Another 3p game of Concordia. Played the Aegyptus map, very interesting! Got a well-deserved 2nd place and first game where we didn’t mess up any rule yay! #boardgames

Got the Sicilia/Roma map pack for Concordia. As I live in Sicily, it’s so fun to see all the latin names of the places around here! Roma looks quite interesting as no naval routes are in the map (for quite obvious reasons), and I love how the designer found a brilliant way to use ships! #boardgames

Played a 3p game of Concordia with Salsa expansion (Hispania map and forum tiles).
Won again even if we fumbled on some rules… will definitely play more with Salsa!

Today I made a long-time dream of mine come true. Got a Fender Stratocaster Vintera II. I feel guilty but happy, like when I take home a new boardgame 😂😂😂

Finished my first run at Slay The Spire The #BoardGame.
My built was all about Demonic Form + Heavy Strike.
I dealt 28 damage points in one single swing!
Love this game so much.
Also unlocked my favorite power for my curse/status damage build with Fire Breathing ❤️

Played a 4p game of Concordia. We had a blast.
Got a decent and close 2nd place. I am very satisfied.
Quick teach, longer game due to some AP. #boardgames

Completed Act II in about one hour. A close call, as I defeated the Collector at 2 hp.
I had a blast, and the strength build with demonic form is huge!

Played my first game of Salton Sea against the bot. Won by 10 points. I love this crunchy optimization puzzle!
A lovely and relaxing game of Beacon Patrol too :)

Played Grand Austria Hotel again with my kid. This time we added the Walt module (she didn’t like it too much) and the Famous Guests (she loved it as she found her heroes like Marie Curie and Albert Einstein). My daughter won again, this time 117 to 116. I don’t even… 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #boardgames

Scheduling a Nemesis #boardgame night. We'll play the base box because there is a new member in the group. But I am already teasing the Aftermath expansion for a later game! I am so psyched out for Nemesis, I can't wait to play again with my good old buddies!

After work, my daughter chose Wingspan to play against me. What a lovely #boardgame! We had a lot of fun, although my kid needed to check the rules again to remember the game flow and this led to a sub-optimal play. However she’s motivated to play again in full swing!
