Thoughts on other games played:
1. Luthier was a lot of fun, but behind Speakeasy for me in the new games
2. Only my second play for Gallerist and enjoyed it more this time than the first.
3. Clocktower continues to push out Werewolf for my social deduction gaming. I love it.

And of course the BGG puzzle hunt is always a favorite of mine. The puzzles this year were themed as a haunted diner cursed by a pair of twin girls who weren’t served their chicken strips on time. Solved the puzzles to break the curse and finished in the top 10 teams!

Had a booth at the bazaar where I brought a game or two to sell. Was happy with how it all ended up as I moved several games that needed to be cleared out to give me back my shelf space. And got a little money for them at the same time.

Got SETI down with the new expansion and went pretty crazy with the below corporation. Opponents worry it may be unbalanced, but too early to say with one playthrough. I think I mostly just had a lucky game and some good plays. Played with two of the new aliens and they were great. #seti

Speakeasy is the new game standout for me. I really enjoyed this lengthy game. I loved that one player took a different route to winning than just producing alcohol and was staying competitive. Multiple paths to victory are huge for a game. #speakeasy

Thoroughly enjoying the Wyrmspan expansion. New guilds add variety, eclectically as (generally) they are not as powerful as the originals. New income phase tightens the game up and gives some incentive to pass early. Fledglings are fine, but not revolutionary. #wyrmspan (2/x)

In theory the pirate should slow it down, but buying swords to get past them wasn’t tough and starting resources/rewards as opposed to 2 of each resouce felt like a lot. Extra building board also let players grab needed stuff instead of just improving the mancala wheel. Need to try again I think.

In August, we sat down on a Saturday and played a 3 player game. Everybody kept saying “We could get the epic end, but I want to do this one more thing…”
We ended up playing 8 hours… that burnt us out on it a little, but would like to get back to it again at some point.

For Frosthaven we finally stopped sidequestimg long enough to return to the main quest. One more to go there! We’ve unlocked everything at this point, so we’re just playing out the string. Excited to see how it all ends up as it’s been a long journey with this one!

This is my second run through Betrayal Legacy. 6th scenario was my first death of the game and also the first time the “good guys” didn’t win. All traitor losses (or group win with no traitor). It was a fun scenario though, down to the wire where a 7+ on 6 dice would have won it! Close one!

Finally Spirit Island is one of favorites and my brother and I play whenever he is in town. We “warmed up” with a difficulty 2 setup, and I’m glad we did! The events abused us, constantly thwarting plans and failing to help us. We squeaked by with a fear win on a blighted island (3/3) #spiritisland

Twilight Inscription was new to me and I enjoyed it. Only played Twilight Imperium once, so had more of a learning curve. However I enjoyed gathering resources and points across the different sheets. Warfare wasn’t my favorite, but adjusted and got 2nd of 8 players. 2/x #twilightinscription
