I get to move on tracks, left and right. Guess which way I get to move each of them!!! 😡

Heaven forbid we just use + and - for movement on a linear track.

Was able to teach Galactic Cruise tonight to cap a month of pretty good games!

August plays. Only 1 win in Fate of the Fellowship, which turns out to be a much different to the other Pandemic system games. And so much fun bringing back out Elysium and Deus which are classics now.

The Fountain from The Op. Very interesting little game. Kinda like Number 9, but scoring different elements. Note that I didn’t build up as much as others.

July plays! Rediscovered the wonder of Deus. It’s so good!! And Murder at the Movie Theater was a great investigation game that @melissaneikirk.bsky.social got us as a birthday gift. 😁

Well after downloading the new Ark Nova app a few weeks ago, I just finished my 50th game on it. Most of these are against the Challenges which are so much fun.

June games! Duck and Cover is REALLY good. Perfect little game on game night. Oh, and Ark Nova app on iOS is too convenient. This doesn’t show all my solo games on it, which would be… a lot! 😅

The underlying narrative was some epic games of Ark Nova with @melissaneikirk.bsky.social.

LotR TTG is so dang good. It’s really holding up month after month.

Shout out to Quicksand for not being too rough of a real-time, dex game for me. 😅

Maybe the best video highlighting the important of recognizing the dangers of AI and intentionally curating our information. What are we prioritizing, speed/convenience or community/intelligence?

On days like this we celebrate all the wins we get.

Like finally putting the very last of the Christmas stuff!

I love board games. My favorite is when people put meat and cheese on a board. Maybe some crackers and fruit.

I'm really good at that one.

Malby was using his litter box when his automatic feeder went off for lunch. In mid-stream he had a moment of confusion and abject horror. Luckily he finished and leapt/ran to go eat, not even bothering to cover (flush).

Thanks little guy for the self control. ❤️😌❤️

I am already so very, very tired.

Malby was such a good boy at the vet today that he had 2 assistants swooning! “Such a handsome kitty!” “He’s such a good boy.”

(He’s going to be ok. Early stage kidney disease with possible crystals meant we brought him in just to be sure.)

Fit to Print: real time with a semi-dexterity element (think Galaxy Trucker but you’re laying out a newspaper) with a player eliminated because you had 1 less of the thing which you only get to not get eliminated. I’m glad some people like it, but it is NOT for me.

I’m really excited that football season is here again. Starting it off with a Lions win over Kansas City is just about a pleasant start as it gets.

That being said, #GoHawks!
