All about games.
We’re a couple (Dustin [he/him] & Choyeon [she/her]) gaming in Gwangju, South Korea 🇰🇷

Hey, we played a board game! (Which feels like a major accomplishment with a snoozing 2-month old in the next room)
Our first play of World Wonders by Zé Mendes. I like it!

Be aware! In Pax Illuminaten there are 11 guys named Johann. Is this the highest concentrations of Johanns in one game? #boardgames

We traded our copy of EARTH for LONDON 2nd edition, and I’m feeling chuffed about it.
It’s a beautiful production and a much better fit for us.

All the cool kids are playing Civolution, but we’re just getting Bonfire off the “shelf of opportunity”.

First game of the year:
Underwater Cities by Vladimir Suchy 🏙️
Cho took this one pretty early on. She had a nice engine going, and was able to build up much faster than me. Good game.

Our 2024 gaming stats 📉
We played some great games this year, but we also played nearly half as much in 2024 as we did in 2023.

We had a house guest staying with us, and I decided to introduce him to S.U.S.A.N.
#PlanetUnknown is a crowd pleaser. 🚀

I played some really good puzzle games this year (Recursed was my favorite), but the real MVP is the Steam Deck’s “suspend” feature. Being able to pause & resume anytime has allowed me to sink an impressive(?) number of hours into KCD despite my “casual gamer” availability.

Nabbed a copy of #HeavenAndAle from the local game exchange and it has already hit the table 3x in one weekend. This is a keeper.

If you’re in Madrid, definitely check out the FLGS “Generation X”. Nice shop with a great selection.
We grabbed a copy of Aldebaran Duel, a card engine builder/track-climber from Vladimir Suchy.

We squeezed in some late night Nova Luna. 🌙 An engaging, but not taxing, puzzle to wind down the day.

Gah! Founders of Gloomhaven is one of the most frustrating #boardgames I’ve played in a while!
Good ideas, buried under muddled graphic design and counterintuitive rules. I think there is a good game under there (somewhere), but it places the onus on its players to excavate it.

I like when games allow players to fail.
Games aren't real life. There are no lasting consequences to making poor choices. Try something new, lose horribly (or maybe not!), and then play again. Sharp edges tend to produce the most memorable plays.

I’m really impressed with the production of Kutna Hora by CGE.
The metallic flourishes and subtle details in the art are not very noticeable in photos, but it looks great! Very clever component design as well.
To me, this is the ideal amount of “deluxification” for a board game.

Our plays for March 2024:
New to us are: Fort and Planet Unknown… which is pretty much all we’ve been playing for the past week.
I’m lukewarm on Planet Unknown, but Cho is addicted. I’m really enjoying Fort though. It feels more like a Chudyk-lite than a deckbuilder.

Yesterday we said farewell to the couple we’ve been gaming with since 2021. Best of luck to them as they embark on a new adventure, but we’ll certainly miss playing together. 😢

Nobody warns you about the furniture requirements of this hobby… We were finally able to purchase a dining table large enough to comfortably play games. 😌
We christened it with a couple of favorites: Teotihuacan and Underwater Cities.

Family came over for Lunar New Year, and Cho made everyone play Castles of Burgundy. Her brother enforced a strict 30-sec/turn policy, and would start flicking people if their time expired 😂
We finished a 4P game (with teach) in an hour.
