Everdell is a beautifully illustrated game with a unique blend of worker placement & tableau-building mechanics. Designed by James A. Wilson and published by @StarlingGames, it offers a satisfying seasonal rhythm & a world full of critters & constructions. #whatdidyouplaymondays

though there's something about Finspan that feels like a refining of that overall mechanic. It's worth the time, especially if you found the others in the series enjoyable.

I honestly didn't 'catch' that until later. ๐Ÿ˜ There's a thought I've been wrestling with, and that's this: if Finspan had come first, it would have made Wingspan feel sloppy (and maybe by extension, Wyrmspan, too). I don't know if I completely agree with it,

Tried Finspan this weekend and was genuinely surprised. I expected more of the same from the Wingspan/Wyrmspan line, but itโ€™s impressively streamlined and stands on its own. Smooth, clever, and fun. Definitely worth checking out. #whatdidyouplaymondays #boardgames

@thedollop.bsky.social is a history podcast where comedian Dave Anthony reads a story from American history to his co-host, Gareth Reynoldsโ€”who has no idea what the topic will be about. The result is a hilarious and insightful deep dive into the strange corners of the past.

Iโ€™m grateful to have a place like Lost in Fun here in Lincoln! On rainy days like this, having a clean, climate-controlled space where little ones can run, jump, and play is an absolute lifesaver.

Lately, weโ€™ve been making a point to step outside our usual spots, and that led us to El Cielito Lindo Mexican Restaurant. Tucked away at 100 N 1st St, this unassuming gem serves up a fantastic variety of Mexican classicsโ€”tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and more.

The chickens and I enjoyed the warm weather and did a little spring cleaning of the coop before the blizzard hit. This is one, giving a squawk of approval once the work had been finished.

'Meadow' is a beautifully illustrated game. Published by Rebel Studio and designed by Klemens Kalicki, it blends strategic planning with a relaxing experience. If you enjoy games like 'Wingspan' or 'Parks', this one might be worth a look!

Always a pleasure to stop at The Game Shoppe in Bellevue, NE. Picked up the rest of the MicroMacro series and 'Forest Shuffle'. Looking forward to getting them to the table!
