ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Today, we played Nestlings for the first time. This is a dice allocation, resource management game. The board and components are beautiful. The rule book was pretty iffy and the bot scoring arcane, but otherwise was a pretty distinctive gaming experience. #BoardGames 020
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Recently played Alhambra: Red Palace. Very enjoyable tile placement game. 010

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 23/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 22-Santa’s Workshop-play a building game. Today, we played San Juan Special Edition. We just got our KS of Puerto Rico delivered, and got San Juan with it. So we had to break it out and build some buildings. 020
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 22/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 21-Snowbound Story-play a narrative game. Today, we played Adventures of Robin Hood. In this chapter, Robin Hood and Little John rescued Alex the Blacksmith from Prince John. My favorite part of this game is the changing game board. It’s a genius design. 030

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 19/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 18-Evergreen-play a game that withstands the test of time. Today, we played Labyrinth. A puzzly route building game where you try to create paths to treasures. This is probably the oldest game we own, from 1982 I think. 000
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 18/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 17-Joy to the World-play a game w/ a global theme. Today, we played Trekking the World 2nd Ed., a great set educational travel and card drafting game. Great art too. 030
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 17/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 16-Under the Tree-play a gifted game. Today, we played Great British Baking Show game, a tableau? building game based on the tv show. my husband got this as a Xmas gift last year. It’s not a very good game, imo. 050
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 16/12/2025BoardGames advent calendar day 15 - North Pole Dash-play a racing game. Today, we played Wacky Races, a racing game based on the old cartoon. I originally got this game for the minis, but was really happy that the game itself is really fun. 030
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 15/12/2025BoardGames advent calendar day 14 - Festive Feast-play a game that involves food or farming. Today, we played Downtown Farmers Market, a card drafting, tableau building game. I lost horribly, mostly because I misunderstood 2 of my scoring objectives. 000
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 13/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 13 - Blizzard of Cards -play a card game. Today, we played Card Kingdoms of Valeria. This is a very underrated card game with a Machi Koro kind of mechanic. 060
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 13/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 12 - Merry Miniatures -play a game where the components shine. Today, we played Azul. Not a minis game, but the components are nice. 010
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 12/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 11 - Holiday Heist -play a deduction game. Today, we played Hunt a Killer:Dead Below Deck. Like most of these, we solved all the puzzles, hidden codes, etc., but still got the killer wrong because we still couldn’t put together the “clues” to make a cohesive story. 020
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 12/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 10 - Sparkling Strategy -play a game that makes your brain twinkle. Today, we played Onitama. Red prevailed. This game always makes my brain hurt. 020

This is a tile laying game where you lay cards to create a path from the North Pole to New York. While the board is cute, the game itself is dull and overly simple. 030
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 07/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 6 -Cocoa & Co-Op -play a co-op game. Today, we played Pandemic:Reign of Cthulhu. To my utter astonishment, we won! We never win Pandemic games. Happiness all around. 140
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 06/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 6 -Yuletide Challenge-play a game you haven’t mastered yet. Today, we played Village, a worker placement game where you play a family trying to build up their renown. It’s a tight confounding game where influence & actions are often at odds, & your workers die. 150

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 05/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 4 -Holiday Hustle-a real-time game. Today we played Kites, a real-time game simulating keeping kites aloft. It’s a very quick game. We played 3x and lost miserably 3x. Then we played in easy mode, where two of the colors were removed, and we won that one and called it 040
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 04/12/2025#BoardGames advent calendar day 3 - Cozy by the Fire - a cozy game. Today we played Creature Comforts, the quintessential cozy dice placement game. 020

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Yesterday, we played Nunatak, a set collection, area control game where you build up an ice pyramid. Loved, loved this game. #BoardGames 160
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 02/11/2025I’ve always loved Mihajlo Dimitrievski’s art in the West Kingdom and North Sea series of games. So, recently came across the Valeria series, and had to pick up Card Kingdoms. Again, love the art, but the game itself is great too. Tableau building with a Machi Koro-type mechanic. 040
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Played La Granja for the first time. Very enjoyable resource management game. Components are amazing. #BoardGames 0130

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 19/10/2025First game of the day was Abyss. First time playing. Enjoyed it a great deal. Lots of decision space, w/ a cool press your luck mechanic. #BoardGames 070
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Was excited to play and win Tales from the Red Dragon Inn. Playing Fiona and Gog, we won on the last possible round and second-to-last possible turn. #BoardGames 0110
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 11/10/2025First game of the day was Madcala. White rabbit vs Cheshire Cat. Cheshire Cat won. #BoardGames 020

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 11/08/2025I am so frustrated with Board & Dice Games. I bought Teotihuacan & all the wood tokens were missing. I asked for replacements & gave my address. All I get back is repeated replies of “we are sorry the inconvenience, tell us your address, and we will send you replacements.” This has happened 4x now. 020
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 08/07/2025I have a theory: when a politician makes a slightly cogent argument, the media latches onto one piece of it and criticizes it to death like a dog chewing on a bone. But when the whole thing is bullshit, there’s nothing to latch onto, and they just shrug their shoulders and move on. 000

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 17/04/2025This might just be cynicism, but in today’s politics, I ask myself, “what would it take for enough republicans to vote to impeach and convict?” If the answer is *nothing*, it’s actually quite freeing. Now I can focus my energy in something that isn’t a waste of time. 010
ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Today, we played Outer Rim w/ the Unfinished Business expansion. It took us about 5 hrs to play! The ambitions took forever to complete. We had all our fame done about 2 hrs before we got through the ambitions. Might not play w/ those next time. #BoardGames 080

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Today, we played La Fleur for the 1st time. This is a worker placement game where you purchase flowers, build gardens, invite visitors and gain prestige for putting on the best garden parties. Reminded me of a simpler version of Obsession. 8.5/10 #BoardGames 030

ulyssesc.bsky.social @ulyssesc.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Last game of the day, was Star Wars:the Deck Building Game, the Clone Wars edition. I played the Separitists and won handily. The Separitist ability to exile and retrieve exiled cards seems to be stronger than the Republic’s ability to draw cards. #BoardGame 030
