Played a solo game of “A Place for All my Books” the other day. Nothing groundbreaking but it was a nice, chilled and relaxing experience. The solo Automa was easy to manage with little overhead which is always a plus in my book. 7/10 for me.

When I found out that the designer had an unofficial solo mode on BGG, I immediately bought it. Got it played and had a really good time with this game. Great job @gamesbymondo.bsky.social and @25thcentury.games . Another home run!

New game played! Ruins from @allplay.bsky.social games. Designed by John D. Clair, the amazing designer of Mystic Vale. Had a fun time with this one. A fairly simple card shedding game but the cards can be upgraded to improve your hand ultimately helping you to score more points.

We played a 6 player game of Twilight Imperium 4th edition this last weekend. Had a really good time even though it took us 10 hours to play its entirety. Definitely would play again!

Played a solo game of Paladins of the West Kingdom the other night. This is an amazing game with an amazing Automa. Easy to manage but also elegant and challenging.

Played a solo game of Shelfie Stacker from Arkus games and designed by Shem Phillips. Really enjoy this puzzly game. This time I decided to play against the Shem-bot instead of the BYOS version. It was certainly a challenge.

Played two solo games of Saltfjord today. I really enjoyed this polyomino tile laying game. Easy to learn but hard to master. My first game I won but did not get a medal rank as my score was only 57. Second game was a 90. I need at least 100. Next time I suppose.

Played Moon Colony Bloodbath tonight, and I’ve got to say—it’s a lot of fun. Definitely frustrating at times, but in a good way! The constant tension of trying not to run out of people before reaching Event 13 keeps you on edge, but that challenge is engaging!

Received my @gamefound.bsky.social pledge for Nemesis Retaliation from Awaken Realms. I’ve been really enjoying my plays of the game. Very streamlined and a lot of fun. Looking forward to playing with friends.

Played (well tried to play 😂) Tacta today with my daughter and son. Daughter lost her shit and went away crying while my son said it was boring. I just can’t with these kids 😂. Anyways, I really enjoyed it and thought it was good.

Had a blast last night with a few friends at Ettin Games in Humble TX. We played Race for the Galaxy and Terraforming Mars w/Prelude. Then we finished out the night by playing Coup (not pictured).

Kingdomino digital for iOS and Android! I was fortunate enough to get access to the game for a review. So far it has been an excellent digital implementation of the board game and I’ve been enjoying it immensely! If you love Kingdomino, you should definitely get the digital version.

Played a solo game of Stephens a few weeks ago and forgot to post about it. In Stephens, players compete to become the most prestigious glass maker by helping to rebuild the town of Lisbon. This game was easy to learn but had quite a bit of depth and easy to manage AI.

Played Tea Garden solo the other day. Really enjoyed this deck building game. There are a lot of things to do in your 3-4 turns each round. The official solo PnP ran great and was easy to manage. If you’re a fan of SETI or Galileo Galilei, you definitely need this one!

Played R.A.V.E.L. from inPatience. R.A.V.E.L. is a solo game where you try to manipulate dice to unlock cards which give different benefits to help further unlock more cards. Unlock all the cards and you win the gang. Really enjoyed this one!

The one time I played Tokaido years ago, I really did not enjoy it. I just wanted heavier games at that time. Fast forward to now and I really loved my solo game of the @stonemaiergames.com edition. The gameplay was great and the AI was a breeze to operate. Can’t wait to play again!

Played a solo game of Great Western Trail El Paso from @lookoutgames.bsky.social and wow! Alexander Pfister does it again. I love how he was able to distill its big brother down into a smaller package without sacrificing gameplay.

Played a solo game of Patchwork 10th Anniversary edition. This game was a lot of fun yet challenging. The AI was a breeze to learn and operate with very little overhead. Unfortunately I lost, -15 to the AI 7. Can’t wait to playa again!

So I played two solo games of House of Fado this weekend. My initial game was full of errors and as a result, I wasn’t sure I liked it. However, after my second game where I got the rules right, I found that I really enjoyed this game. Glad I played again!
