This week a set of ButtonShy games arrived and I couldn’t be happier with their quality, they really put my print and play versions into retirement!
Coincidentally my copy of Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood arrived the day after, two polar opposites!
Tried out the solo mode of Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition for the first time, had an exciting finish as I had to sell my entire hand to purchase the last 3 oceans on the final turn! Playing on a bed is really messy but doable with this game.
Just got a second-hand copy of Race for the Galaxy and despite what I had heard about the learning curve, it turned out to be a lot of fun! This how-to video really helped with learning while being entertaining https://youtu.be/YoZSPFMHaIY?si=0dyRk4goYdlvICvs
He’s also just completed Legacy of Yu, which he says is his favourite solo game so far with Hadrian’s Wall in second place.
