Check out my digital hex-and-counter game, Arete: Battles of Alexander the Great, on iOS, Android, and Steam. ⚔️ molotovcockatiel.com
Minor update for Arete: Battles of Alexander today, but I did tweak the VP requirements for the Pelium scenario so you'll have to update to the latest version (1.2.10) play online. Arete is on iOS, Android, and Steam (Win and Mac). #HexAndCounter #Wargames #Wargaming #BoardGames #AncientHistory
Reading “Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs” by Adrienne Mayor which is excellent so far. If you’re not afraid of snakes, here’s a passage to change that.
Always this one for me. Those eyes are pure nightmare.
People keep sharing this as if it’s some kind of flex. Fellow Americans, news still matters. And purple mountains plus people being nice to you on the street while voting for fascism isn’t exactly the dream some of you think it is.
Happy to discover there’s another mystery series set in ancient Rome. So far pretty good.
ngl the Clue Luxury Edition at Peabody Essex Museum looks pretty sweet
I did. This is the dress she wore. Notice how one sleeve is black. There’s enough real stuff that prove Trump is a POS. Don’t spread fake AI photos that discredit our side.
FIFA’s ties to Saudi Arabia were the end of my interest in World Cup ‘26. This moment was the nail in the coffin. (Also won’t be tuning in to the Idiocracy MMA “event” anytime soon.) Highly recommend watching PBS or listening to NPR instead.
If anyone ever makes a card-driven board game about this dark period in US history, please please please include this image on one of the cards.
Kicking off some Apocalypse Road versus Mrs. Molotov. Already getting cutthroat on the first lap with each blowing up an enemy car. 😂
Another Friday, another game of Obsession. Now with ALL of the expansions added! I might have an unhealthy addiction to this game. #BoardGames
Peloponnesian War. Still continuing on from the same game after the playbook example of play. Starting to “get it” now and as it’s flowing more, I’m really starting to love it. Just listened to Donald Kagan’s book and it’s really cool to see similar game events unfold.
Back at it, we’re obsessed with Obsession. Now with Upstairs Downstairs expansion. This game is so darned addictive.
WIP sneak peek. Coming soon to a digital counter near you. ⚔️
My bank account after encountering a board game sale. #BoardGames

People really pledged almost $13 million to have AI feed them some averaged-out generic slop. Dark times in this hobby. #BoardGames #AISlop
I hate sharing stuff from the bad place but goddam that’s funny.
Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character(s). Wrong answers only.
At GMT East, Mrs. Molotov withstanding a Union barrage in Army of the Potomac with mentoring help from the great @markherman54.bsky.social.
Pit stop at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA. So great to see his actual paintings in person and my god he was talented.
