The salty air filled our lungs as gulls circled above the quayside. The harbour was alive with excited voices and the clinking of coins. Ships came and went, their hulls heavy with stories of distant islands and dangerous encounters. Somewhere beyond the horizon lay our opportunity to make our fortune through trade, charm, or even force. As we stood at the edge of the dock, we mapped our routes as we were Islebound: Emerald Edition by Ryan Laukat from @redravengame with art by Ryan Laukat.

Played a couple rounds of #UnoNoMercy with my son. Wiped the floor with him. In the first run, I actually managed to win in something like three moves thanks to the new “get rid of all cards in one color” special card. In the second round, we played with a “mercy” of 40 instead of 25, but I happened to have a lot of +2/4/6/10 cards, so when he started attacking I managed to defend up to his +10, responding with my own +10.

Staring at the art in front of them, next to a number of words, the group was trying to figure out which noun fit the paintings best. Someone read out a single word and explained their theory. Suddenly, everyone wanted to share their own opinion, some confident, some cautious. I listened to what everyone had to say. Only I knew which word was the right answer. After all, I had chosen it, based on The Vibe by Jacob Jaskov from Uloomi.
