Board games, some video games.
I like strategy games with minimal luck.

Got to play Rebirth & also squeezed in a round of Ra last night. Two very different experiences, but both showcase R. Knizia’s signature elegance—tight, clever, and deceptively simple. The man really knows how to make games that feel fair… even when you’re barely winning. 🎲 #BoardGames #RainerKnizia

@meeplelady.bsky.social have you played Neither King Nor God?
The biggest game I played at SPIEL: #NeitherKingNorGod @soundofdrumgames.bsky.social
Despite its epicness, it plays both smoothly and with little downtime – thanks to its action selection system of sending out courtiers to Europe's hotspots.

Enjoyed a game of Orleans the other day. One of my favorites that I don’t own. #boardgames

Finally got to play Fled! It’s a fun little puzzle and a bowl of nice frustration when you can’t do everything you want.

Tried Tiny Bookshop on Switch—way outside my usual sports/FPS comfort zone, but this cozy little sim totally surprised me.
Yeah, it can get a bit repetitive, but even as someone who doesn’t read much, I found the gameplay immersive and charming.

One of my highlights of Origins 2025 was playing The First Monday of October. A great worker placement immersed in theme. At the same time you don’t need to love the theme to appreciate the game play. #boardgames @fortcircle.bsky.social

Finally got to play Arcs at Origins after watching it light up other tables all weekend. Tight, clever, beautiful—totally worth the wait. Sad to leave, but what a way to close it out. #OriginsGameFair #ArcsGame #BoardGames #PostConBlues #timeforanap

Taught Weather Machine at Origins and completely botched the rules. Somehow… very on theme. Still a blast, still confusing, still ready for round 2. #VitalLacerda #OriginsGameFair #WeatherMachine #BoardGameChaos

At Origins Game Fest this week and already dropped my first two games of A Gest of Robin Hood. Off to a thematically accurate start, I guess. 😅 #OriginsGameFair #BoardGames #RobinHood #TabletopTroubles

18XX games can be great fun to spend time with; especially if you are interesting in period and area they are describing plus love Railways. Recently we played two titles and had enormous fun with them - enjoy my session reports!

Exciting session with 18XX games!
While I am first and foremost interested in conflict, political and historical types of boardgames, I like to play an economy themed game form time to time. And what would be a better title than on…
