Dude. Aetherspire rules. Not a perfect game but just such a fun puzzle! Well done @phaseshiftgames.bsky.social. Great cooperative action, fun solo play, familiar flow but original execution.

First play of @bitewinggames.bsky.social’s Silo’s, a new Knizia area control game of human and cow collection. It doesn’t have quite the primal elegance of other notable titles, but there’s a cool puzzle in here I really dig and the presentation is stellar.

Obligatory post-con (and precariously stacked) haul. Of note, arcs is just a box holding the games I brought to the con, but it was too deep to remove for the op. LOL
Who knows how many will stick around but all I’ve played I’ve enjoyed so far, others will be good gifts & donations. #boardgames

Learning @phaseshiftgames.bsky.social’s Aetherspire right now. Aside from being a cooperative tower building and defending (not defense) game, I’m not sure what I’m in for. What I know is, though, I love a game with big chonkers.

First play of @marcelineleiman.bsky.social’s High Tide, glad to see the buzz was real at Indie Game Night Market here at PAX U. It manages to balance a soft coziness with cunning strategy in pretty surprising ways.

Everyone brace yourselves for this shocking take… Ra is really, really good.
1st play of @25thcentury.games turn on Knizia’s iconic auction #boardgame, and it holds up tremendously. Cunning and suspenseful, every part of the narrow system contributes to a significantly greater whole.
