Back Again Board Game Cafe

If we were rolling a 20-sided die for each of these 3 food displays, what did we roll on each result?

Game & Treat Pairing

Game: Sky Team
- coop for two where you land a plane and only your dice can talk

Treat: black coffee
- dark, bitter fuel for dice strategies that's also somehow warm and cozy

Too Many Bones: the beginning Couple reading the rulebook together with tea

Vantage game cards on the table - "Wait! I can do drugs!"

Call of Cthulhu one-shots: so many implications Duo makes gestures while GM laughs behind the book

Too Many Bones: the end? Couple goes over options as poker chip health dwindles in the game. Tea remains.

Favorite photos from the week.
Vantage from Heavy Games teach Fridays at 6

What if... you were supposed to cheat and only one player could stop you. Welcome to Cheating Moths where you want to get rid of moth cards any way you can except play them. Beware, the guard bug is watching.

It's primarily worker placement with a few "oh, we should both worry about that coop-ish elements". If the cultist plans go off, worker placement spots go away.
