like right now? lol

I have an account but I don't think I've ever used it

 

We could do turned base, so it’s not real time. Just take turns every couple of hours or one a day or whatever.
I have someone on here on my friends list, but I didn’t know if it was you or someone else.

 

It's me, I'm SonofSnow

 

oh yeah that'd be fun! totally down for that

 

Wanna play Wingspan?

anyone want to join a game of Wingspan on board game arena?

 

I can do an asynchronous game for sure

 

same, I just logged in - my username is the same as it is on here

 

just had a couple of friends over to play Wyrmspan. I still have not won a round but it was damn close this time lmao, plus one of us hit 100 points exactly for the first time which was very satisfying

 

Ugh I need to pull that out again. I played it three times and haven't picked it up since

 

I swear I don't just blindly play what Shut Up and Sit Down recommends, but my last three new boardgame plays were Slay The Spire, Thunder Road: Vendetta and DroPolter.

All good experiences but StS was the best of the lot by a good margin for me.

 

I have played literally nothing but A Gentle Rain since getting it. Even got the special edition that is a Target exclusive

 

Played The Quest for El Dorado and QE for the first time tonight, both were bangers but super impressed by how fun and unique QE feels.

 

Both games are awesome. QE is so unique. It’s surprising it even works.

 

I may be addicted to Final Girl…

 

That new Childish Gambino song is going viral in an unexpected way

D&D tiktok is mourning the loss of a character called Fartbuckle

And some people are even making animatics dedicated to him

 

Oh man, this is gonna rule.

 

I also finally got to play Food Chain Magnate and holy shit that game rules.

 

I’ve never played. Seems like a lot….

 

Gateway Island — Van Ryder Games

This is gonna be really cool

 

So it has a 4.2/5 complexity on BGG but the rule book is only like 8 pages so it's mostly very heady strategy stuff versus overly complex rules, I got lambasted but still had a great time.

 

We got destroyed in a 3 player game of Marvel Champions

 

Played Scout for the first time, immediately love that one!

We also played Dice Forge and Terraforming Mars yesterday and I was a little disappointed with both, Dice Forge sounds so interesting on paper but the turns feel so inconsequential, and Terraforming Mars is still a great game, but doesn't knock my socks off like it did 5 years ago.

 

Scout is really great. Two games that I’ve really taken to in the same genre this year are Bacon and Seers Catalog. I love those type of card games

 

Yeah we played Phase 10 last weekend and I largely found it to be a terrible, terrible game but it did make me want to play other games like it so I finally pulled out Scout and ordered Take 5/6nimt, I do wanna try Bacon out too

 

I forgot to mention the other night I played The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31. It's a deduction game based on the movie (the old one, not the terrible remake). It was pretty fun but it was apparent after one round who the one infected person was out of the five of us. We still failed to finish, having destroyed several rooms by setting them on fire lol. Would be fun with more people.

The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31

I also sold most of my Root stuff. I don't play it enough to justify having all of it. I had literally every product except for one expansion. The only time I ever played it was with friends every few months. I'm not even that good at it. I had my fun with it but I couldn't justify the space it was taking up, especially since we just moved to a place with not a lot of storage.
