#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Genotype! It's a game using worker placement, dice drafting, and set collection around genetics and botany. Yes, all those details around how Punnett squares work are actually used in the game.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? We got Rock Hard 1977 (yes, the amps go up to 11), Wine Cellar (they never go in the middle), Codenames (what's a miter?), and Wingspan (cherry cherry baby)!

Today's crazy Edgmont story: last day at the school. We kept it light by seeing which of my students could run through my division flash cards the fastest. My teacher bought me lunch, while some of my students gave me these cards, reminding me I'm the goat, the bid, and doing an amazing job.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Yesterday was Mariposas with the Saturday Night Strategists. But today I checked out a gameplay testing group, where I gave developer feedback for Renaissance Faire.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Amy and I just playing games while she's staying at her dad's as he recovers from a surgery. Today's games? Wingspan, Machi Koro, and Welcome To. She won the set 2 to 1.

Yesterday Greg and Cindy hosted a wrong party. The goal is that we all dress for a different party or event. We had people dressed for a beach party, a pajama party, a tea party, an Indian wedding, a country line dance, a pirate party, and several others, but I was there for the wedding party.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Power Grid! Due to the high player count and blocking off places, we ended up very nearly going from phase 1 directly to phase 3.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? We had Clue Conspiracy, a social deduction game set in the world of Clue, and Seven Prophecies, a trick taking game where you had to predict your overall ranking on each hand. One was a lot better than the other.

The board gamer in me wants you to know that Trump's actions around international conflict make more sense when you realize Russia (by way of Kamchatka) and Venezuela are two of the three entry points to North America on the Risk board, and the third goes through Greenland, another place he wants.

On that note, #HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? King of Tokyo before all that, then Isle of Cats, Machi Koro, and 12 Days!

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Jokkmokk, then Living Forest. And if activity on SOBA counts, I'll be teaching the group Concordia a bit later tonight.

Remember when we said during Thanksgiving that Amy's family stories get told so often that we need to play family story bingo next time they host a family event? Well, we were absolutely prepared to follow through on that.

The grand pic of all my PAX 2025 acquisitions! Top row are expansions, other two rows are new standalone games. Remember, friends, I'm just about always interested in setting aside time to play these (or anything else in the collection)!

By the afternoon I was reaching a point of physical exhaustion, so I came home a bit early. But I got some last minute goodies first!

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? We've got rounds of Wine Cellar, The Gang, and Junk Drawer with friends, plus sampling Goblin Laundromat in first look and Game Makers in the expo hall with Kristine!

I mostly spent the first day looking for clearance and discounted games. I think I did a pretty good job on it.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? I spent most of today around friends and getting an idea of what was new, so not a lot of hands-on game time, but did play Number Drop and Tidal Blades: Banner Festival.

Meeting your favorite creators is a time honored con tradition. Here's me with Ify Nwadiwe, the original host of everyone's favorite game show of pedantic corrections, Umm Actually.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Little Tavern, then Takenoko! Side note, it's cool when I see old friends at a game site. I'll probably run into them and more at PAX.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? We got a day at the street festival with Jokkmokk, then a day at the godfather's desk with Cash 'n' Guns!

Went to a Halloween party tonight. Since I was sick this week, I didn't have time to prepare a costume or even think much about planning for it...fortunately, someone else came with extra costumes for themselves that she offered to dress me up instead.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? The Fox Experiment! For some reason, my foxes all have Italian names.

Tom Coffman @octrinity.bsky.social · 17/07/2025
#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Castles of Burgundy and Barenpark! I won both games, except that I accidentally placed a tile I shouldn't have been able to place on Burgundy.

Today's crazy Lyft story: one of my rides got me within a few blocks of a good board game store, so I took some time off to see if they had some of the games I wanted to pick up previously at PAX Unplugged but weren't in stock then. Good news, they did!

Did you know Field of Screams has an off-season haunt? I do now!

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Video Game Champion! Whichever our NES-era selves is the best gamer? Also, how obvious is it how much the box art is clearly meant to be actual games?

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Raiders of the North Seas! This one took us a little while to really figure out and we agreed it was more interesting at 3 or 4 players, but enjoyable all the same.

#HeyTomWhatchaPlayingToday? Dice Hospital! Our dice definitely did not enter the hospital healthy.

It's wave 2 of the puzzle party! A new set of competitors joined and left frustrated, but (hopefully) in the best possible way. I've also kinda learned that given the trends I'm seeing between this and wave 1, I think I made the puzzles longer and/or more difficult than previous attempts at this.
