How’s this for my triple threat today? Hitting the #bgalphabetchallenge with my Letter K, the #Boardtober prompt of “Enchanted” and the first day of #Solotober with a solo game of Kinfire Delve, Scorn’s Stockade.

*mic drop* It’s good to be back. 💕

CapCon '25 was this weekend, and I had a GREAT time. Thanks to @capstone-games.com for hosting such a great event. It was a much-needed getaway from a rough September.

Quite a few games hit the table today. One that stood out was Conservas from @25thcentury.games - a wonderful solo adventure! #boardgames

That’s how I feel usually. I have Origins and Pax U. I’m right in the middle of both of them, geographically. So GenCon is a bit more of a haul. It makes it more difficult to justify.

Navigator Lana @navigatorlana.bsky.social · Jul 30

Exactly! That’s where I’ll be next!!

Hahaha that quite literally made burst out laughing. This is so true.

So who is sitting here in misery with me that’s NOT at GenCon? Let’s grab some ice cream and play a game to soothe our souls. #boardgames #gencon

Spy X Family

Spy x Family: Mission for Peanuts is a deduction game where players assume the different roles of the show, Spy x Family, and try to build the best duo (or trio) of cards! With quick-paced rounds and minimal cards, each decision matters as players try to outwit each other.

OH I have one of those and completely forgot about it! See I’m glad I posted, now I’ll remember to take it! It rains a lot here too in PA, so good point on the pieces!

Inspired by the "Question of the Week" on our Level Up Discord server... what is your board game organization style? Do you organize by color, shape, theme, or take the cat approach: "If it fits, it sits."

Mine is the cat approach. If it fits, it goes there!

My text came through wonky from Wordpress (I know what I did wrong) but I’m glad it made sense! Yes the last three cards is so great! My husband and I played some games where we completely wrecked each others final plans with those last cards!

The artwork is stunning! That’s going on my Instagram

I’ve only played the standard Wits & Wagers! I forgot there was a Vegas one.

Navigator Lana @navigatorlana.bsky.social · Jul 10

Jealous! Can I sneak over the pond and join?

Navigator Lana @navigatorlana.bsky.social · Jul 10

I think so too. I feel like it’s still so new (ish) compared to platforms like Facebook/Meta/Instagram and X that have been going for decades, as opposed to BlueSky that’s been going for just a couple years.

Navigator Lana @navigatorlana.bsky.social · Jul 10

Also I have Cyber Pet Quest. Cute game and cute art!

My theory is BlueSky is still a growing community and in its baby stage, really, as a social platform. I think people and BlueSky itself are still gaining their footing with where to find things and the algorithm. I doubt your designs suck, just a matter of gaining traction and keep building.

Tomorrow is Game Shop Day, when my friends and I get together (usually once a week) to play some games. On the docket for tomorrow is Bomb Busters and Deep Sea Endeavor. The question, though... which do we play first?! Let me know what you think! #boardgames
