I have chosen the Humphead Wrasse from Finspan

🐟 Like all Wrasses, the Humphead Wrasse can change sex over its lifespan, transitioning from female to male.

🐟 The Humphead Wrasse is currently listed as endangered.

🍕 Fort is a deck builder with fantastic graphic design and a fun theme. It reminds me of the endless days of summer break as a child of the 80s! In Fort you collect stuff (toys and pizza!) and upgrade your fort while you gather friends, sometimes stealing them from someone else’s yard!

💚 Green 💚

I have chosen the Praying Mantis from the delightful game, Meadow from @rebelstudio.eu . The praying mantis looks so sweet and innocent on this card, but they are deadly hunters!

💚 Some mantises have been known to prey on small vertebrates like hummingbirds and lizards!

🌍 Earth is the perfect blend of beautiful and thinky! I thought it was perfect, but then I figured that an expansion might make it even better, and it did! The Abundance expansion adds just enough that it improves the game, but not so much that it lengthens play time or makes things convoluted.

🍺 Other than chess, I didn’t have a lot in my collection with a checkerboard pattern. I decided to go with Taverns of Tiefenthal as the customers have checkered tablecloths!

🍣 Let’s Go! To Japan is just SO lovely. It looks beautiful on the table and it’s fun to play! But the best part is imagining each day of your week long trip in Kyoto and Tokyo!

It’s Monday and that means it’s time to play #MysteryMonday🎲

Today’s theme is

💎 TRINKETS & BAUBLES 💎

🤔 Do you know which game this ring is from?

Last week’s theme was 🌳NATURE🌳 and I chose Redwood! Quite a few of you knew this one!

🦒 Giraffes are my favourite animal so I was so excited to get Kavango to the table and realize that I could both play as a giraffe AND put a giraffe in my tableau! ❤️

🦒 Giraffe’s spots are like fingerprints. Each giraffe has a unique pattern.

🦒 Their hair covered horns are called ossicones.

It’s Thursday and this week’s theme is Camper/RV

This one was HARD! I was sure there would be a camper on one of the cards in Photo Tour by but the only one I could find was on one of the player boards!

🌳 What’s a good game to play outside?

🦀 Seaside is made to play outside! It comes in this adorable beach-ready bag. The pieces are made from lightweight wood that can be wiped clean if necessary. No cards to blow away or small pieces to lose!

I had quite a few purple games in the collection!

It’s Mystery Monday!

Today’s theme is

🐿️🌳 NATURE 🌳🐿️

🤔 Do you know which game these flora and fauna components are from?

Last week’s theme was 🔥FIRE🔥 and I chose the campfire card from the game Tranquility: The Ascent.

🪶Wingspan is a modern classic! I still love the elegant gameplay but, most of all, I love reading about the birds! Northern Cardinals are common in the area where I live in the winter time, so I thought this handsome fellow would be the perfect little guy to represent the colour red.

July was a fantastic month! I figured that we would have to give up on our game a day streak but we managed to play a game every day on our travels! Now that we are past the halfway point, I’m pretty determined to play a game every day in 2025!

🪷 Gentle Rain is a solo game where you lay tiles trying to match flowers. When you complete a circle, you place one of the special flower tokens. The goal is to get all of the flower tokens on the board, hopefully with tiles to spare. It plays beautifully solo but also as a chill co-op game.

🌶️ Chipotle is, of course, a fast food chain, but it’s also the name for a smoke-dried ripe jalapeño, and of this character from the 2022 game, Chili Mafia. Chili Mafia is a take-that filled set collection game.

🎲 A board game about making board games? I’m here for it! Tabletop Inc. is a worker placement game where the goal is to develop and produce board games and, hopefully, win awards for them! You even have little game boxes and the punny titles take it over the top (my favourite is Beak Size! 🤣)

Which mechanism instantly makes you suspicious of a game?

🫱🏻Dexterity games. Terrible. Thankfully, there is one exception that we really enjoy, and that’s Kluster! 🧲 Place your magnets into a ring without causing any to stick together.

It’s Monday and that means it’s time for another #MysteryMonday🎲 and this week’s theme is

🔥 FIRE 🔥

🤔 Can you guess which game this card featuring a camp fire is from?

😈 Last week the theme was ABSURD and not a single person knew the game Burn in Hell (2004). Not a great game, but fun cards!

One new to us play this week:

👂🏻Exquisite Corpse is a puzzle game where you are trying to create a closed route using body parts. If you like Bandido/Bandida, and enjoy art, this game may be for you!

Our game of the week this week is 🎢 Unfair 🎢. This is our absolute favourite game!

🪴Planted is the ultimate in cozy vibes. It brings me back to the early days of the pandemic, hanging out at home discovering new hobbies. While I certainly wouldn’t want to go back to those times, there is something to be said for the way it forced us all to slow down and enjoy being at home!

⛳️ More river cruise games! On the top deck they have putting greens and shuffleboard. I am terrible at both. But they are perfect entries for “Play a non-board game”.

🛥️ We are on a river cruise from Bucharest to Budapest. Today we are docked in Nikopol, Bulgaria, and had a free afternoon after a morning excursion so we hung out in the lounge and got some games in. I think this counts for the “Play a Waterside Game” prompt!

🚊 We are travelling in Romania right now and yesterday had the chance to visit the Red Goblin in Bucharest! What a fantastic store! They had a great game collection as well as lots of other geek culture stuff. The staff were absolutely lovely as well. We, of course, couldn’t leave empty handed!

We reached the end of June, and the halfway point of 2025, and we have played a game every day this year!

🙋🏻Any questions about June’s plays?
