Semi Co-op

Playte has that High Society edition with the same art as the Osprey edition, so we can hope 🤞

Ooh that's a very cool idea!

BG Stats 3 x 3. Eldritch Horror; Eldfall Chronicles; Middara: Unintentional Malum – Act 1; Sardegna; Orapa Space; Linko.

Sardegna was the biggest surprise this week, it's a small box containing an engaging game that feels big.

It was anice to revisit Eldritch Horror (twice) after all these years. 🙂

Lastly, Middara has been great so far but its art style and (complex) rules prevent us from recommending it to people.

#TooReal?

Ouch!

Two panels. Above the left, it says: "Games I brought to game night". We see Heinze carrying a very big and heavy backpack holding at least 15 games (it shows the outlines of the boxes through the bag). Above the right panel it says: "Games we played at game night". We see the same image of Heinze carrying the back pack with only one small game highlighted in the entire backpack.

New comic! Bringing loads of games to game night and only ending up playing one or two small ones... Who else does this? 😂

So far this has been a very fun read and it's still early enough in October to join in!

Easy choice. A Daf 55, a Dutch car with a Variomatic gearbox that made them as quick forward as in reverse.

Because of that we had reverse races with Dafs that make Joyride look like a racing simulator. 🤣

The Playte edition of Sardenga

A game of Sardegna in progress. A colorful map filled with wooden ships, pawns, houses and towers.

Tried Sardegna tonight and really enjoyed it! With the small L board version it's quite a 'big'-feeling euro in a small package.

Really enjoyed how the game has a 2nd phase in which all the resources have been farmed and the villagers turn from farmers into pawns that you use to gain influence.

300 SUNDAY SHOWS! We’re celebrating with a fast, fun trip down memory lane, favorite moments, and big thanks to YOU. Watch the milestone episode on our YouTube channel this Sunday: www.youtube.com/@OurFamilyPl...

It's a stripped down version in just 18 cards. It only retains the shoals and your 'strength' increases by catching low level fish. Most fish have a neat one time ability which makes the game a little more dynamic and strategic.

We think the game is best with three although it's still fun with two.

BG Stats 5 x 5. Play count: 5: Tic Tac Trek; 4: Death Valley; 3: Landmarks; 2: Middara: Unintentional Malum – Act 1; 2: Biblios; 2: Confusing Lands; 2: Linko; 2: Tsuro; 2: Stef Stuntpiloot; 1: Destinies; 1: Agricola; 1: Dominate & Delegate; 1: Space Base; 1: Adrenaline; 1: Skyjo; 1: Take Time; 1: Orapa Mine; 1: Digit Code; 1: Orapa Space; 1: Pokémon Trading Card Game; 1: Schwimmen; 1: Dice Pool Party; 1: Moving Wild; 1: Shallow Regrets.

September was a surprisingly filled month, 39 plays and 24 different games!

We played loads of small games while hiking in the Alps and Playte was kind enough to send a bunch of their games!

Highlights: Adrenaline, Orapa Mine/Space, Tic Tac Trek.

AMA if any of these catch your interest! #bgstats

The golden rule: do unto others as you’d have them do unto you, but if the rule on a card conflicts with this rule, follow the rules on the card

BG Stats 3 x 3. Play count: 2: Linko; 2: Stef Stuntpiloot; 1: Agricola; 1: Adrenaline; 1: Take Time; 1: Orapa Mine; 1: Digit Code; 1: Orapa Space; 1: Pokémon Trading Card Game.

My nephew finally beat me at Pokemon At our yearly game. (I should have realised when we he asked which playmat I wanted, he stepped up his game.)

We finally played Adrenaline and enjoyed it a lot. Take Time has the potential to be a hit.

Playte also send us some games and we enjoyed those too.

An elderly woman presses a drinking glass to a wall to eavesdrop. Off-panel voices shout game-complaints about food (“Crisis! … There’s not enough food … I refuse to be a beggar!”); she responds “Oh.” Caption: “After having played Agricola last night.” Next panel, she carefully offers to get some bread from the market for her neighbour Rachel, who looks surprised and a bit shocked.

New comic! 👀 Watch out... the walls (might) have ears! 👂 Did you ever have to take a beggar card in Agricola?

Honestly, we should get further into BattleCON: Devastation of Indines that just it's first six fighters before looking at getting other L99 Games...

We have played Millenium Blades at someone else's house tough and that game is simply glorious.

Nice! This one is definitely on our list as well. 🤩

It's really clever! Do you enjoy it most playing it head to head or with multiple people?

We tried Orapa Space with a bigger group but left the black hole out and were surprised it the deduction part was easier than Orapa Mine.

Weekly recap! 📼 We got sent a number of games by Playte and we already enjoyed several of them! We also went to the local Order of the Dice meetup so we played so many games this video has no room for slice of life b-roll. 😁

The box of Take Time

A game of Take Time in progress

Fancy cardbacks with metallic art

We went to a board game meet up and played the upcoming game Take Time.

It's a co-op game in which you need to play 12 cards around a clock (that consists of six parts) and the sum of the (mostly faced down) placed cards should ascend.

It's kind of Skyteam meets the Mind and it's a lot of fun!👍

The way you wrote it I fully expected you to say something about what happened to my plumps in the icebox.

But we wish you a speedy recovery!

We still believe! 😁
