As I traditionally did on an abandoned platform I would like to point out that International Women's Day is Cynthia Rothrock's birthday. Happy both!

Day 2 of Dice Tower West: Overparked, Seti (demo), Buffet Boss, Life in the Amazonia, Brass Birmingham, Fast Sloths!
With @nathanrlong.bsky.social @sirbearsworth.bsky.social @tatewu.bsky.social

Overparked is a fun polyomino parking game by Origame. So happy it was in the DTW library as it's not available for retail yet in the US.

Enjoyed Life In the Amazonia by Bad Comet games! Best of all, someone saw us reading the rulebook and offered to teach!

Fast Sloths (5p) Silly fun pick-up and deliver game.
