Hey everyone! I've decided to get my YouTube channel up and running again. It's focused on gameplay and first look videos of simulation / building / crafting games that can be played on Steam, so if those kind of games appeal to you, feel free to check it out! π

I don't normally buy board games on Amazon because I'm a firm believer in supporting my local game store. But in this case I did have a gift card to use and the price on this one was too good to pass up. So this will be my one Amazon board game purchase for 2023.
I had a similar weekend! Took 16 games to our local store's used game sale and ended up selling 10! π
Tuesday night at the game store! Tonight we played another four-player game of Flamecraft. The game definitely has a different feel to it at four players as the scoring is a lot lower and it feels like thereβs less time to get things done. But itβs still a lot of fun! π
We really enjoyed this one too! π

Game 38 of the 10 x 10 challenge! Tonight we returned to Flamecraft for our second play on the board. This game was an absolute barnburner, with the fancy dragons proving to make the difference in a crazy 95-92 win for Team Blue! I can see this game getting a lot of plays for us! π
Lost Ruins of Arnak scorecard.
Saturday game night! We got together with a couple of our good friends tonight for some pizza and some Flamecraft and Lost Ruins of Arnak. I didnβt think about taking pictures of the games, but hereβs a screenshot of the scorecard from our Arnak game. π€£ Definitely a fun Saturday night!

Yeah, I think weβve officially reached fall now. π

Tuesday Game Night! Everyone at the game store was playing Lorcana tonight, and since we didnβt bring our starter decks with us, we just came home and played a couple of rounds at the house. π

The updated 10 x 10 board game challenge board. 37 games played, 63 remaining.
Game 37 of the 10 x 10 Challenge! After our initial play of Flamecraft on Friday night, we decided to add it to one of the remaining three game slots on the board. The fancy dragons proved to be pivotal for Team Red in this game en route to a 78-54 victory in the first play of the challenge. π
Here are the games that we played in the month of September! What was your most-played game of the month?
Hereβs to more gaming fun in October! π
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it when you get a chance to try it! π
It really is! And it's a pretty quick play (it took the two of us just over an hour) and also a pretty easy one to learn.

Friday game night! Tonight was our first play of Flamecraft from Lucky Duck Games. This game is a lot of fun! It's primarily a worker placement game with an element of hidden goals as well. If you're a fan of worker placement games or cute-looking dragons, you should definitely give this one a try!
Congrats on the release! π

Birthday gifts including an Illini running jacket, a dice tower, and three games: Flamecraft, Caper - Europe, and The Missing Expedition expansion for LosT Ruins of Arnak.
Another year older today. But I did get some really awesome birthday swag. π
I haven't played any of them before, so I'd probably ask to learn Railroad Ink first. I've always enjoyed a train game. π
I saw this one at Gen Con... it looked like a lot of fun!
Definitely looking forward to picking this one up! Cascadia is one of our favorites. π

Tuesday game night at the game store! Tonight we played a game of Wingspan from Stonemaier Games. I hadn't played Wingspan in about two years, so it was fun to be able to play it again after all this time. And who doesn't love a bird feeder dice tower. π
Definitely a fan of this game! Lots of fun in a short amount of time. π
I stopped playing Werewolf for this very reason. π
Happy Monday, everybody! Hope your weeks get off to a great start! π
For Sale and 6 Nimmt are both great! It's always good to have a few games that can handle a larger player count and also don't take too long to play or learn. π
Always have been a fan of this one! A great way to get people into worker-placement games, in my opinion. π
Jaipur is a good one for two players that is also pretty chill. π
Cubs won.
Diamondbacks lost.
Marlins lost.
Reds lost.
Hard to ask for much more than that. #GoCubs
A 10 x 10 challenge board for tracking board game plays.
A little more about me... my fiancee and I are big board game fans. This is a picture of our 10 x 10 challenge board where you try to play 10 different games 10 times each in a given time frame. For us, we're trying to complete the whole board by May 31, 2024. 36 games in and 64 to go!
Hey, it's my first post! Thanks to @louisvilledad.bsky.social for the invite! π
