Some Undauted fun with the eldest tonight.
Many, many brave German riflemen lost their lives attempting to defend a small river in northern France.
And for what?
So a young man can win bragging rights over his poor old father! 😢

Boardgames are amazing. So many fantastic ideas, new mechanics and genres. That's not to mention the art and production that goes into a modern game. I'm particularly deep into the plethora of trick taking games at the moment
If you are lucky enough to have a good group, you are eating well.

It's taken bloody months, but I've finally finished the Tomb World Kill Team terrain.
Despite the time taken, I'm really happy with the end result.
Now I just need to play some games!

Sat here nervously listening to TMS and every ball I'm just expecting us to do something silly!

Some solo Space Hulk Death Angel on the table tonight.
Had this game for 15 years and never actually beaten it.
Unfortunately that is not going to change tonight!

I know it's cool to hate on Spotify Wrapped now,(because nobody is allowed to enjoy anything anymore) but mine should surprise absolutely nobody!

Big board game session last night. Played all 3 of the gaming genres.
Clans of Caledonia - deep Scottish Highland eurogame.
Undaunted - WW2 deck builder
Zombicide - big cooperative zombie slasher campaign.
Was great fun but might have played on a little later than should have!

That feeling when you sit down for a big sleeving session only to realise halfway through you done have enough sleeves!
People who don't play games just won't understand the pain and frustration!

I've put a load of interesting and fun boardgames on my list to the fat-man. If I get any I'll be totally delighted and thankful, however it's going to be pot-luck to see which I get.
Any I don't get will suddenly become the game I absolutely need in my life and will be out of stock everywhere!

At the Gladiators Live Tour in Manchester tonight with the fam. Bionic and Dynamite are sat directly behind us.
I'm totally trying to play it cool in front of Dynamite, but Bionic just gave me a fist-bump, and that's pretty cool!

Catching up on the highlights from last night's cricket and as disappointing as England's batting was, the bowling was incredible. Absolutely terrifying! At times it looked like someone was going to get seriously hurt (and I don't just mean Steve Smith pride)
Jimmy Anderson this is not!

Are yes, that familiar feeling of waking up to news of England getting out cheaply in Australia.
It's kinda reassuring in a way that I'm this mad world, some things never change.

The Two Towers (extended, obviously) and a take-away with the family.
I mean, I've probably have had better Sunday evenings at some point, but they don't come to mind right now.

Gaming this weekend has been all over the place. Started with the classic eurogame, Castles of Burgundy, before a romp through the ameritash zombie infected streets of Washington DC in Zombicide!
Later it's a full afternoon of Blood Bowl as our league comes to an end with the playoffs. Fun times!

Not the result we wanted today, but was good have a crowed in at Ewood for the 150th celebration.

A bit of a family Halloween tradition as we break out Mansions of Madness.
Going a bit retro with the 1st edition!

Been playing around with the Xbox cloud stuff (now that my Internet can support it properly). Booted up Fable as a bit of a nostalgic test only to be hit with a reminder of the "SmartGlass" 2nd screen fad that was a thing for about 6 months.
My god, what where they thinking!

Eldest is up late building his first ever PC from parts he's bought himself.
Despite having a dad in the next room that teaches computing & spent years as an Techie, he's not asked for any help at all.
Feeling particularly proud of him but also annoyed because I really would have enjoyed helping.

Lots of boardgame fun with a mate last night.
Starting with some Cascadia (which is just delightful!) and then the excellent Super Boss Dungeon.
Aren't boardgames just amazing beautiful things?

Am I the only one that hates bonus tracks being lumped in with the rest of an album on streaming services? A good well-sequenced album has a natural end, and then "hey here's four tracks that weren't good enough, and some rough live stuff to spoil the vibe."
