Heroes of Land, Air & Sea for me. I punched and set up Zach's new copy with him and we both looked at it, looked at each other, and promptly swept it all back in to the box. He sold it shortly after, never having played it.

I watched the first two episodes of DC's newest animated show, Creature Commandos, and it was quite a ride. The animation is gorgeous, the writing is engaging (and not at all child friendly — they show necrophilia, for fuck's sake), and the soundtrack is by Gogol Bordello. Highly recommend.

I just played Restart from Unlock Extraordinary Adventures with my daughter, and it was the worst Unlock we've played in years. It was so unintuitive, and it was listed as 1/3 difficulty. If the box didn't already have two more scenarios in it, I might never play an Unlock again after that one.

If I were smarter, I'd have bought a chocolate Advent calendar so I could give myself a treat each day when I solve the riddle.

my #BGStats for November. As the temperature starts to drop, my number of plays starts to rise. Highlights include the Curse of the Dark escape room game, Five Tribes on BGA, and learning Creature Caravan and Let's Go! to Japan.

The Great Barrier Reef Card Game has coral meeples (and it's a very good small-box game).

Are you talking about this version? If so, I think it might just be your copy, as mine doesn't feel that way at all. Sorry you had that experience. (And yes, the graphic design is garish.)

To give you a tidbit of Vimes' character, and Pratchett's writing, one of the most famous bits he wrote was the Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

I've had this for a really long while, and haven't yet played it. It's because I played the original Exit the Abandoned Cabin with my dad, and he's since passed. But it's been years now, and it's a rainy Saturday and I've nothing else to do, so I think it's time.

Our rescue dog Duncan had a routine x-ray done yesterday ahead of being neutered, and it showed that he has a bullet lodged in his back. I can't imagine how this dog, who has the sweetest disposition, could have been shot, but here we are.

Agreed. And reminds me of this quote from a Mexican revolutionary.

My plays for February. Finished TTR: Legacy, and loved it. Got Trickerion to the table for the first time since 2016. Learned Altered, Splendor Duel, Tidal Blades, Savernake Forest, and MLEM. Did some solo one shots — Clue: Treachery at Tudor Manor, Body on the Boardwalk, and The Easter Escapade.

Here's mine. Edge of Tomorrow was a rewatch. For the record, the worse reviews Madame Web gets, the more interested I am to see it. But I'll almost certainly hold off and watch it at home.
