Visited the excellent Dernier Rempart while in Antibes last week. A really great selection of games but limited suitcase space meant I could only pick up something small. ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ is a fun little roll & write with some neat spacial planning.
Last day before holiday means printing off prototypes and pnp games to play while I’m away 🖨️
Played #Waypoints by @rorymuldoon and #MatthewDunstan on 2023-07-16 with @Suzan, winning score: 155 vs 154, so close!! #bgstats #boardgames #Brettspiele
I enjoyed The Witcher Old World a lot more than I thought I would. I generally don’t like long games (and boy is it long) but other players reading quests and the PVP elements made me feel engaged even when it wasn’t my turn.

I’ve played 6 games of War of the Ring: the Card Game, and been on the losing team every time.

But! I love it. It’s the best game I’ve played this year hands down.

Feeling very inspired by my trip to Stonehenge yesterday. I’ve tried a few times to design a stone circles game but it’s never had the right gravitas.
I know a comic has got its hooks into me when I start thinking about how it could be adapted into a game.

So there's this idea that has been bouncing around in my head for ages, then solidified somewhat thanks to a discussion with @rorymuldoon a while back. I've finally got it to a physical state (I've decided to make a change from my pattern of the last couple of years and go "physical first") that is actually playable. WINNING!

Now, however, I find that my brain is refusing to let me play it solo. Nuts!
