The Statistical Board Gamer Mom.🩵🩵 Wife❤️ Math/Statistics Teacher. I love sports.
Little solo gaming time for Mom while the boys are at the playground with Dad Awaken the Ancients And Wayfarers of the South Tigris on BGA
Heard some mixed reviews on this one BUT I got it for a great price and I love White Castle. I've heard the negatives are there aren't enough turns so CHALLENGE ACCEPTED Covenant
7th Inning Stretch on the beautiful stitched mat. Having a blast narrating this game in my basement. Forgot about adjustments and lost miserable at first, then I played on Rookie with a hitting coach which is too easy but I had fun! I think the sweet spot is just HOF with a hitting coach. 8/10
Saltfjord is a nice little puzzle that I still stink at. I did finally score 117 pts and on advanced mode with the wagons, that's a victory but no medal. The 3d insert is mandatory if only to hold the pieces in place on the board So far I'll keep it 7/10
Shout out to BSGgames.ca for the donation of two more games to the cause. Look forward to testing these out in the first few days of school next year Mathematicians Duel and Sinoda
Storybook Saga Another Gabe Barrett SGOTM. I late backed this one but as with Small Time Heroes, super glad I did. Gives me 7th Inning Stretch vibes (which I still love because I'm a huge baseball fan) but it's definitely different enough. First impressions: 7.5/10 looking forward to playing more
Overall Aquaria is a nice, fun little puzzle. Tomas Holek made another keeper for me. It's no SETI but I enjoyed it. Played 2 handed and then the solo mode. Hope someone will be an unofficial bot because it's essentially BYOS. But still fun
2 handed play of Aquaria and it was a lot of fun! Look forward to trying it solo Not as good as SETI right now but still pretty fun!
Played Darwin's Journey Solo on BGA and that's the first time I've maxed out the theory of evolution track. 80 points from it because I couldn't get that final row complete. 180-140 victory!
Can Tomas Holek do it again? SETI is my new #1 game of all time so when I saw Aquaria for a great price, I had to go for it. Excited for my first play!
Darwin's Journey with Fireland. Although not an essential expansion, it was definitely a lot of fun and for someone such as myself who plans on playing it a lot, adds nice variability
Great month of gaming featuring a return to solo plays, a local board game convention, and some more games off the Shelf of Opportunity. Big hits for me: Rebel Princess! What an awesome little trick taker. Darwin's Journey has turned into one of my top 5 games of all time, and Revive is perfect.
Darwin's Journey is rapidly running up my top games list. First solo play and I won. Playing with Fireland Wednesday night!
Day 2 of our local con featured more socializing but still got in Isle of Cats and Viscounts of the West Kingdom! Others played: Ark Nova, Fire Tower, Calico, Rebel Princess
First day of our first ever BG Con with my local group! Lots of fun! Played Fliptoons x 2, Rebel Princess x 2, Spirited, Etherstone, and Skull
Another gracious donation from small time publisher Maka Games. Inktentions and License to Krill which comes not in a box, but a plushie!
👀👀👀 new delivery! Can't wait! @garphillgames.bsky.social
Forgot to take pics but played 2 games of Pondscape and what a cute little game! I like the variability because you simply cannot score all frogs so you have to pick which ones to focus on. Another Holek gem.
Finally got a 3-player game of Revive to the table today. Still one of my all-time favorite engine builders—so many meaningful decisions, tight competition, and a different puzzle every game. It just keeps getting better with each play. #boardgames #Revive
Two brand new Math Medic style EFFL lessons for Experimental Design and Linear Regression using Hues and Clues! Link in bio!
Drawing Dead, most recent delivery from SGOTM for me. Man this was a fun one. Played on "peaceful" so the easiest mode and barely won! Was on my infernal side and down to my last 3 health but was able to get a leveled up full house for the W!
Finished our AP Stats final Projects and they went very well! Now I have been tasked to build a board game collection for the school and I'm going to develop curriculum implementing board games the whole year!
4 player Caverna and for me, I have zero need to ever play Agricola again. So much better. Still tense and right but way less punishing
This game is awesomely addicting.... Comes with 7 scenarios and then 6 more advanced play scenarios that change up the puzzle. Such a fun little solo puzzle. Already played 6 times Awaken The Ancients
Discovered a nice artifact, unfortunately became crippled, had 4 enemies I couldn't shake, had a spoiled brat princess I'm my castle, but overall a decently prosperous kingdom I think? Final Kingdom Score: 168 Kingdom Legacy
