and now the weekend is over :( maybe humans should always live with good friends and sweet animals and at least one boardgame collector

it's cute!

My final ranking of the games, from most fav to least fav:

seti
the old kings crown
railroad ink
moon colony bloodbath
cosmic encounter
wilmots warehouse
masque of the red death
magical athlete
wavelength
nemesis
take5
molly house

and the very final game of the weekend: co-op Nemesis

Take Five

what's the strategy???

Cosmic Encounter

Seti

maybe my favourite longer game so far, or tied with The Old King's Crown

Magical Athlete

super fun!

Masque of the Red Death

👌🏻

Molly House

didn't really work well + didn't like it much

party game Wavelength

a long time favourite: Railroad Ink

(crushed it)

Moon Colony Bloodbath

love this game!
