My brothers apartment had a lounge area with some common games to share. Got to play Flip 7, Hues and Cues, and No Thanks. No Thanks was the best game, by far! #boardgames

Been in Saskatoon for half the month, which has severely limited my game plays. But I got to play Magic again, so that was nice! #boardgames
Just finished reading Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice. A post-apocalypse story set on a reserve in Northern Ontario. The focus isn't on the apocalyptic event, but on the community as they survive the winter. 4.5/5🌟 💙 📚
Moon of the Crusted Snow (Moon, #1)
With winter looming, a small northern Anishinaabe commu…

Finished Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. The premise had such promise, but the cast of completely unlikeable characters and refusal to offer any real commentary on its themes made it ultimately fall really flat for me.
Nothing like catching up with childhood friends and learning how to play Commander
Taught my father in law Mountain Goats last night, and he loved it. Asked to play again 3 times in a row! #boardgames
I don't think Crib Wars will replace regular crib for me, but it does offer an interesting change of pace. It forces you to consider holding back on points during certain rounds so you don't get caught in the time traps #boardgames
Started Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. I can't help but pine for the multiplayer experience. Playing solo evokes such strong feelings of melancholy and loneliness.
Played Gaia project last night with the Lost Fleet expansion. Just like Terra Mystica before it, I just do not grok this game. At least I didn't come in last! Final scores were 182, 181, 110, and 101 #boardgames
I don't back many crowdfunding campaigns anymore, but I can never resist more Bullet heroines. Bullet Galaxy by @level99games.com gamefound.com/en/projects/... #boardgames
I can't travel up island without stopping for cinnamon buns!
I was supposed to learn and teach Praga Caput Regni last night, but I've developed a little ear infection and can't be bothered to learn a lot of rules atm. So we played Everdell instead. It's pretty good! I'd def play it again, probably as the next step up from Wingspan. #boardgames
I'm taking a bit of a break from the mainline Final Fantasy titles. There's a couple interesting spin-offs that I want to explore. Starting with Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance I played the crap out of this when it came out in 2003. I'm pretty excited to play it again
As long as people keep buying, companies will keep doing shitty things. 🤦
The Correspondent, by Virginia Evans. I feel emotionally wrung. I have the strongest desire to pull my sleeping children out of their beds and hug them and never let them go. 💙📚
"anything that can be written is here. The history of your big toe as viewed by the perspective of your Shoe." It's a fun thought experiment to conceive every possible book. 💙📚
Went up to Chemainus to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I didn't realize it was a musical. It was FANTASTIC! Local live theatre is such a delight.
I don't understand why Final Fantasy XII is $20, while FFXIII is only $7.19 🤷♂️
Do people see yellow striped lines in a parking lot and think "oh sweet, a spot reserved just for me!"?
Tales of Eternia is probably the best I could have hoped for outside of a new Tales game. My only experience with Eternia is fighting Garr, Farah, and Meredy as secret bosses in Tales of Symphonia! 🎮
Bonus game day! Friend who moved to Ottawa is visiting and he broughty World Order! Boy it's a dense game #boardgames
New acronym aside, @nopunincluded.com is dropping some brilliant writing in this video. "a bouche of amuse to amuse your bouche" "a little taste of this level, a pull of that lever and suddenly you're lever-ace" 10/10
New Video! We are coining a new genre, replacing a problematic popular game and gorging on a 126 gobsmacking fauxkemon.
