W. Eric Martin & lautapelimedia

"Viisitoista vuotta, kuusituhatta viestiä ja yhdet hyvästit". Näin päätti BoardGameGeekin uutiset -blogin pitkäaikainen kirjoittaja W. Eric Martin taipaleensa BoardGameGeekin palveluksessa. Jatkossa mies ylläpitää mm. päivittäisuutisia lautapelailun maailmasta tarjoavaa Board Game Beat -sivustoa osoitteessa https://www.wericmartin.com/, jonne myös www.boardgamebeat.com -osoite ohjaa. Erityisen ilahtunut olen sivuston julkaisumallista ja siitä miten toiminta rahoitetaan. Siitä […]

Today we have played #FitToPrint and I’m confident it’ll be a new regular family game. Youngest child got #Mycelia but we’ve not played it. We’ve just played a three hand parallel run of #UtopiaEngine which is a free #PrintAndPlay #RollAndWrite which eldest child likes (they won their game) but which didn’t engage me, even though I was doing fairly well up until I tried linking artefacts at the end.

Me and the 9 YO played #FitToPrint tonight. This was only her second time playing but she did almost it all by herself, except for a few reminders in the first round.

If you haven't seen the game, it's a "real time" tile laying game from the designer of Tiny Towns and the publisher of #Cascadia and #Calico

Here is a short video I put together if you want to see more!

The Washington Post seems to have forgotten it used to have a less restrictive profanity policy under Ben Bradlee #fittoprint

Why the #&@% are candidates swearing so much these days?

Kamala Harris does it. So does Donald Trump. In politics, profanity may be a short cut to trust and authenticity.

It's been a crap day for many reasons. But the UPS delivery truck just dropped off an amazing box of joy to brighten spirits.

Scenario 2 is breaking my soul. I've tried it three times today and lost every time. The second round is very difficult in that you vent put back any ad tiles that you flip. The third round sort of makes up for it as there are a lot of chances for points but I just can't crack this nut. Think I will take a break from #FitToPrint and move on to another #Thanksgiving #solo #BoardGame

Tried my hand at Scenario 2 of #solo #FitToPrint and sadly, I lost by a hand full of points. I grabbed entirely too many tiles on first two days and scored a ton of negative points. It's amazing how many fewer tiles you can fit on Friday compared to Sunday.
