I've heard great things, but my first play of Zhanguo didn't quite grab me as much as I was expecting it to. Hopefully I'll come to appreciate its intricacies with more plays under my belt (and not get utterly demolished in the final round like this time 🫣)

Just look at me monopolising the negotiations in Circadians: First Light 😏 Beat the bot so easily last time I thought I'd give it another go to see if it was a fluke - apparently not! On to hard mode it is 💪🏻

One of my favourite board game feelings is when you introduce a game to someone and afterwards they immediately start Googling to see how much it costs 💓
And last night I scored a double whammy with Guards of Atlantis II and Decrypto 💓💓

Grrr as if I lost Dinogenics by 2 points to this hippie dippy herbivore park!
Although I guess it wasn't *that* hippie dippy - the stegosaurus did kill one of the guests after all 😅 Not very plant-based, not very demure...

I don't own many 'cosy' games (gimme blood and guts and fisticuffs) but Guild of Merchant Explorers is one of them and it feels like a cup of camomile tea in tabletop form

Playing everything Spirit Island as a swan song to GtG 😢
This was one of those really satisfying smackdown turns with Thunderspeaker, but I still only squeaked a win thanks to a cheeky/cheaty retcon with my Fear cards to destroy the final Prussian city. Still gonna take it 😌

Isn't it simply DREADFUL when one hosts a big gay party and the bloody coppers show up?
Molly House from @wehrlegig.games is a tough teach, but the theme is so interesting and well implemented (and it's taught me a part of history I knew nothing about).

What do we think about this? My initial instinct is "Oh I would play one of my tini plastic mini violins, but they're being held ransom unless I pay additional shipping fees", but maybe this spells trouble for the industry in general?

My dream (half) came true and I played Netrunner last night - only for my corp to lose without scoring a single agenda 🤦🏼 At one point I had 3 credits, 4 agendas in my hand and no affordable ice, so it was kinda inevitable... Redemption tonight for sho!

Had a dream last night that I was teaching Netrunner to Frasier Crane and all the attendees of one of his dinner parties. It could just be a product of all this Arctic air, but I think it actually means I really wanna play Netrunner

Had it been 3 months since our last play of Clank Legacy? Yes. Had we forgotten most of the story and new rules? Yes. Did we have a blast? Yes! Is my Maleficent dragon my favourite paint job? I love all my children equally (but also yes)

Molly House is a strange and meaningful beast, at once a celebration of queer love, a critique of imperial power, and a call to solidarity. More than that, it is a game that can't help but be personally meaningful to the lonesome and tired. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/02/12/m...

As a second-grader, I despised recess. Not because I enjoyed class — it was boring and tedious, hemmed in by schedules and busywork — but rather because I was lonely. Some people don’t unders…
