Bargello designs are built from vertical stitches, laid in sequence so that colours rise and fall, creating flowing waves, shifting flames, or soft gradients that almost seem to move across the fabric. Used in ornate upholstery in 17th-century Italy and applied to chairs and other furniture, these patterns require precision and concentration. Even a single misplaced stitch will completely break the rhythm. As a highly-skilled embroiderer, it is up to you to make sure your needle is correctly Threaded: A Game of Needles and Points by Ellie Dix from @ospreygames with art by Maria Surducan.

The inner courtyard goes completely quiet as dusk falls. Lantern light flickers softly against white walls and dark timbers. Servants move soundlessly like a gentle breeze, tending to gravel paths and manicured trees. Deeper inside the fortress, careful whispers of politics and ambition drift through the great halls. Everything feels deliberate, and every offering is carefully chosen to seek favour in a world where position is everything. Beneath that calm surface lies quiet competition, subtle manoeuvring, and the constant need to prove one's own worth within The White Castle by Isra C.and Shei S. from @devirgames with art by Joan Guardiet.

I played a 2h #solo #game of #WondrousCreatures to learn it. Lots of fun. I like that the #WorkerPlacement aspect is a different take on the regular mechanic. Next time I will play the proper solo version.

Neuland

Ein Spiel mit Wikinger-Thema? Kommt eher nicht so häufig vor, ist unverbraucht und klingt immer spannend. Erobern, plündern, ausbreiten und beherrschen – klingt alles nicht gerade kooperativ, aber so soll Neuland ja auch nicht sein. Wir betreten eine neue Insel und wollen

Mein Mann findet tatsächlich langsam Gefallen an #AufDenSpurenDesMarcoPolo - eines meiner Lieblingsspiele. 😀

Ich hab gestern auch zum ersten Mal gegen ihn gewonnen 😂

Google Photos reminded me that the last time I played Lords of Waterdeep was 7 years ago. Now that's a long time, but not longer than the last time I played Catan.

Anyway, I still consider Lords of Waterdeep a very good worker placement, and I always enjoyed it, but I have other games with themes that interest me more, such as Viticulture or Uwe Rosenberg's games. It's simple and quite fun. Better get it back on the table.
