Ah, the pleasure of turning a game around and winning unexpectedly. Yay! Boy doesn't know what hit him ;)
We tried 7 Wonders Duel Agora for the first time which has great additions, but makes the game significantly meaner. #boardgames

We played Whitehall today - a spontaneous buy from #Spiel19 - when we saw it my fiancé remembered a shut up and sit down episode about it and that it was good - price was only 15€ so we took it home with us. It's like a modernized Scotland Yard and it's awesome! We had a lot of fun chasing the murderer (fiancé) looking for clues etc. There were quite a few moments that were incredibly close and thrilling for both parties. Can recommend!

Long and exhausting day in Essen at #spiel19 - we took some new games home and some more onto our wishlist!
We got Wingspan with the European expansion, Just One, Team 3, Whitehall mystery and Konja was an extra in the wingspan bundle.

My brother visited and as a geographer and #citiesskylines player - he loves Suburbia! And we do too.
My Boyfriend managed to work himself down into debt so he couldn't really do anything the last 3-4 rounds - that never happened before. In the end, I won and for the first time, landed perfectly at the end of the score board.

Through the ages... Long term hit on boarsgamegeek... My friend had this for almost 10 years, played twice, never finished - always ran out of time.
We started Saturday at 12 - not our usual time ;) With us having to learn the rules, eat some waffles (yum) and a friend having to leave at 5:30 pm - we only managed like a third of the game....
Uff. So long.
It's not SUPER complicated, and it was fun so far, but it'll surely not be a fav for me. We will try again next week though! #boardgames

First game of Treasure Island - only two players to test it out. As suspected, it's not really a two player game. As a Pirate, seeing how other players react to clues and deduce from that is more fun. As Long John Silver who hid the treasure (me) you can bluff twice and the Boyfriend had little chance to figure out what was true and what wasn't. He ended up finding it in the end but the process was a bit frustrating for him. Looking forward to playing it with more players though!

The rare moment when a YouTube comment is actually helpful!
The Shut up an Sit Down Review of "Treasure Island" made me buy the game - although there was one big drawback with the #pens that almost won't show on the board you're supposed to draw on. Someone suggested chalk markers in the comments and it's a big improvement! Plus, chalk markers are pretty cool! #boardgames

A new Roll'n'write game in our collection - Calavera. In this Día de Muertos themed push your luck game you cross out the fields corresponding to the colored dice to make points. If you roll skulls, your opponents get to cross out fields too, but: there is a death zone, if you cross it you get less points or even lose points. To avoid that, you can "freeze" points by rolling 2 or 3 roses.
It's a quick, easy game but it's great fun to push others into the "death zone"  #boardgames

Thought I will probably lose this round of Isle of Skye until I found a ray of hope at the end and thought I might actually be able to pull off a close win. I went ahead when counting the points and started grinning - until the Boy dropped a shitload of money from his hands giving him extra points. The neighbors might think I am an abusive bitch for all the things I've yelled while the boys snickered in pleasure. Damn!
First play with the Journeyman expansion - adds a lot of depth!
