Railroad Revolution

One of my favorite games, but my wife doesn’t like it at all. The singing wire feels a bit overpowered... otherwise, I love the funny worker-mechanism and how it’s a deep but… read more

Eila und das glitzernde Etwas

A friend recommended it to us, and we’re about halfway through. Apparently, the second half gets really morally heavy with some tough choices. We’re super excited to see how it… read more

Der Hobbit: Hin und Zurück

Everdell

...with Pearlbrook and Newleaf. It looks great, but I don’t enjoy it as much anymore. It feels more like work than playing because there are so many options. And it’s really hard… read more

Vantage

Weekend game night again! Vantage hit the table (like it always does lately 😅). My wife, as usual, didn’t actively contribute to the game ("just a little more exploring"), but… read more

Planet Unknown

I’ve been keeping an eye out for this for a while and finally snagged it at a good price. It’s pretty multiplayer-solitary—you can barely get others involved except by dumping… read more

6:Siege The Boardgame

So finally, the wildest crowdfunding ride for me comes to an end. Waited forever for it, the original publisher went "bankrupt" and then somehow got "saved" anyway 💪🏻😬 read more

Spirit Island

Today we slowly but surely cranked up the difficulty. The 3 matches against England had some seriously different ghosts, but we still won them easily. Tomorrow, we’re moving on to… read more

Yesterday afternoon, I quickly showed the kids the principles of capitalism. Turns out, the little ones are surprisingly good at it. read more

Brand new and coming out Friday as a wind-down for 6 players at the table. A trick-taking game where each of the 4 rounds has its own rules. But in one or two different ways, you… read more
