Went to a friend's house for a 3p game of Gugong with @charger703.bsky.social - really fun session. My first time with more than 2p

Favorite bar scene or cocktail in a #Filmnoir

No doubt

"Viticulture: Tuscany" by @stonemaiergames.com with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social - our first try with the Mafia module. Just one more thing to think about. (Don't tell her, but I think my gift to the Don is better than hers.)

Mamdani is going to impose Siri Law, where you have to do whatever your digital assistant tells you to do.
Mamdani is going to impose Chablis law, where you have to make your AOC wine exclusively from Chardonnay grapes
Mamdani is going to impose Sananda Maitreya law where you have to change your name if you're Terrence Trent D'Arby.

Lost to @kbowenwriter.bsky.social in "Letter Tycoon." Based on our score records, I have never won this game against her in the ten years we've owned it.

Lost in Yspahan to @kbowenwriter.bsky.social whose souks and buildings outscored my caravan and special cards.

Played "Forest Shuffle" by @lookoutgames.bsky.social with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social - so many ways to score points in this game.

Yesterday lost at "Early American Chrononauts" by @looneylabs.bsky.social to @kbowenwriter.bsky.social who satisfied her timeline thanks in part to my help and her Totally Clean Time Machine.

Last night, played "Estate" and "Knitting Circle" at the FLGS last night. Both new to me, both good. I think @kbowenwriter.bsky.social would like "Knitting Circle" better than "Calico."

@kbowenwriter.bsky.social just reminded me that we played "Castles of Burgundy: The Card Game" (which she won) on Halloween. I can't decide whether I like it better than the OG. They're both good.

Lost in Harbour by @scottalmes.bsky.social to @kbowenwriter.bsky.social who crushed me with the Travel Agent and three warehouses. Such a fun quirky market manipulation game in a compact package.

"Tiny Epic Galaxies" by @scottalmes.bsky.social with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social - fun little dice-chucker

At the FLGS on Tuesday, played Coup, Power Grid:The Card Game, and @hokiestone.bsky.social 's African photo safari prototype.

pretty sure this is the original quote

The merit of charity is so great that I am happy to give to 100 beggars even if only one might actually be needy. Some act as if they are exempt from giving charity to 100 beggars in the event that one might be a fraud. —Rabbi Chaim Halberstam

Yesterday I happened to catch part of "A Star is Born" with James Mason on @tcmtv.bsky.social . Man, Judy Garland really had some chops.
