Beer. I like good beer. And food. Good food. Wine is pretty good as well. Red wine rather than white. At a push though I'd have white.

No, haven’t tried them yet. Have been enjoying the base game with the family. Going to get a few games under their belt before I start introducing more content.

I’ve never seen a compass quite like that before. πŸ˜‰
I’m enjoying the game. πŸ‘πŸ»

Lovely few beers at Two Towns Brewing in Paisley.
The Juicy IPA and Salted Caramel stout were particular good.
A good fridge as well.

A couple of lovely pints and some board gaming. A very good night at Two Towns Brewing in Paisley with the Renfrewshire board gamers.

Imagine my surprise when I went onto a wee taproom in Paisley and found my favourite Helles on tap.
Superb. What a lovely pint.

Top tier game for me. It’s fantastic.

Would be interested to hear how you get on with that. I ended up going for Voidfall but Eclipse was on my radar. Don’t hear very much about these days.

Can totally understand why it’s not for everyone though.

Have to say I really enjoy it. Is the juice worth the squeeze? For me it was. To start with, yes 1 hour set up and loads of referencing, but now around 35min setup and even after not playing for bit I rarely need to check the iconography. To be fair I also play it solo so don’t need to teach.

Yes, thanks for that. I am aware but haven’t tried it yet. Thanks for the reminder.

A rare (for me) Mills beer.
They never disappoint. This one is complex, balsamic loveliness, and no way is it 10%. So easy to drink.

Another solo play of Civolution, this time a pretty hefty loss to V.I.C.I.
Such a great game though.

It was lovely. Really need to keep an eye out for their Mexicake again. It was superb. And they usually release All the Leaves are Brown around now as well.

It’s been an age since I’ve had this from Tempest and glad to report it’s as good as I remember.

OTT chilli for those interested.
The beer’s from Arrans Seagate brewery where I was at the weekend. Profits from this one go to the mountain rescue team and it’s absolutely delicious, so that’s a win-win.

I’d say so. A lot of their beer names come from video games and this is a re-brew of one of their first beers.

Fabulous beer.
Not so fabulous weather, but there’s steaks to be cooked.

My beautiful boy’s turning 10 tomorrow. How did that happen?
Having one of my favourite beers of the last few years to celebrate.
