, though it's very likely I did things slightly wrong somewhere, lol. In any case, had a blast with it and instantly set it back up and played another 2/3 of a game that I'll get back to tomorrow. Excited to play more of this one!

Played some games today, first a solo game of Railroad Tiles with the Forest expansion, which continues to be great, and then my first game of Sagrada since 2021 (first ever with the new edition) with my students, and yeah, still enjoy that one quite a bit as well!

New arrivals today, very excited for both!

Brought out Rallyman GT to play with my son and his friend today. They both really enjoyed it, so expect it'll get even more plays and I may need to track down some more content for it.

New video up on the channel! This time I took a look at the solo mode of the small box deckbuilding race game, Fliptoons, from @thunderworksgames.bsky.social ! youtu.be/u5NI8jn5dw0

New video on the channel! This time I took a look at the cooperative, narrative legacy campaign game, Cozy Stickerville from @unexpectedgames.bsky.social! This one has been a real surprise hit for us, check it out! youtu.be/K29ZiWG4mlE

SPONSORED @nobleknightgames.bsky.social just launched an Asmodee MAP sale, worth a look for some nice deals on Asmodee games. While you're there, they've also got a penny sale running at the same time, so you can grab some cheap stuff too! www.nobleknight.com?awid=1461 (affiliate link)

Newest acquisition! Picked this up to use as part of my "unit" on dice in my after school game mechanisms and design class, to show off dice drafting. Have been using Shelfie Stacker, which I still enjoy, but this is sort of the OG and I couldn't pass up a shiny new version!

Had a chance to go to the Level Up Retreat in Woodbridge, NJ last Friday with my son and played a bunch of games there. Have a watch to see more about my time there! youtu.be/N0tI6BTx6Fk

Played two more games of @kidstablebg.bsky.social Lairs with my son today (also opening and playing with the first box and then opening the first envelope for next time), and yeah, this game is brilliant! That said, you definitely need the adventure pack or it could get repetitive before long.

Package of goodies from Snowdale today, excited to finally try this one out!

Finished off the night playing Tacta with both of the kids. Scoring is quite a headache, but the gameplay is pretty fun, and my 4 year old was able to compete on her own. Scores were super close, and I ended up losing 50 to my daughter's 52 and my son's 53.

Played my first game of Lairs with my son today, actually taking on him and our slightly older neighbor as a team, so it would be easier for him to learn. He picked it up pretty well, so it should go great by himself next time!

Finally cracked into my Snow Planner big box and got a game of it played with the New Season expansion. So glad I decided to get everything for this game! Need to try out the co-op expansion next, and then might need to do some more videos of this one!

Headed to the Level Up Retreat this weekend, can't wait to check out another local con, play some fun games, and to see some old faces and meet some new ones as well. Will only be there on Friday, but if you see me, say hi! (I'll have stickers and pins! levelupevents.us

New video up on the channel, this week I took a look at the solo mode of Aquaria, from designer Tomas Holek (and solo mode designer Vladimir Suchy) and @capstone-games.com/Delicious Games! youtu.be/G33_opHNzu0

Played my first two games of Endangered today, with the tiger scenario, and have really enjoyed both plays. Very cool dice based worker placement puzzle with a fun variety of player powers and variable goals.

Been playing a bunch of animal themed games these days. Played my first two games of Aquaria yesterday. Interesting use of semi spatially based action selection with a card drafting/tile laying/resource management puzzle, but I kinda just feel meh after each play, even as I'm getting better at it.

Planning a video for the Zach Attack scratch off games and thinking of recording playthroughs of two of them. Which of these would you be most interested in seeing?

Started my first game of @gilarpgs.bsky.social Rune today, and I think it might finally be the perfect bridge from boardgames to solo RPGs that I'm looking for. Fun mix of Soulslike narrative pointcrawl adventure mixed with tactical grid based combat using dice leads to a very fun experience so far.

New video up on the channel! This week I took a look at the flip and write game, Flip Pick Towers from @ospreygames.bsky.social, and they were nice enough to share a digital copy of the player sheet so you can play along! (See link in video description) youtu.be/_SqMgs3D-xE?...

Also got a chance to finally play my copy of Catacombs & Castles with my after school class today. Love me a good flicking game, and this is much easier to get played than base Catacombs (though that still has its place in my collection).

Played my first game of Defenders of the Wild today, inspired by the new campaign. Squeaked out a win in a situation where pretty much any mech card could have killed me! Wasn't sure how excited I was gonna be, but ended up really enjoying it!

One last new scratch off game before bed, this time Dragons Over Dunkirk! Managed to find all six nests without running into mommy, and if I hadn't made a stupid decision in the last day, I could have done with all four men still alive...

Tried (and beat!) another one of the Zach Attack scratch off games today. This one is kind of battleship meets mine sweeper, and I had a lot of fun with it. Getting GI Joe vibes visually as well, which makes me smile.

Then finished out the day with three games of Fliptoons, twice solo (one loss and one win) and then once two player with my son, winning by only two points when the end game triggered by the deck running out. Still really enjoy this one quite a bit.

Second Zach Barth game is Chemistry Set, a two player duel game that also has a sort of timed solo mode. Was one turn away from a win in my first game, but pulled it out in the second one!

Tried out the two Zach Barth games I got this week, first up was the solo only game Lucky Seven, pulling out a win against the baddies with only two casualties. Enjoy the spatial puzzle this one presents and excited to dig in some more.

New video up on the channel! This time I took a look at the solo mode in the card drafting, spatial puzzle game, Tír na nÓg, from @grandgamersguild.bsky.social. youtu.be/E0UqKDRUKCE?...

New purchases came today! Very excited to finally have a copy of Junk Art, especially with wooden pieces. Was very happy when I heard it was getting a new version. Also glad to finally have a copy of Flip toons as well!

Played my first game of Railroad Tiles with the Forest expansion tonight. This one was much more straightforward than the Monuments expansion, kind of just a "more stuff" expansion that adds an additional terrain type and a new token type. Still lots of fun though!

Played two of the scratch off games from Zach Attack! today and am already excited by what I'm seeing! (Though not loving what I'm smelling, lol, they stink of rosewater or something else flowery)

After listening to the @danthurot.bsky.social interview with Zach Barth last week, I was instantly intrigued by his scratch off games and somewhat curious about the solo card games as well, so I reached out and was lucky enough to snag a few review copies!

3000 subscribers on YouTube! Still can't believe the channel has come this far, yet alone even still exists. Thanks to everyone who has joined me along the way, stay tuned for a celebratory giveaway!

Got Railroad Tiles to the table today, my first time playing with an expansion. First up was the Monuments expansion, that adds in an archaeologist that moves around the paths you've made with your tiles, finding monuments. Excited to try out some more!

Need to say up front that they sponsor my channel, but if you are looking for some new games, check out Noble Knight's clearance sale going on now, and remember to use my affiliate link to help out the channel, thanks! www.nobleknight.com?awid=1461

Likely won't have any new content out for it, but I just wanted to point out that Corps of Discovery is back in crowdfunding with a new upgraded edition as well as a unique two player version that's sort of a reverse take on the deduction puzzle! www.kickstarter.com/projects/min...
