We are in the middle of moving to a new city but we managed to still squeeze in some sessions with our current group.
We played Terraforming Mars for one last time as a 4 player game. Its a bit cursed because I lost once again with a single point. We almost managed to cover the entire planet with structures. Very fun session.
We also played a 2 player session of Ark Nova - I lost that game but honestly this was good because otherwise my gf just hates the game and we would play it less.
We also played another 4 player of Burgundy which was our final game with that group.
Now looking for new players in Barcelona;)
We were on holiday this week, so had to pack quite light.
We played a single game of 6-player In Vino Morte as we waited for food. This game is still insanely easy to bring to any table and is guaranteed fun for 10 minutes at a time!
We also took along River Wild, another Button Shy game. This was a great brain-burner to play with my morning coffee, even if I didn’t so particularly well at all!
My partner’s parents brought along Greed, a push-your-luck dice game from the 80s. Whilst it felt like it did drag on a bit long, there were some interesting rolls that kept things interesting! Probably liked this more than I should have purely because I won!
And finally, we cracked out the deck of cards to play Sevens. A simple staple, not too much to say here!
I went to a gaming convention so I played quite a few games:
- Bad Company - light, fast, and fun
- Concordia - awesome game
- Amerigo
- At the Gates of Loyang
- Union Stockyards
- Port Royal
- Trekking Through History - excellent game
- Nova Roma - excellent Euro, releasing in one month, was taught by the designer
- Marrakesh
- Gugong - wasn’t a big fan
I am still on a boardgame weekend, but so far I have played this week Root twice. I have never seen the board so dominated by the Lizard Cult. Followed by the Riverfolk. Both players played Root the first time and played each faction really well. The Riverfolk was the perfect car(d) dealer from the start.
Treehouse Diner: cute but one bad decision killed the game for me 🥲
Bitoku: still a cool Game
Temple of Secrets

Played two on Saturday:
Beyond the Sun - I enjoyed this one. The game turned into a run away for one of the players who had pushed hard down the science track. I learned some lessons too latr, but that’s to be expected in the first play.
Dead Men Tell No Tales - I really liked this one, but I’m a sucker for cooperative games where you’re just trying to stem the tide of misery. It was the first play for everyone, so strategies started to unfold but a little too late, we lost with two treasures right beside each other left to collect.
