In person gaming was light for November due to being quite busy. Some good games though!

Texans had too many men on the field the entire game. They were wearing black and white striped shirts.

Imagine if the Colts had a kicker who could make extra points. Could be a tie game now.

Or if the refs didn’t give the Texans a first down in the red zone leading to a TD.

Badgley has to be replaced. Can’t trust him on a PAT, how can you trust him on any FG distance?

The box of Hercules and the 12 Labors stands behind the initial setup of the game. The bow and Semean Lion cards sit in the foreground with other cards in a row behind.

Four cards representing the 6th labor, Stymphalian Birds, lay into one connected picture of red birds with long necks and beaks flying through the air.

Took Herc about halfway through his 12 labors tonight until those darn Stymphalian birds outnumbered him.

AEW wrestler Orange Cassidy, wearing a turkey costume, dives towards a group of wrestlers on the outside of the ring. The photo is meme’d with “Me” near Orange Cassidy and “My 3rd plate” near the group of wrestlers OC is diving toward. Gobble gobble, baybee

Happy Thanksgiving!

Went to my FLGS game night tonight. We played Scout, Botswana and king of the hill Dice Throne.
Great time!

Will the joy of the first half of the year be enough to sustain us through the long winter if the second half continues this way?

tl;dr - Why can’t Colts fans be allowed happiness?

….for $1.25 probably.

Probably nothing that super rich guys are on my TV every day saying THE ECONOMY IS NOT ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE

Would love to see Hangman help Swerve in a similar way he was helped: an opportunity offered but no direct interference.

Sure looked as if he lost control and the ball hit the ground to me on the replay.

The Pope appears to be singing into a microphone

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath
And I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?

The play calling was questionable but I’m not sure it mattered. Couldn’t run late in the game, couldn’t complete passes, and couldn’t catch passes. Not sure what plays would have made a difference.

Offense has been bad since the 2nd quarter. Need to put a drive together.

I am old enough to remember when he was accusing the left of inciting political violence, two whole months ago.

Wicked 2 The End?

I have a Browncastle board (and formerly owned a Mayday) and there is NO comparison. The Browncastle board (and other products) is superior in every way.

Don’t reward thieves! Get a Browncastle (or a Tracey).

Love auction games!

Ra, For Sale, High Society, No Thanks, QE, Wabash Cannonball, Medici, Irish Gauge, Big Top, Goblin Vaults and Skyrise are a few of my favorites.

When they go low we show them what the consequences are for not going high

I just saw Shady Maple Smorgasbord featured on Jolly. I had to look up the location and told my wife "if I'm ever driving to PAXU, I know where I am stopping".

I paid much more than this importing my copy. It’s a really solid card game and I would recommend giving it a shot.

Now I need a way to get The Great Evening Banquet without importing.

Always tough to narrow down to ten (or even rank games) but I’ll go with:

The Castles of Burgundy
Lost Ruins of Arnak
Dice Throne
Galactic Cruise
Skull King
Space Base
Ark Nova
Heat: Pedal to the Metal
Marvel Zombies
Rococo Deluxe

3rd game of Sanctuary tonight.
Less moving parts than Ark Nova. Plays in 1/2 the time.

Theme is the same. Actions not identical but familiar.

Sanctuary = more puzzley w/scoring combos.
Ark Nova = maximizing current turns to maximize future turns.

I’m happy to play/keep both in my collection.

A draft dodger says what?

Would have been really cool not to have missed that PAT in the 1st quarter.

I miss Buckner :(

And still 3 more games (at least) without him. Going to be a rough stretch.
