This is a game I should get back on the table. It took me a few plays to like it. I can also see how it’s not for everyone. I feel like there is usually a turn or two that goes to complete waste due to not having the right cards.
I purchased this art at Gen Con 2025. We’d been on the lookout for a good frame. Found one at Goodwill this evening.
The edition we’re playing had upgraded pieces instead of the cardboard tiles that came with the game. All I can say is keep the tiles. Yes, there is some fiddling with bits, especially with initial set up.
Here’s a game I’ve never played - Orléans. The whole of GameHoleCon is just going to be us trying out games not in our personal collection. I hear really good things about this game. I’ve taken something for my headache and hoping to enjoy myself. #boardgames
We played a game of Beer and Bread. I liked everything about this game except the exchange drafting every other turn. It took a lot of strategy away and I just started collecting resources randomly in hopes I could make something. #boardgames
Hubby and I watched an anime about board games. We saw the characters play Marrakech and have wanted to try it ever since. Getting our chance at GameHoleCon. #boardgames
Day 3 of GameHoleCon and we’re playing Garden Dice by Doug Bass. We remember the creator teaching us this game at Gen Con many yrs ago. #boardgames
I was mad when Etsy seller sent me a sweatshirt instead of the hoodie I ordered for my Halloween costume. Seller refuses to fix problem. Hubby suggested I crochet a hat with flaps and add the 3 eyes to ea flap. Now my K-Pop Demon Hunter Sussy costume is complete. #Halloween
I like to think I know all the games. Then I go to a con, check out a game library, and realize I’m full of myself. Never heard of this game until today. It’s a good game so I’m a little sad I didn’t know about it sooner.
Decided to play Lorenzo il Magnifico. Hubby told me we played this at the Gen Con just before pandemic and I walked away epically pissed off. Apparently, the guy teaching the game was not great and told everyone rules as they came up. I enjoyed this play through quite a bit. #boardgames
Day 2 of GameHoleCon, started by playing Metro. This game was lots of fun. #boardgames
Was able to go to GameHoleCon on day one. We checked out the game library and tried Belfort. Not a bad worker placement at all. #boardgames
I knew not to shop with Etsy and I did it anyway. Now my costume is less than ideal bc the seller sent the wrong thing.
One can hope. It appears to be a very Take That game. I typically only enjoy that style of game when a lot of humor is involved.
Anyone ever played this game? Just found it at a thrift store for $3. It has a good rating on BGG so seemed worth a try for the price. #boardgames

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
That’s awesome looking! I saw them using Nordic Ware Bundt pans on The Great British Baking Show and I was way too happy.
Hubby and I have been having a good 2 wks of thrifting board games. These are the games we’ve picked up over the week. We paid $22+ for lot. Machi Koro is NIS, components in House of Danger are in shrink. #boardgames
Pretty! What brand of pan did you use? I’m a nerd and thrift Nordic Ware cake pans. I’m stupid nosey abt what other ppl use. (Feel free to ignore me.)

It’s boot season! This pair of Blundstone belongs to coworker. Been keeping them going for 3yrs now. 3yrs ago, she brought them to me with a massive turkey grease stain. She heard I was the best on staff, and she heard correctly. Just cleaned these boots and abt to waterproof. #boots
I didn’t care for the end of K-Pop Demon Hunters, but I found the rest cute. My students on the other hand…yeah, 11 yr olds are all about it. I bought a Sussy costume and d/l the soundtrack for Halloween. Feel free to judge. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Golden
Me looking at pictures: Woo, board games…
