The King’s Guild. It was a close game as we both made magic clothing and swords to defeat dragons, necromancers and spy on people. M was announced as the new King as he had scored more points from quests - what a way to chose a monarch! #boardgames #theking’sguild

We managed to win LOTR Fate of the Fellowship. We came to the conclusion it’s super hard with two, Frodo and Sam are a bit of a burden! We played two characters each who had four actions and then 1 action of F + S at the end of each turn - it worked well.

A rainy afternoon playing Isle of Cats. Lessons seemed to be hard to come across so the game felt less constrained. A (in a first), managed to fill most of their boat and had a family of 9 orange cats.

We played our favourite Span this evening, it was a high scoring game. M managed to get 28 points from 4 bonus cards, we think this is a record for us. Unusually not many points were gained from eggs, we both got over 50 points of birds.

We played the last chapter of There and Back Again, defeating Smaug. Overall we enjoyed working through the story, some chapters more involved than others. We would be happy to play any of of the scenarios again, A might even try the solo mode.

Another Flatout game Calico. Victory was decided by buttons. M got most points from cats and A from making the patterns. However as usual M was better at collecting button with 4 to A’s 1. Super crunchy for a small game!

We are enjoying our plays of Knitting Circle. A made a lot of socks to keep cold toes warm!
We backed Cascadia Alpine Lakes on KS this weekend. We love all the small box Flatout games.

Canopy is one of our favourite 2 player games. This was a close match, A got points from having two big trees and the biggest forest. M had a good collection of animals and played a lot of seeds during the game. #boardgames #canopy

A couple of plays of Fuse yesterday evening. The first was a disaster as the ship exploded as we struggled to defuse the bombs. Second play we succeeded with 2 1/2 mins left on the clock. A fun game that deserves more table time.

Another play of the hugely enjoyable Finspan. A high scoring game, we both got over 100. M won by having placed two more fish. We are looking forward to the upcoming expansion - there are never too many fish in the sea!

We played the penultimate chapter of There and back again. The rules were quite complicated and it took longer to play than the others. M won by getting to all the bonus squares first.

It was great to spend Sunday afternoon playing Viticulture with friends. As usual it felt like getting to twenty five points was difficult but then suddenly three players managed it on the same turn. J who only had a few points on the penultimate turn came second! #boardgames #viticulture

Our number of logged plays of Sagrada reached 243 yesterday. We played this a lot when we didn’t have so many fillers, it’s our most played game. We have a couple of the early expansions but tend to play with just the basic rules.

Another couple of plays of There and Back Again. Each episode feels different and is well themed around the book. M won both our games. We ended up with an awful lot of ink on our fingers!

We decided on playing a ‘span and chose Wyrm. We find this the most complex of the three games, taking the most time to play. M won in a high scoring match by having the most end of game scoring dragons.

We’ve only played Dice Forge 3 times this year, 2 were on BGA. Today we played our copy to decide if we should keep it in our collection. It’s staying, it’s so much more fiddly to play in person but that’s a strength, we actually enjoy changing the die faces! #boardgames #diceforge

After a what felt like a long day we only had capacity for a few lighter games. First Caracas which we are really enjoying, A won by a single point. Then Faraway which always has excitement at the end of the game as the cards are slowly flipped and scored. #boardgames #faraway #caracas

A Place For All My Books will probably feature on our favourite new games of 2025 list. This game wasn’t close M did a better job of gaining the shared goals and buying a lot of books.

We played a couple of shorter games one evening. First a game of Habitats, A managed to make most of their animals happy and do well on the end of round bonuses. We finished with Footsteps of Darwin which M won by having more compass and map bonuses. An animal based evening!

During Covid we played a lot of co-ops, buying quite a few including Roll For Adventure. It was played a lot in 2021 but not much since. Yesterday we pulled it off the shelf and enjoyed our game after reminding ourselves of the rules. #boardgames #rollforadventure

Another game of I made you a mixtape. M is much better at making a balanced set of songs. Maybe if A started singing some of the tracks it would be enough to put M off doing so well!

Our first two plays of I Made You A Mixtape. It has a good crunchy feeling for a lighter game. Choosing which cards to put in the I cut you chose is quite difficult as is ending the game with a good balance between side A and side B. We enjoyed it!

Yesterday was a good day for games! Two of our kickstarters arrived, I Made You A Mixtape (which we play tested an early version of) and Fighting Fantasy Adventures. We finally got a copy of Earthborne Rangers and the roll and write There and Back Again. Who needs Essen?! #boardgames

Dominion was a game we bought years ago when we started our journey into the wonderful world of board games. It felt nice to dust it off this evening and play a couple of hands. M won both games.
