Is there an app for this, I have never disassociated better than when this was illuminating my room as the whiniest Emo played for hours…

Chores done and painting with the youngest, not a bad way to spend Sunday afternoon.

That time you killed me last night! I really love this game, easy to pick up but a ton of thinking once your focus starts changing eras. Worrying about your past present and future selves while shifting between past, present and future every turn is challenging and really fun! #boardgames

Finally got my Pokémon wall up in my office. Room for additions but I like all the pieces I’ve made so far. I really like my fossil set with the little museum style cards! “Lone trainer at the Lake of Rage” is still my favorite. Very Lucky painting find at a yard sale that screamed add #Pokémon!

It ain’t a fit night out for man or beast!

Peach and her Bunny friend Manson are plotting something, as usual 🙄 the ladies are probably trying to steal my name or something.

Ramen Bowl > Super Bowl, little game of Ramen Fury on a snowy night. Youngest had a little help. #boardgames #Ramenfury #Shyguy

Appa and I don’t mind the snow if it stays above 10 degrees! 🥶

Tough loss tonight. 6hp left on the boss and the heart wasn’t in the cards for the last turn order pull. Till next time #Astroknights

Finally talked my partner into playing Fire Tower with the expansions and they loved it! I really like the fire hawks element and the new actions cards add some new strategies.

Great article! As an avid hiker this game sounds amazing! My boys and I enjoy Fire Tower so I took them hiking in the ADK to the Mount Arab Fire Tower. We loved it! I think my partner would enjoy the mild competition style too!

Solo game of Mouse Cheese Cat Cucumber while waiting for laundry. Great Escape mode is fun and easy to pick up, scaling difficulty if you’re looking to make it more challenging. Met the creator a few years ago at PAX Unplugged and played this and Hedgehog Hop.

@geekygoodies.bsky.social Lucky to squeeze in two games on a busy weekend. Black Mold with the family. I made Black Mold shakes for us (cookies and cream) and ended Sunday night with an Astro♦️Knights win! #WhatDidYouPlayMondays #Boardgames

Not an easy run but Silarix survived the Lunaris assault.

End the weekend with some Astro♦️Knights! #boardgames #tabletop

We haven’t dug into it yet but they add weapons and equipment I know! He also hooked us up with cards signed by the artist, that’s mine!

I even made a little sand storm for our copy of Desert. Sky went all in on their pieces and jungle has its own figures. I want to make little clear blue resin tiles for Island sometime.

Lots of great games but I think I come back to this series a lot. My boys and I love to play them and Forbidden Island is my go to gift game to get people into gaming.
