We (w/
@grantsgamerecs.bsky.social
) have been talking about having a weekly game night committed to something we almost never get to do: completing a campaign. The game we all wanted to see through: Tidal Blades 2. Now let’s see if our schedules and real life will allow us to finish.

visit and show us new games. Now these are on our want-to-buy lists: How to Save a World, Neko Syndicate, Snow Colony, and Formidabel! (aka Formidable Farm).

CUTE ALERT. Uchibacoya is doing a Kickstarter for the 2nd edition of Aqua Garden and two more games (Sky Garden and Dino Garden). The meeples alone might be reason to back.
