2 new kickstarters this week with fantastic themes and insane production. It is a golden era. Unconscious Minds by Fantasia Games explores psychoanalysis as one of Freud's early associates. Through Ice and Snow by 2 Tomatoes Games takes on the quest for the Northwest Passage!
👍yup! A Hierophant to be specific!
I have new and exciting thing to paint! After 2 yrs of moving from friend to friend after I bought it sight unseen, it's finally in my hands. Any guesses? My Hive Tyrant for scale. #gamesworkshop#WarhammerCommunity#tyranids
This is really amazing work. Absolutely fascinating.
New article about debiasing the #BoardGameGeek ranking: blog.recommend.games/posts/debias... 🤓
Bias is a bit of an ugly word, isn’t it? It certainly has become one of those battle phrases in the culture war, where both sides of the argument accuse the other of forcing their biases onto …
Lots of games new and old last week. Up first was Robotech Reconstruction by Strange Machine Games and @drwictz.bsky.social A COIN game after the 1st robotech war. Vert cool asymmetrical 4 player game. My REF looked like a lock in turn 3 but an insanely clever play by Reed gave the RDF the win.
Never heard of that one but it's on my list now!
And now a game no one's heard of. Kappa Bros by Itten Games. Technically a two player game, but there's no reason you couldn't play with more. The rules are simple: Throw the fish dice, add water and/or move the water, don't spill. Silly and fun! What more do you want?
My most anticipated want to play has been played! Arcs by Leder Games ! An amazing design and a lot of fun. We did have a few rules questions and it feels like some of the campaign decisions might neg affect the base game but still really good. I definitely need more plays!
3 games last night! Hit Z Road by Space Cowboys is an amazingly cohesive and gorgeous package. Sadly the game is a bit meh. Heat by Days of Wonder is a lot of fun. Blinged out with an awesome truck! FORK by Tate Wu, a bluffing tricktaker that I'll be digging into further.
Just three for the Monday night group, which is perfect for The Expanse by Wizkids. Confession time: I wasn't a fan of the show. Still here? Good, because the game is very good. There are a few design choices that seem to be theme before design but still very good.
