First game of Lands of Amazement from @scottalmes.bsky.social and @buttonshy.bsky.social in the books. I can already tell this is probably going to be in my top tier of Button Shy games. I love a good spatial puzzle.

Got a great deal on a used copy of Boonlake at @millenniumgames.bsky.social the other day. Made a few tactical errors, but still had a blast against the automa. I wonder how different it feels at other player counts. Hope I can get it back to the table soon.

Finally got a copy of Arboria and got it to the table recently for a solo play. Lovely game. Feels very satisfying when a big combo comes together. Can't wait to play it with more people and see how a crowded board pushes those tracks around. And can't wait to play more from Dani Garcia.

Facebook saw a problem/business opportunity – billions of people, who have given the company tons of information about their personal interests, want more real-life friends – and the solution they came up with was: let's make a robot that catfishes people.
