September was full of bangers. Lot's of @gmtgames.bsky.social on the table and some economic Games as well. Can't complain.

Just can't get enough of @volko.bsky.social's "Coast Watchers" by @gmtgames.bsky.social. Probably my game of the year. Looking forward to the other games in the Recon Series.

First play of "In the shadows" by @danbullock.bsky.social & @josephnschmidt.bsky.social, released by @gmtgames.bsky.social, in over a year. What an elegant game! Honestly I don't know why it took so long to bring it back to the table. Love the mix of classic CDG with a COIN feel. 👌🏼

I recently revisited The British Way by @gmtgames.bsky.social as it is my go-to game when I want to introduce new people to the COIN system. I chose the Palestine scenario, as it has all the essential mechanics without some of the more complicated concepts like control, support or geography.

Two days later, it already got to the table again. Told you, I won't make the mistake of not playing it for a while twice. 😅

First play of "Twilight Struggle" by @gmtgames.bsky.social in almost 2 years. That's kind of embarrasing. Still, such an elegant design. Won't let it happen that this game doesn't get played for such a long time.

What an elegant classic! 👌🏼 Twilight Struggle by @gmtgames.bsky.social. First time on the table in almost two years. A mistake I don't want to make again.

"Baltic Empires" by Brian Asklev, art by @zweigefuhle.bsky.social and released by @gmtgames.bsky.social. What a beautiful game in every aspect. It comes across as a very simple game, but oh boy, this has layers. Lot's of levers you can pull on your way to victory. You just have to see them.

Another play of @volko.bsky.social s "Coast Watchers" by @gmtgames.bsky.social. First time we were going for a 5 turn scenario. Tight game, the Japanese won with 3 points! Managed to do some rescues and flood the islands with CWs, but my opponent was clearing a path good for his OPs. Great game!

Play 3 & 4 of @gmtgames.bsky.social Coast Watchers by @volko.bsky.social. First time I also played with the Allied. From this first experience I find them a bit harder to play, but just as much fun as the Japanese. Looking forward to dive deeper into the game and see all it's nuances. 👌🏼

First play of Indonesia by #SplotterSpellen and I'm truly amazed. Such an amazing design. Extremely deep with a really small ruleset. Every decision counts. Exactly how I love it. 👌🏼

First plays of Coast Watchers by @volko.bsky.social and released by @gmtgames.bsky.social leave me amazed! It's been a long time since a game flashed me that much. Hats off! 🎩 Could become one of my favorite games and I'm already looking forward to future games in the Recon Series. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Seljuk by @gmtgames.bsky.social got played again and of course in our second play the rules flowed much more. In our first play the rules were a bit much to remember, but once you get a few plays in, this game runs smoothe like an oiled machine.
