An enjoyable game of Earth, we both scored over 200 points. M grew a giant sequoia which fell over! The seeds from the expansion were very helpful in finding cards that we needed to meet goals. #boardgames #earth

Adventure to Mount Doom is a fairly quick way to play out LOTR! This trip in which we fought a lot of Uruk hai and would have failed without the help of Galadriel, took about 45 mins. Great fun! #boardgames #adventuretomountdoom

A festive play of Gingerbread House. We both made a delicious looking house by trapping various fairy tale folk with our sweet wares. A managed to do this more successfully in a rare win.

This is definitely our favourite co op. Today in Aeon’s end we had a tough fight against the maiden of thorns. Gravehold and our brave mages were on our knees but with one amazing turn we dealt 18 damage and banished the maiden! #boardgames #aeonsend

Today we ventured into the enormous treasure chest of Arnak. We didn’t trouble the new temple but got to see some new cards and helpers. This game saw the falconer against the professor, the latter winning by 7 points.

Finspan. M managed to get 72 points of fish! A seemed to get a lot of cards with similar powers at the beginning of the game which made for a slow start. It’s definitely one of our favorite games of 2025.

After completing day four of our exit advent calendar we played through the first There and Back Again chapter. Whilst enjoyable we prefer the complexity of the later adventures.

Trails of Tucana. We’ve played this flip and write 30 times, the majority of which were via zoom in 2021. It was good to get it out of the cupboard and try it again. There is a lot of luck in which landscapes appear but that’s half the fun! #boardgames #trailsoftucana

Today we chose Trajan. It’s our least played Feld game as it is quite intense. In the first couple of rounds we both lost points by not being able to fulfil the requests of the population. M did a lot of shipping and military actions which was the margin of victory.

We haven’t played Imhotep for over a year, today we dusted it off. It was a close game A winning by a single point. An enjoyable game with a lot of push your luck, hopefully it will get more plays in the near future. #boardgames #imhotep

The King’s Guild. It was a close game as we both made magic clothing and swords to defeat dragons, necromancers and spy on people. M was announced as the new King as he had scored more points from quests - what a way to chose a monarch! #boardgames #theking’sguild

We managed to win LOTR Fate of the Fellowship. We came to the conclusion it’s super hard with two, Frodo and Sam are a bit of a burden! We played two characters each who had four actions and then 1 action of F + S at the end of each turn - it worked well.

A rainy afternoon playing Isle of Cats. Lessons seemed to be hard to come across so the game felt less constrained. A (in a first), managed to fill most of their boat and had a family of 9 orange cats.

We played our favourite Span this evening, it was a high scoring game. M managed to get 28 points from 4 bonus cards, we think this is a record for us. Unusually not many points were gained from eggs, we both got over 50 points of birds.

We played the last chapter of There and Back Again, defeating Smaug. Overall we enjoyed working through the story, some chapters more involved than others. We would be happy to play any of of the scenarios again, A might even try the solo mode.

Another Flatout game Calico. Victory was decided by buttons. M got most points from cats and A from making the patterns. However as usual M was better at collecting button with 4 to A’s 1. Super crunchy for a small game!

We are enjoying our plays of Knitting Circle. A made a lot of socks to keep cold toes warm!
We backed Cascadia Alpine Lakes on KS this weekend. We love all the small box Flatout games.

Canopy is one of our favourite 2 player games. This was a close match, A got points from having two big trees and the biggest forest. M had a good collection of animals and played a lot of seeds during the game. #boardgames #canopy

A couple of plays of Fuse yesterday evening. The first was a disaster as the ship exploded as we struggled to defuse the bombs. Second play we succeeded with 2 1/2 mins left on the clock. A fun game that deserves more table time.

Another play of the hugely enjoyable Finspan. A high scoring game, we both got over 100. M won by having placed two more fish. We are looking forward to the upcoming expansion - there are never too many fish in the sea!

We played the penultimate chapter of There and back again. The rules were quite complicated and it took longer to play than the others. M won by getting to all the bonus squares first.

It was great to spend Sunday afternoon playing Viticulture with friends. As usual it felt like getting to twenty five points was difficult but then suddenly three players managed it on the same turn. J who only had a few points on the penultimate turn came second! #boardgames #viticulture

Our number of logged plays of Sagrada reached 243 yesterday. We played this a lot when we didn’t have so many fillers, it’s our most played game. We have a couple of the early expansions but tend to play with just the basic rules.
