I just pulled this card and it is utterly adorable. Such a proud little fledgling. I’ve heard there’s a Falkor-inspired dragon in the expansion too. Haven’t seen it yet but I love The Neverending Story so I am looking forward to drawing that card during a game ❤️

Before today, I had played 72 games of Wyrmspan. This was game 73, my first with the new Dragon Academy expansion. I thoroughly enjoyed the changes brought by the expansion and the artwork is simply 😍. Time to play it again, and again, and again ❤️ #boardgames

Soloing Biomos this evening. #boardgames

Biomos board game in the middle of a solo game using the Family Mode board with forest and mountain tiles in the board next to stacks of cards, the one on the left the cards won by me so fat, and the one on the right is the solo mode card with 20 points and its stack of terrain tiles above it. Above the player board are two rows of cards, three more terrain tiles, and the Biomos game box lid.
