I played Oros! It took me a few turns to understand what I was doing but I ended up really liking the action selection system. You move a person to that action, but then it’s blocked until it’s moved or sent to the island.
What’s your favorite game with a bit of a puzzle in action selection?

I played Rebirth for the first time! I’d seen it at Pax Unplugged and it looked interesting, so I was excited to try it. It was a lot simpler than I thought it’d be, but still fun. It’s draw a tile, place a tile with objectives and area control.

This is day 4 of scarf! The pattern says it’s a 6 day scarf… but I really doubt that unless days 5 and 6 are like 12 hours of crocheting each. BUT progress is progress!

Do you do anything unique for craft or board game storage?
Whenever I get stressed, I get the idea in my head that the way to fix whatever it is that’s bothering me is the perfect storage solution for something. Obviously that’s not true but MAYBE IT IS???

Artwork is happening!
I’m really excited about this, as the dice definitely change the way I play the game. I can have a plan… then dice happen, so I have to compensate, but the information learned is new and can be super useful.

Ok, I can’t decide on things. I started with the green in the middle and was going to do an octagon square pattern with the top left or top right, then thought about the yellow and nothing is entirely making me happy.
This is for a blanket. Thoughts on the yellow and green? What color with it?
