Another great game of Star Trek Ascendancy last night. My Federation kicked off to an early lead and then got stomped so hard. Eventually the Klingons won because they held onto more systems than I did (plus, the Dominion refused to break a treaty they had). Such a fun game!
Been working on this tricky tile laying game about building an arcade circa late 80s/early 90s. The market has unique abilities when you take a tile but those abilities change as each round goes by
Been playing Star Trek Ascendancy a bit lately. Fantastic game that despite the size it takes coz is still a knife fight. Can't wait to track down a few more expansions if I can find them or wait for the reprint next year
Played that a few times. It's spectacular!! Actually sold my Cthulhu Wars game because of Wroth
You'd think a 3 year old did this, but nope, that's all me! Mental health break at work today with fun dollar store paints and canvases.
I haven't smiled this much in a long time!!
If anyone is interested, my coworker is raising money for mental health by doing 2000 push-ups in 18 days. She's an inspiration to me. Donate if you can!

This entire album is amazing. It's been on Christmas Playlist since it was released. Drove my staff crazy year after year.
The rest of the rulebook isn't bad in all honesty. Those first couple pages though are like the graphic designer just said "eff it" and gave up.
This has to be the worst component guide I've seen in a rulebook ever. It looks like an old Toys r Us catalogue!!
However, the gameplay looks great and I can't wait to try this out soon!
It might not be much, but we finally got our first snowfall of the year here in #Kelowna. I don't remember such a late start to winter.
Here's my November plays. Looking forward to what December brings!

Wow. I picked this up from my FLGS on Friday and played a few games using this expansion. Honestly, I only bought it for the 5th player but this new game mode is amazing! Congrats @restorationgames.bsky.social on another knockout!!
(now to try to track down some of the other expansions one day)
Yeah, other than some semi-co-op games, I've always hated them. But this one is great. I don't think I've ever been invested any another co-op game ever.
I think I finally found a true co-op game that I like!
Played The Gang last night by John Cooper & Kory Heath and it was a blast. A few times we got stuck with players confused with having high cards just one apart but we eventually worked together and won.
Very cool game!!
You know what? Tokyo Highway is pretty darn fun!! We messed up a few rules but I had a blast regardless. Amazingly, this is the only dexterity based game I own!
Started designing & playtesting again after toonmuch time away
Tentatively called Let's All Go To The Arcade, which is a tile laying game about building a video arcade in the early 90s
First test went well & now it's time to revamp a few things. I'm energized again and working on making a trilogy.
Has anyone here that I interact with played Faiyum by Friedmann Friese before? Really thinking of picking up a copy but curious if anyone has thoughts they want to share about it.
I downloaded the Dominion app on my phone and had totally forgotten how great this game is
Went out and bought a couple sets and played last night. We had a total blast! The OG is still phenomenal folks!

Getting ready to venture into the unknown this week. Looking forward to the adventure ahead of us!!
Today was a good shopping day. I sold about half my Cthulhu Wars collection so was able to pick up a few things to refill the shelves
Got a good deal on Return to Dark Tower so I decided to take the plunge.
First solo run through of Let's Go To The Mall complete and it went smoothly.
It's an 80s inspired tableau builder with some tongue in cheek names for stores.
Have to make the customers more important & increase Food Court scoring for next time.
But it worked!

Evil-Lyn and Trap Jaw cornered He-Man

Beast Man summons a Shadow Beast
With Halloween around the corner, we played a thematic scenario for CMON's Clash for Eternia that someone made.
The Evil Horde was trying to find the Pumpkin of Calamity & drain its power for their evil plan.
Unfortunately, He-Man, Orko & Mekanek were unable to stop them so now Eternia is doomed!
I have always respected the way Scott Laughton plays but after reading this, I cannot overstate how much I love & respect him as a person now.
In a world where NHL players tow the league line it's great to have someone stand up for the LGBT community.

First pumpkin beer of the year - this one from the incredible Phillips Brewery from Victoria, BC. The smell is wonderful and first sips are very flavourful.
Also, I totally LOVE the "Boos Inside" label on the side of the can!!
Who wants to join my Orchestra?
Been working on a new trick taking game bases on playing in a symphony and it's been getting a lot better every play. Currently in version 4 of the rules and I'm hoping I didn't break it in the process. We'll see next week week, I suppose.
Won solo play of Wild Tiled West this morning with a winning score of 119. This is such a lovely game with a nice puzzle to it. Really looking forward to more plays soon.

I've only played it twice but quite enjoyed both plays. It's an older Euro that does what it needs to!
It do thematic especially with the expansion.
I mean in our last game, Han toured the galaxy upgrading starships until he got the Falcon. Shot down Hutt and Imperial patrols. Then found his buddy Lando and they retired to tour the galaxy together!!
Ooooh, Hansa Tuetonica is a classic. Great game!
