Tiny Towns is a damning indictment on urban sprawl, overcrowding, and an ever-expanding society’s need for quick, affordable housing! Actually, it’s not. It’s a really cute abstract puzzle about space optimisation, forward planning, and the most adorable little wooden buildings.
I love an Escape Room. I’ve done as many in-person rooms as I could before lockdown hit, and I’m a big fan of games that replicate the feeling, like the Exit series, and the Escape Tales games. I recently heard about a new escape room experience, an entirely web-based one called Webscapade, and was invited to come along and play.
Daedalus built the famous Labyrinth, used to imprison the Minotaur. Mazescape Labyrinthos drops you into a maze more devious than anything the Minotaur faced.
The third in the Escape Tales series – Children of Wyrmwoods – takes place in a world beyond our time, in villages, towers and thick forests.
Low Memory is the second game in the Escape Tales series from Board&Dice. It eschews the paranormal setting of its predecessor – The Awakening – and takes us into the near future
The Escape Tales series from Board&Dice are games in the ‘escape room in a box’ style. Follow the story, solve puzzles and make decisions to see how what happens in your adventure
My little dude got to choose a game for tonight, and he picked Minecraft: Builders and Biomes by @RavensburgerUK . It's a much better game than most of the terrible kid-magnet franchise cash-ins, and I enjoy the tactical choices. Plus, giant wooden cubes! 😃
3I was cleaning up my games and had a little shelf re-organisation at the same time. It's nice to look up from work and see the things I'm most interested in playing.
4Learning how to play Lunar Base by @LunarBaseGame this evening. It's so simple to learn, but really competitive. Base-building needs careful decisions, and there's some great direct interaction going on.
3This is so good! The SDR folk have worked SO hard on this game and campaign, changed expectations for game manufacturing, and PROVEN sustainable is possible. It's not just window dressing either, there's a great game. Please go and take a look.
We spoke too soon!
You know that professionally translated German edition, and the fancy pants box insert?
Yeah we unlocked them too 😏💚 https://twitter.com/SDRgames_studio/status/1440741140639084549
Do you wish you were on another planet sometimes? Try Mars! I've been playing Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition, from @tired_wings @_tnl_ @FryxGames & @StrongholdGames . The original game's little sibling is a fantastic game - better than the original? https://punchboard.co.uk/terraforming-mars-ares-expedition-review/
