👋 Board Game Homies here! Sitting around the table are: Reed (she/her), Becky (she/her), Gillean (he/him), and Angela (she/her)!
Yellow border to represent Reed’s choice of board game player color around an image her: she is smiling with a cute squinty face, has brown hair, and is wearing glasses. Behind her is a blue sky and cityscape. Green border to represent Becky’s choice of board game player color around an image of her: she is smiling, has medium length brownish hair that is actually red, has a septum piercing, and is wearing glasses. The background is blurred. Teal border to represent Gillean’s choice of board game player color around an image of him: he has a small smile, has short dark hair, short facial hair, is wearing glasses, and has a grey sweatshirt hood over his head. The background is blurred. Grey border to represent Angela’s lack of choice of board game player color around an image of her: she is sitting at a table, looking down with a smile, with tattoos on both arms, and perfect salt and pepper hair. The background is blurred.

We played Clank! Catacombs: Underworld by @direwolfdigital.bsky.social this week! Such a fun addition that we are looking forward to exploring more.
One of us may or may not have been intentionally trying to summon the dragon by purchasing as many cards as possible...

Torchlit by David Spalinski! Loving the vivid colors and adorable art of this game. At the end of each trick, the person who played the lowest number (regardless of suit) chooses which cards will be added to the dungeons for end-game points AND leads the next trick.
#boardgames
Picture of Torchlit the trick taking card game. In the foreground, there is a hand of cards with the focus on a 4 Ghost. In the midground, the rest of the game is set up with seven dungeon cards, the player’s explorer meeples, and the cards making up the points for each dungeon stacked below. Torchlit the trick taking game - closeup of the various cards stacked under the dungeons for end game points. Sorted by numerical value.

Lisboa! We played three games within four days and nearly lost Reed during the last play. This is our second Lacerda game, and we’re divided about which one is better (the first being Kanban EV.)

Check out our newest episode for our review of Lisboa by @eaglegryphon.bsky.social
#boardgames
Close up of the three nobles on the Lisboa game board. There is a purple meeple and a pile of player cubes. Close up of the building side of the Lisboa board game. Player houses are on top of building spaces with wig values for each column. (Wigs are victory points.) Most of the photo is blurry with the focus on the nobles. Card piles and player officials. Close up of the rubble cubes placed on a player’s board with two of the players blurred out in the background.

A friend of mine legitimately spent 45 minutes working out their last turn in Power Grid. They won in the end, but at what cost? AT WHAT COST!? *dramatic music*
