Ooooh, thats not bad! Assuming all the approvals go through, and everything is green lit, 3 years is nothing!

The student has become the master! 🎓

Tried getting my nephew Ethan into #OnePieceTCG back in December and it immediately backfired—he absolutely crushed me. 😂

Seeing the next generation of gamers take the W is the best kind of loss. 🏴‍☠️

#OnePiece #OPTCG #CardGames

Flashback to Dec when I first introduced the family to Riftbound! 🃏✨

I took the win, but the real victory was seeing my brother and nephew fall for the game. They’ve been playing it non-stop ever since! ⚔️📈

It’s officially a family cardgame night staple now.

#CardGames #Riftbound

Hah, yeah, fair!

Totally fair. I heard it ran into some snags in approvals already too- so likely going to take quite a while.

So soon meaning, maybe in the next decade? Sphere took like 5 years to build, right?

Still not over how incredible the outside of the Sphere is! 🤯✨

My wife and I spent so much time just watching the Exosphere—the tech is absolutely next-level. 🏙️📡 Word is we might be getting one in DC soon? I hope so!

#TheSphere #Vegas #Tech #LasVegas #Exosphere

There’s no place like… The Sphere! 👠🌈

Caught the Wizard of Oz show in Vegas and it was a total game-changer. The 4D effects were wild—we even caught a foam apple! 🍎 (Passed it on to a happy kid nearby).

If you're in Vegas, this is a must-see. 🦁🤖🧺

Prerelease night! #mtg #magicthegathering #fnm

More Vegas highlights! 🎰✨ Nothing beats the chaos and character of the Fremont Street Experience.

Every trip under that canopy is unique—definitely the place for people-watching and "Old Vegas" energy. 🌆🤘

#Vegas #FremontStreet #Travel #LasVegas

They have done such a good job with this game.

Tried out the old Austin Powers CCG! It was rad, baby! 🕺✨

Played 4-player for maximum chaos. I couldn’t draw enough agents to really compete, and Matt ended up taking the W. 🏆

The gameplay is okay, but the nostalgia factor is 10/10. Definitely worth it for the chuckles.

A picture of panda bears made of flowers.

Proof that I occasionally do things other than gaming! 😂

Spotted this incredible Chinese New Year display at the Bellagio Conservatory during my Vegas trip in February. The floral pandas were absolutely gorgeous! 🐼🌸

Such a cool stop- really should get out there more.

#LasVegas

Yeah, the battle never ends, I imagine. Ah well :)

Flashback to this 4-player Riftbound session in Feb! 🃏✨

We were breaking in the new starter decks and finally feeling the rules click. George took the W and has been obsessed with the game ever since! 😂

We’re all leveling up, one battlefield at a time. 📈⚔️

Time to face the final boss of my hobby: The Room. 🐉🧹

Since having a kid, my gaming space has devolved into a storage zone. My #1 goal for 2026 is to reclaim this territory! 🛠️✨

Expect progress updates (and probably more "lost" treasures) as I go.

#HobbySpace #BoardGames #GamingRoom

100%. The game is as good as it has ever been- lots of playstyles, support for an Eternal format for those who want it- its a great time to get in!

I love bringing new people into the hobby! ❤️

Here’s a Netrunner demo from Feb. I spend much of my time teaching card games—nothing beats that "aha!" moment! 🖱️🧠

Want to learn a new game? Come see me at Bazooka Games in Westminster on Thursdays!

#CardGames #Netrunner #LGS

Wrapped up our second Burning Banners campaign in December.

As the Invaders, I pushed Rob back everywhere until he conceded... but I honestly think I could have salvaged this situation playing the other side.

Next time, I’m switching sides to see if I can hold the line.

Found this gem from our Babylon 5 #CCG teaching game in Dec!

I was running a Minbari Vorlon bleeder deck and was this close to a win before the clock ran out. ⏳ Lesson learned: interaction is key! Swapped to a war deck for the next session.

Back to the table in May?

#CardGames

More Easter gaming! 🐣 We broke out Wavelength for a "Boys vs. Girls" showdown: the affianced/married-in guys vs. the blood-related girls.

The boys crushed it 10-4! 🏆 We were laughing so hard we almost forgot to keep score. Such a top-tier party game.

Special birthday art for my wife from our favorite 4yo artist! 🎨🎂

She drew two of her favorite things—can you recognize them?

Honestly, she’s already more talented than me! 😂

#Parenting #KidsArt #Family

NYC really wanted to make sure I got the message this Easter. 🛑🛑

Is one "Do Not Enter" sign not enough? Do I need the digital backup just in case? 😂

#NYC #Travel #OnlyInNewYork

Finally notched my first win with the Briggs deck in #UnionArena! 🛡️

My nephew bricked early, but it was still a struggle to close out the endgame. The deck has great bones, but it’s definitely missing some high-end power.

A win is a win, though! Time to move onto the next deck.

#CardGames

Easter gaming with the in-laws! 🐣🐉 Helped teach Tsuro over the weekend.

Played twice, won zero—but had an absolute blast. It’s the perfect low-key game for a peaceful holiday. 🥂

#Tsuro #BoardGames #TabletopGaming #Easter2026

The big sleeve order is officially IN! 📦

Soon, I can get back to the best parts of the hobby: cracking packs and brewing new decks. 🧪✨ Now we play the waiting game at the mailbox…

#TCGs #CardGames

Fresh arrival from Against the Odds Magazine! 📦⚔️

Issue #63 features Trying Men's Souls, a wargame on the 1776 New York campaign. Perfect timing for the 250th Anniversary year! 🇺🇸

Excited to dive into the history and get these counters on the map.

#Wargames #BoardGames #AmericanRevolution

More #MTG Commander with the family! 🃏✨

Won the first game, and while I lost the second, I made sure to take my brother out first. Priorities, right? 😂

Been running the same 3 decks for months—officially time to hit the lab and brew something new! 🧪🔨

#MagicTheGathering #CardGames

Gaming with my 4yo is a dream... but our "house rules" for Magic Mountain are wild! 🏔️✨

If a marble misses, it’s an immediate "oopsie" reroll. 🔮 We’re working on sportsmanship—and the fact that witches moving is okay—but the process is half the fun.

Wouldn't trade this for anything. ❤️

#BoardGames

That's awesome!

Man, the game looks to be in a good spot now, but i worry taking stock of my status will take too long :(
