So far, just short, lightweight games to "test the waters" on BGA. I have some others I may try soon, including Ticket to Ride.

Starting to play a bit on Board Game Arena. Not too bad so far. #boardgames #BGA

Played two of the small Ticket to Ride games yesterday with my wife. I won both of them. πŸ˜€Berlin and Paris. I liked Berlin a little better than Paris.

Fun game, but I lost. Maybe better luck next time (which I hope will be soon). πŸ™‚

New game tonight! Vicious Gardens from @atlasgames.bsky.social. Easy to learn and fairly quick to play. We definitely enjoyed it. Plays well with two players.

We own multiple versions of it (The Office, John Deere, etc.), but rarely play any of them. πŸ˜‚

I enjoy spicy foods, so the theme of this one definitely appeals to me. I have an expansion for it as well. Another game I should definitely play again soon.

Since joining Bluesky and finding the board game community here, I have definitely become more aware of the wide variety of games available as well as the wide variations in individual tastes in games.

I do sometimes see a new game that I need to buy. 😁

Scales of Fate A two-player strategic deduction board game.

Another one I decided to back:

Looks fairly unique for a two-player game.

Pirates of the High Teas: A Game of Piracy and Pastries Smuggle dishes, smash food, and serve tea in this whimsical strategy game for 1-4 tea-loving pirates.

Backing this one.

Partly because I'll most likely never get the first tea-themed game I backed. πŸ™

Four Kickstarter projects that I had saved launched today. I don't think I can afford to support all of them!

I missed it! (I'm on a very low-carb diet right now, so pie isn't on the menu for me anyway.)

Ewww. I think I'd move to Mexico instead. They have tasty food.

The tariffs will ultimately impact prices at the local game store as well. (Plus lots of other stores.)

Yes, it was.

Here in southern Arizona, we get a lot of fresh produce from Mexico, so we get hit with the tariffs there, too.

I usually open them right away just to look at them. πŸ˜€ It still can take a while before I get around to playing them, though. πŸ™

I just had to pay extra on a crowdfunded game thanks to DJT's tariffs. I'm sure this won't be the last time. 😑

I'm hoping that we will mostly or entirely switch away from the plastic K-Cups now.

What happened to the bulk coffee beans that so many grocery stores used to have? I don't see them anymore.
