10.02.2026 17:30 β π 683 π 67 π¬ 31 π 5A tense game of @roxley.bsky.social's Brass Birmingham. No surprise that yellow won here, dominating the links around Birmingham.
The undisputed π for a reason!
Got in a game of @gmtgames.bsky.social's Twilight Struggle last night, playing as the USSR! It was super tense - lots of small early-game decisions that have major impact as the war drags on.

Evil won the first and third games, with a good win in between.
Some great moments including a Saint execution, Ravenkeeper confirming the Virgin and a Mayor deflection on the Spy.

Really interesting mix of push your luck, auction and set collection mechanics. The most interesting aspect was being able to bid on previously used bidding tokens.
Feels like a deeper and more repayable 7 Wonders.
A great Knizia game, but still can't unseat Battle Line!

Loved hearing the excellent Sean Branney and Andrew Leman talk about the creation of the film afterwards!
Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Built a sweet Mardu midrange deck at my local #prerelease and went 2-1.
Lots of great synergies and overlap between the clans. Keen to draft the set in the future.
NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!
A 1995 CD-ROM. A game buried for a reason. You flip a card. The screen glitches. Something is watching.
Forbidden Solitaireβa dungeon horror from the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline.

Haha I found this out during that last game. Playing with 3 new players really set them at a disadvantage due to the requirement of needing to immediately pivot to block another player's strat or to stay flexible and benefit off another player's marketer.
What's the waitress strategy?
It's a great game for sure. Super deep and endlessly interesting. I've played it about 10 times now and am only starting to understand the types of builds you can make.
23.03.2025 01:35 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Food Chain Magnate is such a tight game!
Had an interesting setup with houses on the left and beverage stations on the right. Buying New Business Developers at the right time was key.
Keen to Play again soon!

Had an awesome time drafting @sorcerytcg.bsky.social Arthurian Legends for the first time!
Went 4-0 with a super aggressive Air/Fire deck - standouts being Sherwood Huntress, Magic Missiles and Vikings.
Pulled 10 uniques and 6 foils!
Keen for a box of Beta next.
