I had the opportunity to interview @xopherchan.bsky.social about some upcoming projects!

BUT I have many friends and relatives named Chris and I know I rudely shortened Christopher’s name. My apologies!

Very good. Using dice as upgradeable workers, with spots that lower their value and resources that bump it back up is a good mechanism!

A Japanese import called Snow Planner. There’s a less fancy version at Board Game Bliss.

If you’ve never played Burgle Bros, you should give it a try. The newest edition just delivered on Kickstarter.

Our group agreed that #Saltfjord is one of the best #boardgames of the year - it released in Europe last fall but only hit NA shelves this summer. So good!

I’m excited about the new releases from Karma Games - they made Clans of Caledonia, one of (if not the) best economic games ever. I posted a quick video about the new releases on the YouTube channel. Check out the organizer for Thiefdom!

WOW! Brains On Games is 5 years old today. Which means I’ve learned a new game almost every week for half a decade.

Tonight’s review looks at Power Plants, from KTBG. Visit the channel to get notified when it goes live, or check the link in the comments.

After playing it at #Breakout with @xopherchan.bsky.social , my copy of #StalkExchange has arrived. I pulled out an old dice bag to make the greenhouse bag a little bigger.

How are you liking it?

It’s a different beast with more players BTW.

I WAS expecting this postal order. Two big boxes of #MontyPython paraphernalia. I played the #cocurricularmediaevalreenactmentprogramme at #Breakout and now I have the complete set. Which will not fit on my Python bookshelf. 😳

Maybe only in terms of the nature theme, great artwork, and activating abilities in order?
