Dental surgery aftermath: hungry, slightly sore, and officially on the soft food diet.

Mmmm...porridge 🥣

Thinking of streaming a casual solo play of Hoplomachus Victorum soon…

Lets see how this goes 👀

Well, I thought I cracked the code on dice storage… turns out I was wrong. 😂

Dollar store came through with stackable containers that "click" together!

Honestly… kinda loving these new ones... 😬✨
Dice storer in small containers. Dice stored in small, round, stackable containers.

Spoons at zero, loyalty at 20 but I am still watching out for the party, haha

Looking forward to Cottages and Cerberus Part II!

✨ Loving CMYK Games’ bright colours and paper packaging. It really stands out!

No Thanks! ➡️ pass or pay chips to dodge cards, but tension builds fast.

I’m Out! ➡️ race to drop cards and be first to shout “I’m out!”.

We enjoyed both. Light, quick, and great with more players!
@cmyk.games
No Thanks! game with the box open. Components in a paper back and the cards are face down beside them in their own slot. No Thanks! cards scatterfed on the table face down with a green and silver back. The cards face up are in a staggered horizontal stack and another pile has a few cards on it with the number 19 on top. There are pink round wooden components in a pile. I'm Out! cards are scattered on the table. The cards have large numbers on them and multi coloured. There is a deck of the cards face down and the back of the cards also have a melange of colours.

I am not feeling great today so I'm taking it easy with some Hell's Kitchen and CloverPit.

Quite the combo. 😆

🦊🎲 We played The Fox Experiment last game day and we liked the trait‑passing mechanics and charming theme. Fun, cute, and definitely hitting the table again!

A board where trait tokens are placed in the various rows. The main player area with cards with listed traits, some marked off with an X. The main board is above.

It is cleaning day! 😏

Who else buys their hair, body and skin care in bulk? Then organises it by type, size, labels out, and oldest products to the front? 😁

Wait until you see my clothes organization. *chef's kiss* 💋

I had a few bad breaks while playing Egging On haha

Now I’m on the hunt for the most egg-cellent puns to hatch into the next podcast.

Drop your best yolks below 👇

I am watching the show Loot and they are playing Ticket to Ride.

The name of his friend made me chuckle.

🎲 Solo adventurer dilemma: which dungeon crawl or solo RPG gets the spotlight today?

⚖️ Creepy Death 🆚 Certain Death
Choices, choices… 🤔

Big thanks to @gamegenic.com for the dice trays & vibrant dice that bring colour to my otherwise shadowy quests.

❄️ Our last day at Ludicon got cut short by a snowstorm, but we played a few quick games of Rudolph in our room 🦌✨. Each round you’re racing to build the best sleigh by quickly grabbing reindeer cards that will work towards goals for points. Quick, festive, fun and a nice gift for the holidays! 🎄
The box cover of the game with reindeer on it and the title of the game is Rudolph. Cards laid out in a row with reindeer on them. Two piles of different backed cards below the row.

🌊 Rivages is a quick draft‑and‑write exploration game where you chart islands, uncover relics, and score points by filling in your map. It’s light on player interaction, which makes it perfect for solo play or a relaxed game convention session. A fun, breezy game without pressure.

✨ We enjoyed the game Gems of Iridescia! A worker‑placement game of mining gems, restoring relics, and pushing your luck toward the throne with secret objectives, dice‑driven mining, and the Merchant adding fun elements. A nice one to play with the family and created by a Montreal designer! 💎🎲
Player board with gems in recessed spaces. There are piles of hex tiles above the board and objective cards to the side. Main board with terrain hex tiles. There are a column of different coloured sparkle dice. There are three darker dice below. The main board with tetrain hex and player pieces. Sparkle dice are on the right side of the board.

Been deep-diving into the weird case of Alex Dunn and his disappearance in Curios Albrecht Manor. The more I dig, the stranger it gets. Something supernatural might actually be going on… 🫣

Ludicon was a blast and of course, we added to our dice hoard! 🎲✨

@819steph.bsky.social picked up some magical mushroom dice 🍄 and I grabbed a set full of sparkle. 🌟

The designer's cards disappeared into a bag of holding, but these handmade gems came from Quebec based companies! 💖⚜️🇨🇦⚜️

🏖️ The Sandcastles of Burgundy is a fun family game where you decorate your village for the royal beach party. Adults should learn the rules first and guide kids while playing for a simpler, smoother play.

There are a couple of variants which will keep things interesting in future games!🦀
A main board with plastic sandcastle on square spaces on the board. There is a crab token on top of the front middle castle.
