I’ve been playing Evenfall solo recently and wow! What an amazing and underrated game. The solo mode is fantastic. Can’t wait to try this multiplayer.

Yeah don’t try to use it on a glass table that’s for sure lol. It just suctions straight through the card to the table.

Played a solo game of β€œA 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.

Next up is Evacuation from Rio Grande Games designed by Vladimir Suchy. Excited to get this one played. Be on the lookout for my thoughts about this one!

Lost Ruins of Arnak: Adventure Chest has landed πŸ›¬! So happy to have this in my collection. The organization is superb and appears to make setup a breeze.

How is it solo? I’ve heard good things about it.

Rio Grande Games was gracious enough to send me a care package of games to do solo reviews on. I’m very excited to get these played. Keep an eye out for upcoming reviews of each one these games.

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!

Tacta Card Game Review

This game has great flexibility. Turn based games, free for all mode, different modes for different table spaces, team games, can play anywhere from 2-18 players, and the table presence is really cool. @theop.games #Tacta #HowLouSeesIt

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!

The fact that it can be played solo excites me! Thanks for thinking of us solo players!

The fascism is here and there isn’t a system or politician in place that can stop it.

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.

Below, is an extremely offensive image from the game Ace of Spades published by Devir Games. The cavalier use of a slavery theme about a game that could LITERALLY BE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE and the offensive images to push this theme is abhorrent. You all should know better. 1/3

I'm listening to Mandi, OFPG, Kenna (Coyote & Crow) and others on this one. But I will chime in to say - two of my favorite publishers are from Spain. They produce games centered thematically around cultures not their own. And they manage to not use racist caricatures that were outdated 25 years ago

We were recently made aware of disturbing and offensive artwork in the new game Ace of Spades by Devir. We have contacted Devir regarding this matter.

Fellow hobbyists: we must strive to be better humans. We can’t simply β€œlook the other way” when an issue doesn’t affect us directly.

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 Spectacular yesterday. Every time I play, I’m reminded of how much I love and enjoy this game.

I’ve heard they are very dissimilar. For solo play I’ve saw a reviewer say that Lockdown is best but I really enjoyed this one.

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 sayβ€”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!

The nemesis bag building and combat is just a lot better. I thoroughly enjoyed this one

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 πŸ˜‚) 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 πŸ˜‚. Anyways, I really enjoyed it and thought it was good.
