Space Empires: 4x. All good things must come to an end.
Part way into a 3v1 of Space Empires: 4x, with all expansions. Yellow, Green, and Red are teamed up to play against a super powered Blue.

A while back a friend got me a nice kit for this, I assume intended by Stanley for holding screws or something. It's awesome but I might need to get another...
A "Stanley" organizer, full of game components.

Should have made an "assembly" variant in BG Stats to time this.
A complex but beautiful dice tower from Fate of the Fellowship that looks like the tower of Mordor.

"I don't know if all my rolls tonight add up to 20." -- rolls a 20.
A 20 on a 20-sided die, in a box.

Improvised miniatures are as good as any.
Two pieces of trail mix on a quickly sketched RPG map.

Tasting the Cote Rôtie today.
The three E. Guigal "La Las" — syrah from the Northern Rhône valley, some co-fermented with viognier.

Shinjuku: Airports.
Two copies of Shinjuku on the table, one with a new Osaka map. Playing with three players on each map, with a kind of bughouse "airports" ruleset.

Not very many plays this month for me; May should be a better game time for sure.

This is such a cool bit of graphic design.

Found it, @garykac.bsky.social !
A copy of Shinjuku's European printing, found at Stratagemma in Florence.

That said, Osaka plays very well, at least on a first attempt.
Shinjuku: Osaka edition. End of game.

It's amazing how lucky @garykac.bsky.social was for picking Tokyo for the first one of these.

Testing out a significant simplification in Echo from the Dark.
Start of a game of Echo from the Dark, setting up for an attempt where the resource rules have been removed. Weirdly shaped pawns for Echo from the Dark, because that's what I still have lying around. End of a test of Echo, with a lot to learn from the play. Hard to figure out some things while also running two factions, but still helpful.
