Starting to play a bit on Board Game Arena. Not too bad so far. #boardgames #BGA

Played two of the small Ticket to Ride games yesterday with my wife. I won both of them. 😀Berlin and Paris. I liked Berlin a little better than Paris.

New game tonight! Vicious Gardens from @atlasgames.bsky.social. Easy to learn and fairly quick to play. We definitely enjoyed it. Plays well with two players.

Since joining Bluesky and finding the board game community here, I have definitely become more aware of the wide variety of games available as well as the wide variations in individual tastes in games.

I do sometimes see a new game that I need to buy. 😁

Another one I decided to back:

kck.st/3ReNRqT

Looks fairly unique for a two-player game.

Scales of Fate
A two-player strategic deduction board game.

Backing this one.

Partly because I'll most likely never get the first tea-themed game I backed. 🙁

Smuggle dishes, smash food, and serve tea in this whimsical strategy game for 1-4 tea-loving pirates.

Four Kickstarter projects that I had saved launched today. I don't think I can afford to support all of them!

I just had to pay extra on a crowdfunded game thanks to DJT's tariffs. I'm sure this won't be the last time. 😡

Recently upgraded from a Keurig to a Ninja Pods and Grounds machine. www.ninjakitchen.com/products/nin...

While it can use K-Cups, it really does a better job with ground coffee. That also eliminates some plastic waste.

Yes, and the corporations pass it on to the end consumers. That's the only "trickle down" that happens.
To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

Started using Board Game Stats @bgstatsapp.bsky.social. I play a lot of digital adaptations on Steam. Should I log those, or just actual tabletop plays?

Played Everdell Duo for the first time today. Really enjoyed it once we got it figured out. 😀Also the first time playing any "Everdell" game.

Question for those who have played both Everdell Duo and the original Everdell game: How do they compare?

I think the current POTUS wants to get rid of everyone other than billionaires in this country. 😡
Republicans in Congress just voted for massive cuts to healthcare so they can pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Unbelievable.

This might make me consider switching if it wasn't so expensive to do so. #Apple #DEI
💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders.

Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.
