Board games. Dogs. Hip-hop music. Baseball.
Maybe the reason traffic is so terrible in Bangkok is that cars aren't actually allowed to move

Nusfjord, by Uwe Rosenberg & Lookout Games. Nusfjord feels somewhat similar to Rosenberg's big worker placement games, but in a shorter time frame. The fish economy is clever!

For my tastes, among Rosenberg's games it's 1a or 1b alongside A Feast for Odin. #boardgames

I played Ticket to Ride on the Japan map. Japan is a good one; among the maps I've played, it's at the top with Pennsylvania. The white Shinkansen trains -- which are shared by all players -- really change up the strategy! #boardgames

I haven't watched Asura yet, but it's on my list!

The same writer/director (Kore-eda Hirokazu) also worked on the series The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House. I recently watched it, and I liked it quite a bit! It's gentle & heartwarming.

Today I played Pirates of Maracaibo from @capstone-games.bsky.social . The original Maracaibo is my favorite game, so I had high hopes for Pirates. A lot feels familiar, but it's streamlined. I like it! This will work great when I'm in the mood for Maracaibo but don't have a lot of time.

I did the Pub Meeple thing for the first time in 2 years and re-ranked my board game collection. Here's my current top 9!

Is there any overlap with your favorites? We should be friends! ☺️

Tonight I received as a gift the new Criterion 4k/Blu-ray of Farewell My Concubine. I'm so happy! It's one of my all-time favorite films: beautiful, poetic, devastating. I feel so many things every time I watch this.

I played Windmill Valley for the first time today. It has a lot of fun Euro stuff: action gears that can be upgraded, multi-use cards. There's something rewarding to do on every turn. It's high on my list of 2024 favorites. #boardgames

This Bangkok shop's name translates to: "I will drink iced tea everyday." That's also pretty much my motto when I'm in Bangkok.

I have a lot of new followers (like 3) so I figured I'd do a proper introduction. These pictures capture me pretty well: always interested in playing a board game, always dogs hovering nearby.
