Took a break from social media but needed to come back to talk about Galactic Cruise from @KinsonKeyGames A Lacerda by any other name, this is one of the most thematically connected heavy euros I've ever played. Just great!

Last game of @BreakoutCon was the long awaited Stationfall by @IonGameDesign It's a really fun design that leads to a great narrative feel. We played with 9 players which is a double edged sword. It's hilariously chaotic but the downtime between turns is a bit long.

And the last game of the night was London Necropolis Railway by Spielworxx and Daniel Newman. I'm always amazed how smooth this is. It just plays so quick and easy. With 4 players (three who had never played before it was still just 90 minutes with teach). Plus a great theme!

Game 2 was Clinic from AV Studio Games is an old favourite. It's a bit decisive, the 3d planning and building gives me just the right headache but not everyone agrees. Either way it's a game everyone should try.

Day 2 of @BreakoutCon has been a brain burner. 1st, it was Pampero. Run a clean energy company in Uruguay. It's one of the most intimidating looking games I've ever seen. But it flows fast and gets incredibly tight with 4 players. #tabletopgames #boardgames #breakout2025

Day 1 of @BreakoutCon ended with a couple of games of Gun It. Thematically it's the car chase scene from every movie. Mechanically it's a real time co-op where you need to plan everybody's moves in 30 seconds. I should hate it, but I don't. It's a fun little filler.

1st game of @BreakoutCon is our traditional Battlestar Galactica. It was also the fastest BSG game I've ever seen. Callie and Baltar teamed up for a near perfect Cylon victory. If the Centurions hadn't gotten us, the empty fuel tanks would have.

Played some 2p games: Meltwater by @hollandspiele Kelp by @Wonderbowgames P'achakuna by #Treecer Revolution of 1828 by @FrostedGames 4 very different games. All very good. Do you have a favourite 2p game? Which of these would you like to know more about? #tabletop #boardgames

What's better than building Jurassic Park? Competing to see who can build the best Jurassic Park! Dinogenics by @NinthHavenGames is the best dinosaur park game out there (a surprisingly crowded field). Amazing production and super thematic game play.

A new play of one of the first games in my modern hobby experience. Owned and sold 20+ years ago. Zombies!!! by Twillight Creations All I can say is I remembered the zombies being more of a threat. None of us so much as lost a life. Not a game I need. Looks pretty though.

2 games to practice my Spanish. Tzolk'in by @czechgames and La Granja: No Siesta by @StrongholdGames Tzolk'in is my favourite Italian design. Teohua...whatever fell flat but Tzolk'in is an amazing strategic experience. Love it. No Siesta is a great heavier roll and write!

Posting the games played this week & realized, I didn't post last week! Last week we played Roborally! It's chaotic and unpredictable but always a hoot. We play with 2 house rules, including if one player is eliminated, whoever is in the lead wins. Who else loves Roborally?
