Ok I REALLY liked the gameplay in this one. I think I like it more than Revive. The rulebook isn't great tho. And there's no player aids - I printed them out myself. But overall a pretty positive experience! #boardgames

Boardgame day gives me all the feels. Im so blessed to have an amazing group of friends to game with! It was the first time I've played an expansion to Galactic Cruise and it shook my strategy up. Not in a good way. #boardgames

I had heard this game overstays it's welcome on the table. I did not find that to be the case at all. No regerts! #boardgames

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words
"Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."

Fliptoons Season 2. I love this game so much. Not sure how I feel about the Return mechanic, Im gonna have to play it more. I am looking forward to combining both games in a large group. That ladybug... 🥰 #boardgames

I like the mechanics.. love the Victorian art... but too long for what it is. It felt like it overstayed it's welcome on the table. Next time we'll try playing to just 5 reputation rather than 7. #boardgames

Finally got Viticulture Bordeaux to the table last night. I don't think we fully took advantage of the Hire an Expert Worker, but I did use the trade board and a Special Worker (from Tuscany). I like the changes to the wake up track and the Residuals. #boardgames

Last night I got together with a few friends for an early Cinco de Mayo celebration. The margaritas were flowing, so we stuck with light to medium games. Shown here is Newton, the heaviest game we played. Also Just One, Magical Athlete, Nana Tori Dori and So Clover! #boardgames

Unfortunately, we ran out of time to finish this 4 player game of Spirit Island. We were so close to a win. A friend has this game really blinged out with all the expansions. Is there a game you love that you've blinged out with all the expansions or deluxe bits? #boardgames

I finally got my hands on Magical Athlete. We played at 8, against my better judgment. Still had fun. Fave game this month was Dune Imperium Uprising. I had been avoiding it, as I don't generally enjoy IP games. I was delightfully wrong! Taught my son a couple that he really liked. #boardgames

My brain was mush by the time we started Dune Imperium: Uprising, and I worried that I would struggle since I hadn't watched a playthrough. But by round 3 I felt up to speed and ended up really enjoying it! Which version do you prefer? #boardgames

First game of Botany! We liked the game, but it was a little long and we ran into several edge cases that weren't in the rulebook. Overall a positive experience tho! Beautiful art! #boardgames
