#Boardgame people! I'm planning on getting some of Roxley's Iron Clays, and saw a post about using puzzle boards for board games. What other generally usable board game accessories do you think enhance your gaming experience?

I think my mail carrier is trying to train me into having an actual conversation.

How is it that in my 54 years of life no one has ever told me that Blue Oyster Cult has a song about #Godzilla?

We killed Hitler!!!! Well, in #BlackOrchestra, the cooperative #boardgame of the German conspiracy to kill Hitler. I liked it. The game takes careful planning, and does a good job of keeping the tension high.

Got in a game of #Bonsai last night (well, and Dragonwood, Steampunk Rally Fusion, Dice Forge, and Age of Innovation). I like this one. Fits the theme well, not too complicated, pretty results. #boardgames.

Yet another call to support indie bookstores. But it's been a long time since I went to one that didn't suck. If I want to browse stuff that I actually want to buy, I have to go to Barnes & Noble. Having to go to a local store to order and then pick up sounds like ordering from ABE with more steps.
