@boardgamegeek.com For an award you say acknowledges artistry, why are you choosing to highlight a game:

- That uses AI art (which surely is anti-artistry if anything)
- Designed by a person whose transphobic views have no place in our industry (artist = artistry)

We love this custom 3D printed Waypoints box by BGG user jschott!

All the slicing for our upcoming Advent Calendar wrap-up video!

It was meant to be shorter, but it ended up taking a while to talk about 24 days worth of board games 😅

Slicing and dicing in DaVinci Resolve today, to remove the "ummmm", extra long pauses, and shorten the final thing 🎞️
Cropped screenshot from DaVinci Resolve showing two audio tracks and the files (with wavreforms) on them. One track (purple) is my audio file from a DJI mic, and the other is for Joana (blue). On the left of the playhead are lots of cuts made to the audio tracks, where I've remove small portions.

Tonight we sat by the fireplace and enjoyed Cascadia: Rolling Rivers for the first time!

We love flip and writes,
We love dice rolling

This was a winning combo, and made for a very pleasant game 😊

#BoardGames
The board game Cascadia: Rolling Rivers, with the box standing on a grey table cloth, with the cards, dice, and player sheets on display. Beyond the table is a fireplace burning.

Today we played Schotten Totten for the first time!

Pleasantly surprised by this 1v1 lane battler card game. We found it simple to learn and quick to play.

After a few more games of the base game we'll be sure to add in the extra variant cards!

#BoardGames
The board game Schotten Totten in the process of being played on a grey table cloth. The box is partly visible showing a fun illustation of a chicken with a hat, and some of the cards in play in columns, against border pieces. The board game Schotten Totten in play, showing a couple of cards from my hand, and my partner across from me holding her cards. In the middle on the table are the cards we've played against a central border line.

To start 2026, we played a new (to us) game!

Rebirth has been on our shelf of opportunity for a few months now, and we're really glad to have experienced today.

Lovely production, simple to get into, and we found it really fun to play 🏰

Day 4 of #SpielMas ☃️

Tonight we played a couple of nice shorter games, Second Chance, and Veggies 🎨🍄‍🟫

#BoardGames
The board game Second Chance being played, showing two partially filled in sheets with polyominio shapes we've coloured and styled differently, and the deck of small cards we're using that define what shapes we can use on any given turn. The board game Veggies, showing our two player setup of "Market Stalls" made up from layering cards that feature of a 2x3 grid of squares and a variety of market items, like bananas, carrots, mushrooms, or even some sneaky mice hiding in boxes.
