With just a few hours left to go, it’s cool to see that Rebels Against Rebellion has reached #5 on the BGG hotness. Really awesome for such a niche topic. @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @kwanchai.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...
Been enjoying Wingspan Pocket. There’s a great balance of strategic depth without being overly complex. The amount of card abilities aren’t overwhelming, which makes it easy to get into and very quickly start recognizing strong combos for your tableau. It’s a really smart design and fun.
Hopefully getting my newly arrived copy of Glory to Rome to the table later today. Has been a bit of a grail game. @thesecretcabal.bsky.social have raved about it over the years. Now I get to play it for myself. Read the rules, watched videos. This game is so in my wheelhouse.
Without a doubt, one of the absolute best things on YouTube is this channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGt7...
