My 2025 in board games
By most plays and most time playing.
I guess what the stats don't show was the career change into a role I really love doing and meeting so many awesome people. I also won the game of TI. So yeah, pretty good year.

Finally got one of those fancy custom board game tables.
Closed out the year with my brother racing to complete our Undaunted: Stalingrad campaign. We're neck and neck with 2 missions to go. Next up, Rattenkrieg! 🐀

Ewoks join my Rebel forces in #SWLegion - my final bit of hobby for the year.
There's a little easter egg on the leader's base to connect them with the Riot Troopers I sent to my Secret Santa. Hopefully they'll get to meet on the table.

First time attempting to make chilli crisp. Free handing a bit - not sure of ratios but throwing everything I think might be good into it and hoping for the best.

My local Star Wars: Legion group runs a Secret Santa. Fun chance to paint up units for factions I don't play.
This year I aimed to make this unit of Riot Troopers look as sinister as possible.
Looking forward to facing off against them.
