It’s not always about the new hotness. Today I picked up two which I’ve wanted for years, thanks to a local seller. Troyes is just a fantastic game, and Concordia I’ve wanted forever. Hamburgum by the same Mac Gerdts was my true gateway game ❤️ #boardgames

Now we’re talking. I love a bit of mystery, and Chronicles of Crime are some of the best. I’m very excited to see what @luckyduckgames have in store in this box…

Okay, got that first play of Hadrian’s Wall done. This flip n write is so good. It’s like Ganz Schön Clever had a baby with Paladins of the West Kingdom, that’s the only way I can describe it. Flip n writes aren’t just filler any more, this is proper, crunchy euro, full of combos

Telephone and broadband down. My 8yo son is acting like he’s lost an arm, but I love it. A perfect reason to get games out. We’ve played some Wavelength, and now I’m playing (and freaking loving!) some Hadrian’s Wall from @garphillgames . Early days, but so far this is so clever
