Recap Monday week 31 - what did you play last week?
  • Broke out Ragusa finally, and played a couple solo games with it. I really enjoyed the “other players benefit from your action” aspect of it (for clarification, you’re placing houses at the corners of resource hexagons, and when you activate certain hexagons, each other player who has house(s) around it also take the action).

    The rules take a bit to sink in, but I found it pretty satisfying.

  • I encountered this as well when I thought I had accidentally posted a comment joking about board games on a post about the Hong Kong protestor and panicked for a moment. Glad to hear an issue was submitted already.

  • Recap Monday Week 28 - What did you play last week?
  • I see your concern there, and I’m in the same boat as far as not wanting to make games not fun. For me, the app is more of a way to keep track of what I’ve played, keeping high scores, and knowing what day of the week I sacrifice most of my time to board games on.

    Thanks for that info about Dominion though. I’ll only abuse it a couple times. ;)

  • Recap Monday Week 28 - What did you play last week?
  • I played a few solo games, including Dustrunner and Gate, and I did a couple scenarios in Monster Expedition (in which I realized I had been under-improving my hunting camps in my previous games by not using all applicable dice). My girlfriend and I got in a couple games of Wingspan ala duet mode, which is always a satisfying way to spend post of an afternoon.

    Also, I picked up the BGStats app and have spent a fair amount of time entering any logged games I could scrounge up. I feel complete now.

  • Saturday Morning Gate(s)
  • Not sure if you saw it, but there is a Gates mat actually! It’s annoyingly several dollars more, but for completeness, it’s there. And thanks for the heads up on the sale! Any suggestions for other good games?

  • Saturday Morning Gate(s)

    Broke out Gate and the Gates expansion for this morning’s solo game session. Got close to winning this time around, but the deck was under built by the time I got to the final two enemies. Final score of 30!

  • I’m probably going against popular opinion here, but I think Badger isn’t bad. And as much as I love space and missions into space, I’m a bit tired of it for the moment.

    Something invoking nature would be nice, whether that he something involving animals or natural community of some kind. In keeping with the mouse theme, how about Muro (short for the rodent superfamily name Muroidea)?

  • Donation strategy: how do you allocate your donations?
  • For those transfer fees alone, I should be switching to yearly donations, but I’m about half half monthly and yearly right now. Looking at the ones I support via Patreon, not all of them actually offer a yearly option though.

  • Friday Morning Onirim

    Opted for a couple games of Onirim this morning, and I got close to finally winning! Or at least I thought I had until I checked the discard and saw that that blue moon card I needed was discarded only a few turns into the game. Oh well, one day…

    Confusion around duplicate communities
  • I subscribe to multiple communities for the same reason. In addition, the communities tend to be pretty small, and this helps me see the posts that might go under the radar if I otherwise were not subscribed.

  • Favorite small-medium sized solo games?

    I’ve been playing a number of solo games lately as my usual group seems to be doomed to never have aligned schedules these days. I’m currently in love with Arkham Horror LCG and the Wingspan Automata, but I also enjoy smaller games like Totem (solo mode) and One Deck Dungeon. What small-medium sized solo games do y’all enjoy?
