Second solo game of Star Trek: Captain’s Chair was a win for me against the bot, 68 to 61. My brain hurts! This was the table state before I resumed today for the last few rounds. #boardgames

Past me thought that a Batman roleplaying game sounded rad. Half the pledge came today. Guess I’ve got some reading to do.

I didn’t realise how aggressively Fantasy Flight Games were making Arkham Horror boxes out of print, so I’ve missed any window to purchase the Scarlet Keys Campaign box. From what I can tell, it’s the most divisive one, but still would have liked to get it. #boardgames

About to start a solo game of Dune Imperium Uprising. It’s been long between games, so am playing on Novice. And will likely still get trounced! #boardgames

Not many plays this month, but I loved Men Nefer and Civolution. The latter has replaced about 4 other euros for me, some of which I’ve already sold off. #boardgames

Kaiden’s third viewing of K-Pop and it’s growing on me. It was this or Daddy Daycare again, so I’m down with Soda Pop.

Aghast at the price of adding shaded minis to some pledges, I whipped up a dark wash in 20 seconds and tried it out on my War of the Ring minis. Looks fine to me. (I’ll paint these with colour - just wanted to prove to myself)

Got Tainted Grail Kings of Ruin today. Had forgotten I went for sundropped minis. It’s fairly cool, but a few issues. I think I’d be able to produce similar results (spending time, effort and materials, admittedly). Don’t think I’ll pay for it again in future.

Reminded Kaiden that it’s board games tomorrow at my work with a couple of my mates and he said, “Heck yeah!”
Then quietly, “Dad, I kinda want to say f-word yeah.”

Yesterday, my son & I formed a long term plan to search for enough bananas in DK Bananza to unlock a post-completion skill on his profile.
I went and got his lunch and came back and he had a huge grin. He’d worked out that he could just spend coins at the Chip Exchange and already had the skill.

I’m very deep in this across three massive games 😬. Don’t want to submit a refund ticket, but also….
Financially-troubled board game publisher CMON has sold its global headquarters after suffering a $12m H1 revenue slump - and is charging some pre-order customers extra to cover tariffs it says it "cannot absorb given our current financial position”:
