Tom & All Five of the Cats Franklin

Let's see what @Justin has to say on December!

I'm Which I Proclaim My Respect and Admiration for Kanare Kato's Small Box Abstract, Meridians.

Yesterday I met the first person I didn't know who had read my book -- and liked it!

He pirated it, but Addy least he liked it and remembered it.

Meeple Mountain turns 10. I've been there for about the last half of that.

In Which I Review a So-So Game

YES!

Baby, It’s cold outside. Can you help restore the earth after 5000 years of destruction? Find out in our review of Revive from @AportaGames.

Watched Vengeance Most Fowl for our NYE movie. So, so good. I’ve missed Gromit’s expressions.

I didn’t find any aspects of Expeditions to be broken. We played it 3-4 times early this year and then again in November. It played just as well as I remembered it.

Let me know what you think about it. I’m curious to know!

Best New To Me Games of 2024: 1 of 5

Revive. A resource management, worker placement exploration deckbuilder of a game with turns featuring combo after combo. Good, strategic fun.

Spicy. It’s hard to explain how much I love this simple bluffing game. My weekly gaming group has had more laughs with Spicy than any other game.

Altiplano. Rondel-ish resources collection game that I was surprisingly good at.

Concordia. Very late to the game on this one, but very happy it hit the table as often as it did. (Great Steam implementation, too)

Expeditions. The semi-sequel to Scythe, Expeditions moves you into the area north of the Scythe board to explore the land and resolve Corruption.

The greatest rock concert full performance was held on Thanksgiving night, 1976. Hats off to The Band for their brilliant Last Waltz.

Yes.

I suspect Ure right.

Meridians by Kanare Kato

Looking for a gift for a fan of abstract board games? Meridians combines line-of-sight with elements of Go to create an accessible game with deep strategies. Can’t say enough good things about Kato’s masterpiece of a game.

Don’t forget about the seemingly endless rounds of editing and rewriting.

Yes you do.
