It's a pretty great feeling when a game you are this excited for turns up looking oh so sharp. Congrats to @yoyoni.bsky.social, @joedewhurst.bsky.social , @thedietzfoundation.bsky.social etc al!

Im going to have to call an emergency pre-Essen call of the grogs.

Tornado Splash is a hoot, A+ table presence, as long as your table is big enough!

If "Zachtonics Solitaire x The Roottrees Are Dead" isn't gobbldeygook to you, then you already know I'm telling you Occlude is great.

For everyone else: if you want calm deduction with spooky vibes wrapped in a classic card game shawl- then OCCLUDE from @tributarygames.bsky.social is great.

I dunno, look at the action- wooosh, that's card play!

A Molly House (from @wehrlegig.games) double header (with Condotierre as a filler). First game 5p, Community Infiltration, but a loss even for the hated informant (me). Second game, community survival and joy at 3p, thanks to a gin-soaked violin-fuelled final festivity at the last!

The game ends and the Republic survives! SPD win with 66 points, Zentrum in second with 60. But both the KPD and DNVP set up councils/regimes either the KDP a single roll from take over. A very narrow line was walked, and a good time had by all!

Turn 6 dawns, Black Friday hit hard- the DNVP saw its support base collapse thanks to inviting in the brownshirts, unrest and poverty returned and the KDP capitalise with 3 councils. Now the people turn to the old, fragile coalition of SPD and Zentrum, promising economic improvements and stability.

Turn 3 ended with a rush for parliament, and resulted in a DNVP-Zentrum coalition. Turn 4 saw the KDP mass for coups and demonstrating, but made poor progress. And so turn 5 dawns with the DNVP opting to collaborate with the brownshirts, Germany is stable. For now!
March 15, 2025 at 2:45 PM
End of turn 2 and the Zentrums attemps at economic stability have been met with contempt. The KPD is in government and the DNVP have a regime in Berlin...

Saturday of Vanguard is kicking off with Weimar. I feel I may have drawn the short straw as Zentrum, but we have narrowly surived turn 1. Twice being at 6 DR and rolling for a potential 7. But München is lovely this time of year?

And some more from Friday eve!

Age of Steam is great, but the tweaks for Denmark are 👨‍🍳🤌

I had to look it up. That's a game with an impressive number of themes! I think the box art for Kanagroo is charming, and though the stacking turtles are lovely too- but I agree the buffet theme seems like the strongest, it is the funniest and most relatable? I hope the gameplay suits it!

The fastest I've ever had a project arrive from crowdfunding AND in time for a clear weekend to read? TYVM @nutspublishing.bsky.social and editors!

The park is home to a select few relocated statues created during the Hungarian post-WW2 era. Memory & history are always contested: these statues + the choices about which stay, which come down, & which to relocate- are some of the most strikingly literal presentations of that contest I can imagine

NYE is always a major time for remembering, so Finn humoured me with a trip to 'Memento park' on the foggy and freezing outskirts of Budapest. Who says we don't know how to have fun?

Since @thatphoenicia.bsky.social is now here, I have permission to share her Halloween costume this year. The scariest thing of all: 2004 Spiel des Jahres winner 'Ticket to Ride'

My flight in was spent chatting to an off duty air stewardess flying home to Indy. Hadn't heard of Catan, exclusively referred to Gen Con as "Gen Tech- a funny dress up thing", but owns and plays 3 games: Crockinole, Pan Am (with whom she had started her career 70s), and Pit Crew!
