A photo of the board game box for General Orders: Sengoku Jidai laid on its side behind a sample display of two illustrated cards from the game reading "GROUND ASSULT" and "RIVER ASSAULT", and a selection of custom red meeples depicting siege engines and ships. Behind, the background is the game's hex map board.

My vintage video game set up featuring a Nintendo and a sega.

Played some vintage video games with the kids. I don’t know why but they always want to play Skitchin on the sega.

We kicked off the start of a Call of Cthulhu adventure tonight! The adventure was led and created by our fantastic Keeper, Jamie from @thesecretcabal.bsky.social who packed in 2 hours of hair-raising fun. I don’t play RPGs often, but this reminded me why I want to do more. @chaosium.bsky.social

My wife and I have several continuous games on BGA and that’s one of our favorites. It’s replaced The NY Times crossword.

I did like the last scenario a lot, but my favorite I think is always the 4th scenario. The middle scenarios 4-8 are all really fun.

Combat Commander Europe

Combat Commander Europe

My friend and I finished all 12 scenarios in Combat Commander: Europe. It took a little over a year and half. We did it asynchronously via video messaging. We both had the game set up and would keep both boards updated. Now we have moved on to the battle packs.

Trying out Enemy Action: Ardennes. I really like Kharkov, so I have high hopes. The enemy action series has to be one of the deepest (and heaviest) solo systems. It’s truly a marvel.

I can’t imagine either. It definitely creates an ominous echo in the Ozark landscape.

Played Inis with the kids. It was fun as always, but the expansion makes the game go brutally quick even with 5 players.

I’ve never played the previous version but I have no complaints about this version. I do have the plastic trays that hold the power tiles. I’ve heard that’s a game changer.

Hey all, I've started a petition over on Change. I'm asking that some profits from the next Avatar film go toward supporting Indigenous Futurist artists and projects. I hope you'll take a moment to sign and to share. chng.it/JdXwNNDTCF Wado/Thanks! #IndigenousFuturism #NativeSky

Played Norman Conquests with my son. He’s getting into tactical miniature games, so this wasn’t a hard sell. He ended up really loving it. Wants to play the rest of the battles.
