Sounds like Shadows of Brimstone! Which is not a bad thing. Invader sounds intriguing, and definitely my genre, at the moment.

Never actually played Zombicide - closest we've got (thematically, at least) is Dead of Winter. It's a long-time favourite in our house, although I am getting a little tired of it at this point. I do like the look of it, but have no idea of the best jumping on point.

I will report back, but I have high hopes.

Not yet. All I've really managed to do is put it in the Kallax. I'm hoping to get it to the table on Friday night.

Got a copy of the #SkyTeam #boardgame as a moving present. Not played it yet, but logistically it was a good choice as a moving gift.

Small enough to easily pack, two player because we don't really have any local friends yet, and co-op because it turns out moving really is quite a stressful time.

Yeah, we already have a few BGA games going. And a couple on 18xx.games.

First thing I did was find a local group.

It's a sad day today. I joined my local #boardgame group about 2 years ago but, as we're moving out of the area on Friday, tonight will be my last game night.

Made some good friends, played some amazing games, and really developed a love for the hobby. 😢

Yep, really enjoyed it. And I won!

600 games is a lot of games.

Playing my first game tonight. Looking forward to it, it looks ace.

I know I should have by now, but I've never played it. I need to rectify that.

I prefer to concentrate on our exporting of "unspecified conmodities". I assume that's not what they're sold as.

Why would they do that???

I love brass and barrage, so that sounds amazing.

I keep seeing it everywhere but haven't played it yet. I'm hoping somebody brings it to board gaming group on a Wednesday night!

I know, but that isn't the first place my brain goes when I hear it. I'm still going to watch it, planned for Friday night, along with Red One.

Sherlock - no doubt.

He did it with a deerstalker, a pipe, and an opium habit. No high-tech nonsense.

It does look good, but I cannot get over the name.

I presume it's a Brit thing, but it makes me thing of bawdy Carry On films. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but definitely NOT what this movie is about.

I really liked #Scythe, probably one of my favourite games. Then I had the misfortune to play the campaign through, and it has left me never wanting to lay eyes on it again. Either way, 7 player is braaaave!

I'm awful at it, but I do enjoy it. I think.

I love when you get a little engine going, it is so satisfying.

That's the animal. I'm enjoying it. Feels quite different to the others I've played.

That's what it looks like if you add every expansion.

Co-ops cause some sulking at our table.

Yeah. If 18xxsky doesn't work, I'd avoid #18xxxsky. That's a very different crowd.

We have 2 people that are a lot more experienced than the rest of us. They just seem to own every play. I do enjoy them, though. Playing Vienna atm, can't remember the number!

I'm a couple episodes into the second season. Not got into it the same as I did the first season (which I loved), but there's time yet.

One of my board gaming group LOVES 18xx and we've played 100s of games on 18xx.games. It is a really good interface, very well implemented. But I still suck at the games.

They're expensive but, my god, they're beautiful.
