Gen-Xer into Boardgames & friends and anything related to that realm. Beer, mead, music, food, movies, art, cats and dog’s living together & mass hysteria. Ain’t bothering nobody.

I'm having a lot of fun playing Hercules and the 12 Labors. However, every time I see the word "Eurystheus" my mind switches it to "Eurythmics". So yes, for me, Hercules is completing these labors for a British New Wave band from the 80s.

Day 4 in the Northern Lower Peninsula and the family totally ignores the stack of games in the cabin. They'd rather touch grass and go watch roaming Elk. How can I trade them in? Clarification: Trade in my family, NOT the games. 😂

Hey all, look at this cool baby snuggle-cow my talented wife made! She also makes soaps, beard oil, body butters, lip balms and sews, knits, and can crochet. By contrast: I play board games and I made a tuna sandwich today.

One game that has always eluded a purchase from me is Scythe. I played it a couple of years ago, for the first time, and it has stayed on my mind ever since. Does it hold up nowadays? I will mainly play it solo. I need to scratch this itch 😩

Somewhere, someone is prepping for an epic Thanksgiving board game evening. If that's YOU, cheers to you, and also let me hear what you're playing. I'm out having a beverage before last-minute Turkey Day shopping. This barrel aged coconut stout is 🔥

I've not taught myself the VIneyards expansion yet. If you've played it, please let me know how it is and any good strategy tips!

It had been too long since Castles of Burgundy #boardgame had been on the table. The solo mode in the special edition is very well implemented. 210-179 to me, helped by 2 goods bonus scoring monasteries. I think I’ll be ready to try the vineyards expansion after another game or two 🙂

Finally got around to playing Andromeda's Edge yesterday! My Dwellings experience helped me with understanding the mechanisms, however I had a heck of time trying to stick to a strategy and was shackled all game due to pivoting and dumb decisions. Can't to play again! Deep decision space on this one
