It’s not available in English - there’s a Korean version and a Chinese version and I just got the Chinese version when I was in Taiwan on vacation.
Got Five! set up on the table. A player screen with a dry erase board showing the numbers 1-60 split throughout 5 different colored tiles. Some are crossed out and there’s a player board with one tile of each color in front of each player, numbers facing away from them. Also a bunch of face down tiles in the middle.
I also played Got Five! (review copy received) It’s a simple deduction game where you guess your number tiles. I got lucky with all high numbers in my hand so the deduction was quick for me but I’d like to try again.
Pokémon Splendor set up on the table. Lines of cards with different Pokémon with different colors/types of pokeballs as poker chips on the side.
Tonight I got to play Pokémon Splendor for the first time! I like the switch from nobles to evolutions. Makes it more competitive with fighting for the same evolutions and the possibility that people can just capture them without having the lower level.

I talk about some gaming highlights from March in my March recap video! Featuring Take Time, Numbsters, Escape: Curse of the Temple, and Until Proven Guilty: Thirst for Justice.

I think I went to Sunny Board Games last time with my kids!
I don’t think I’m gonna do a dedicated vlog this year since it’s not as interesting of a story just going to a store day 1 instead of trying to go to stores for two weeks and finally getting to one 😆
For reference, this vlog shows my adventures last time in attempting to visit board game stores. I don’t think I’ll do a similar vlog this time!

Me in the hallway at Board Game Hut (a game store in Taipei). I’m in front of the game store sign and I’m holding a copy of Pokémon Splendor (Chinese version) and Touch it! (Japan themed)
First day in Taiwan and I’ve already made it to a board game store while it was open! A lot more successful than the last time I was here!
Started Clank Legacy 2 today! Heading into game 2 and already impressed by the changes/additions @direwolfdigital.bsky.social made!
(Also check out the amazing lamp @ambierona.bsky.social made for me in the back there!)
Today’s episode is a recap of Dice Tower West and Las Vegas! Crystal was sick and couldn’t attend (or record), so this episode is just Ambie (and her kids for part of it).

I made a (hopefully funny) short about analysis paralysis! I came up with this idea after recording our podcast episode 254 and hearing Crystal's blurb in the intro for "less time than it takes to..."
Not our usual video content, but it was fun to make!

Cozy Stickerville board with a bunch of stickers on it (a completed campaign) and a pile of wooden resource tokens by it.
Second playthrough of Cozy Stickerville completed! Here’s our town, Awesomeville!

Haha thanks! I’ve been rotating out their art every month to keep a record of some of it since they make so much and we can’t keep it 😆
My January highlights video is up! I played a lot of escape room board games with my kids (this will be a continuing theme), CoraQuest, Jisogi, and Lotr The Two Towers Trick Taking game!

This might also be part of why I’m blue, cause when I grew up my brother liked red or green so I ended up with blue 😆
In today’s episode we talk about Jisogi: Anime Studio Tycoon from @esperbgs.bsky.social and Applejack from @odedot.bsky.social, and then talk about our favorite player colors to play!

I’ll be talking about Jisogi from @esperbgs.bsky.social on Thursday’s podcast since we just played it twice - once with the old rules and once with the new! So I was super excited this morning when I saw that they just launched a new KS that has an upgrade pack!
