Tried Finspan this weekend and was genuinely surprised. I expected more of the same from the Wingspan/Wyrmspan line, but it’s impressively streamlined and stands on its own. Smooth, clever, and fun. Definitely worth checking out. #whatdidyouplaymondays #boardgames

@thedollop.bsky.social is a history podcast where comedian Dave Anthony reads a story from American history to his co-host, Gareth Reynolds—who has no idea what the topic will be about. The result is a hilarious and insightful deep dive into the strange corners of the past.

'Forest Shuffle' is a beautifully illustrated card game where you build a forest ecosystem. Designed by Kosch and published by @lookoutgames.bsky.social, each multi-use card blends decision-making and strategy, earning it the 2024 Deutscher Spiele Preis.

I’m grateful to have a place like Lost in Fun here in Lincoln! On rainy days like this, having a clean, climate-controlled space where little ones can run, jump, and play is an absolute lifesaver.

Point City is a card-drafting, engine-building game from the creators of Point Salad. It expands on its predecessor’s mechanics, blending tactical decisions with quick, strategic play—all in about 30 minutes.

Lately, we’ve been making a point to step outside our usual spots, and that led us to El Cielito Lindo Mexican Restaurant. Tucked away at 100 N 1st St, this unassuming gem serves up a fantastic variety of Mexican classics—tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and more.

The chickens and I enjoyed the warm weather and did a little spring cleaning of the coop before the blizzard hit. This is one, giving a squawk of approval once the work had been finished.

'Meadow' is a beautifully illustrated game. Published by Rebel Studio and designed by Klemens Kalicki, it blends strategic planning with a relaxing experience. If you enjoy games like 'Wingspan' or 'Parks', this one might be worth a look!

Always a pleasure to stop at The Game Shoppe in Bellevue, NE. Picked up the rest of the MicroMacro series and 'Forest Shuffle'. Looking forward to getting them to the table!

Sower Books is a locally owned and delightfully welcoming bookstore. Whether you’re a dedicated bookworm or just browsing, Tory (and the community there) has curated an excellent inventory of tomes that always seems to have something special.

When the coolant comes to a boil, that means it's time to throw in the pasta.

I am building cabinets. I have never built cabinets before.

Should be fun. Right?

At the insistence of our child (and the kindness of his Granny), Ms. Sally Walter has been this week's furry guest of honor.
