Now that's what an awesome gaming weekend looks like. 🤩

Meepleriot @meepleriot.bsky.social · 14d

First play of "The other side of the hill". Not sure what to think about that one... 🤔

Epic game of Fire in the lake. Almost took Saigon, if only the last coup card would have come earlier... VC took home the Win, cause ARVN and the US were focused on taking back Saigon.

Any games contract that does not have a clear mechanism to return the game rights to the designer, and that does not give the designer meaningful input (and in some cases veto power) over art & development decisions, is an act of gross malfeasance. These should be standard.

So let's jump into that cube rails rabbit hole.

Meepleriot @meepleriot.bsky.social · 22d

Some new games on the shelf. One, I've been interested in for a long time and happy about the reprint, and one that simply attracted me by its beauty.

Meepleriot @meepleriot.bsky.social · 25d

Heard the solo bot is quite good. Maybe you can try that in the meantime.

Meepleriot @meepleriot.bsky.social · 25d

Yeah, took a look at CSW once. The structure of the whole thing and people there gives me an ick cause of the boomer vibes.

WG Facebook is also weird as well. Just there cause I have fomo, at the same time knowing I wouldn't miss anything.

Meepleriot @meepleriot.bsky.social · 25d

1. Porfiriana
2. Renaissance
3. Viking

Still have to play Transhumanity, Hispanica & Penning though.

Meepleriot @meepleriot.bsky.social · 25d

Hot take: pax Pamir is a very very good game, but the weakest one out of the pax series.

Speakes for the series.

Meepleriot @meepleriot.bsky.social · 25d

Nice gaming afternoon, where I finally got to play "Maria", followed by "Pax Pamir". "Maria" is definitely a game with a steep learning curve and where you for sure have to be cautious and have the board state in focus. Pamir again was a delight. My most played game.
