And so it begins! Atlantic Chase by @gmtgames.bsky.social is sitting unplayed on my shelf for far too long. Learning and understanding the rules, as well es playing this game, will be my winter project. I heard nothing but good things about this game.

First play of "The other side of the hill". Not sure what to think about that one... 🤔

Epic game of Fire in the lake. Almost took Saigon, if only the last coup card would have come earlier... VC took home the Win, cause ARVN and the US were focused on taking back Saigon.

Any games contract that does not have a clear mechanism to return the game rights to the designer, and that does not give the designer meaningful input (and in some cases veto power) over art & development decisions, is an act of gross malfeasance. These should be standard.

So let's jump into that cube rails rabbit hole.

Some new games on the shelf. One, I've been interested in for a long time and happy about the reprint, and one that simply attracted me by its beauty.

Nice gaming afternoon, where I finally got to play "Maria", followed by "Pax Pamir". "Maria" is definitely a game with a steep learning curve and where you for sure have to be cautious and have the board state in focus. Pamir again was a delight. My most played game.

"Prime Minister" by @gmtgames.bsky.social! What a fun game! Lots of trash talk, backstabbing, scheming and betrayal at the table. Exactly my kind of thing. 👌🏼

The Bell of Treason is a compact card-driven wargame about the Munich Crisis, but entirely from the Czechoslovak perspective. Will you concede to German demands or make a doomed stand? This one is full of hard questions. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/09/05/b...
When the Bell Breaks
It wouldn’t be fair to call the Munich Crisis “small.” Certainly it wasn’t small to the almost fifteen million inhabitants of Czechoslovakia. But time and history, especiall…

Onoda by @fgradaille.bsky.social is an interesting solitaire game, that gets you to ask yourself some heavy ethical questions about the actions you take in the game. 👌🏼
