Cracked open a Knizia's Rebirth for a nice wee board game afternoon. Living in Scotland we're at a stalemate who goes first.

A photo of a page of the rulebook for the board game, Rebirth. The highlighted rule, 10, states that the player who last visited Scotland starts the game

It's so beautiful I almost don't want to tear into it with my grubby little paws ✨💛

'Stand Up Guy' is a deck builder where the aim of the game is to cheer up your pals using jokes that fit their type of humour. The card types ranged from highbrow, absurd and slapstick

A screenshot of the game "Stand up guy".
The screen shows a pigeon on the left (player character) and a sad sports fan bear on the right wearing a foam finger. The player is currently holding one slapstick card in their hand. At the top of the screen is three bars, each indicating the humour type (slapstick, highbrow and absurd)
The dial beneath shows how happy the player has made their buddy

My partner and I have been working on a few fun and silly games over the past year. One of them, Chicken and Dino Smash, is a simple local multiplayer game where two players compete to collect as many eggs as possible.

The main menu screen for Chicken + Dino Smash, features a 3D green dinosaur model and a blue chicken looking angrily at each other with an egg sitting between them

a short clip of game play - with a dinosaur collecting a couple of eggs before being hit by the blue chicken losing his eggs. the play space is a grey floor with purple walls. on the left it reads "dino points: 0" and on the right it reads "chicken points: 10" increasing in 10s as the gif plays on.

A decent year for board games in 2024. Maybe I'll aim for 200+ plays this year and make a dent in my to play pile :')

I think I've just about recovered from EGX/Comic Con last week. As always it's an absolute delight to see our students kick butt and be amazing and show off all their hard work and talent after working hard during DARE Academy
