Really enjoying my time with Tavern Keeper from @greenheartgames.bsky.social.
High production management / building game from an indie studio in Australia. Loads of fun, and a surprising amount of content given its an early access release.

As a tech nerd it felt good to be prepared for the power cut yesterday with lots of power banks, a RyobiOne inverter so we could run a lamp, and a freshly recharged LED torch.
Bonus, Tracey still had movies downloaded on her tablet from her flight to Bali so we had entertainment too!
