Just published a little something different on the blog today, not a review, just my story.

How I went from La Bonne Paye on the living room floor to 400+ games and 1,000+ plays. The games that started it all and the one game that made me stop and stare before I even opened the box.

If you've ever wondered how someone ends up this deep in the hobby… this one's for you.

What was the game that got YOU hooked? I'd love to know!

My Board Game Journey

Hello everyone!\nToday I want to do something a little different. No review, no game breakdown, just a story. My story. How a Portuguese girl went from Monopoly on the living room floor to owning over 400 games and logging more than 1,000 plays.\nIt Started Long Before I Knew It Like many of us, my journey started without me even realising it. When I was young, games were simply part of life. I remember playing Les Mystères de Pékin (The Mysteries of Peking) and Monopoly with friends, and at home we spent many evenings around La Bonne Paye (Payday), a memory I cherish dearly, mostly because my dad always insisted on being the banker… and we quickly learned we had to keep a very close eye on him, as money had a mysterious tendency to migrate from the bank to his own pile 😅\n

Dieses Jahr gibt es Urlaub (mit dem eigenen Auto) nach #frankreich um genau zu sein, Süd Frankreich in der Nähe von #perpignan auf einen schönen #campingplatz #lebrasilia
Mit dem eigegen Auto, weil wir ein wenig die Gegend erkunden wollen, unter anderem #carcassonne da freue ich mich besonders drauf, denn das #brettspiel haben wir damals immer mit den #kindern gespielt ! Ich freue mich drauf, ende Juni geht's schon los und dann 3 Wochen ...

Just finished my first game of Outlive with the Underwater expansion, and I am not disappointed!

Loved the constant tension and those brutal choices where every decision feels critical.

Pretty proud of myself for a first play, I don't think I made any major mistakes, and I squeaked out a win: 41 to 39 😅

Have you played it? What do you think?

Gestern war bei mir mal ein weiteres Spiel aus der Ecke "Terra Mystika" dran gewesen: Projekt Gaia.

Sehr lang und komplex, aber ich fand es sehr vielfältig mit vielen Möglichkeiten und vor allem ohne lange Pausen. Ich empfand das Spiel zwar als lang, aber dennoch "schnell".

I played Viticulture solo, against the Automa, and I totally get why this game is a classic.

Beautifully crafted, satisfying to play, and that worker placement tension between summer and winter never gets old. Loved every minute of it.
