Spooky game day! Finally cracked open Omens of the Deep for Elder Sign by @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social and oh man, we’re so doomed.

My kid has me on a @dicethrone.bsky.social kick. We’ve been playing all sorts of wacky combos… gotta love the crazy combos. Today it was Seraph v Miles Morales Spiderman.

As someone who has been in the board game industry for nearly 10 years professionally and many many more personally before that I am constantly *shocked* by how many times I come across games I’ve literally never heard of or seen before.

Getting back to using Bluesky again.
My kiddo has become co-op obsessed recently which meant I was finally able to dust off Mansions of Madness by @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social and everything’s going fine… totally fine… o_O

Had a fun time this weekend helping @labyrinthdc.bsky.social raise JUST shy of $16,000 for the teachers fund, helping DC area schools get games and aftercare programs for their kids!

I was just talking about all his F-ing games this weekend.

Here’s a quick top 5 of everything I liked about my first play of First Martians:l by Portal Games:
1) Production quality
2)
3)
4)
5)

Dusted off our copy of Dungeon of Fortune by the long lost Tasty Minstrel Games folks. A fun push your luck with maybe a tad too much random luck (especially in loot values).

Had crazy luck at a local thrift yesterday: sealed Parks, complete 10 Days in Europe, and the kiddos favorite find Klask! There were other gems I already own, let’s hope they get in loving collections

While we enjoyed our recent play of 3 Ring Circus by @devirgames.bsky.social our dog was less enthralled

Last night we finally played The Goonies, an earlier game by Matt Riddle and Ben Pinchback… it functioned but I wouldn’t call it fun. Glad to see the direction they’ve grown over time.

Knocking games off the to be played pile… next up El Caballero by Wolfgang Kramer and Richard Ulrich

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety.

It's our job.

Somehow forgot to post about playing Bears! By @firesidegames.bsky.social again recently. It’s silly quick fun, which is always welcome.

Gotta give it to them, @cryptozoic.bsky.social did a great job with the foils on DC Deck-Building Game: Dark Nights Metal

The much anticipated day is upon us. Kiddo and I are cracking in to Flash Point Legacy of Flame (by Indie Boards & Cards) today!

Playing a game from our shelf of opportunity, one of us loves it, one of us hates it…

We’ve been playing some games.

Invest in companies who make products for at-home chicken keeping.

After Valentines Day I *might* swing by with googly eyes, just saying...

Gotta love dusting off a good game you haven’t played in a bit. Kiddo and I have been playing Kariba by Helvetiq again. Always a good time.

Pick-Up by Gameflo was our first game of the day. I really enjoy the “classic” rules and wish they’d been printed in the mass market version. Solid basketball themed dice rolling card battler.

“Have you played our most popular, and essentially only title that would have you follow our account?” Why yes, lazy social post, I have…

I mean, I’m down.

Tiny Epic Galaxies: Blast Off - my kiddo found it in the game closet when visiting family and no one knows how it got there…

Happy my kid doesn’t do it but I’ve known kids who peek under the door too.

I want you to illustrate a game.

Currently working on editing rulebooks and I cannot tell you how weirdly stressful it is. Praise every mistake found, fear everyone that got by…

I have no experience with your bags but a lot of the ones being given out by others recently have handles to weak to support the products. Stupid garbage. While those big game bags people get are bulky, at least they last.
