Steve and I are camping in our van on what will likely be the coldest night of the year, in the mountains after we had a great day hiking in snow and visiting hot springs. We're playing Eyelet as we cuddle under a blanket on the bench.

It's a two player threading game by Amabel Holland. It's a solid table-less game that's simple and very, do what you can with what you have. Perfect after a long day of work, hikes, and hot springs.

Steve and i did another board game collection evaluation to get back to "everything on a shelf." We've got about 15 titles that'll be looking for new homes, but in the shuffle we finally played this little gem we got from SPIEL. One Card Dungeon from Little Rocket Games.

Designed by Barny Skinner, this little game surprised us in being an interesting rogue-like experience that succeeds with only one card... And 12 dice. But it was a delightful solo game to co-op play during dinner.

I'm not sure if this group is here, but let's see. I'm really passionate about #sustainabiity in #games, specifically #tabletop. So I've worked with some experts from around the world to make a document. Looking for first draft readers :)

Professionals in gaming or sustainability for now, sorry folks. But you can sign up for the mailing list at greengamesguide.com when we go live.

Steve found and printed off a print and play version of the oldest known board game with rules, The Royal Game of Ur. It's a two player roll and move and we are getting mean with each other.

We're playing the British Museum's version of the ruleset but with 5 pieces each instead of 7, for a shorter game. The earliest known board found dates back to 2600-2400 BC.

Been chipping away at our stack from SPIEL. Because I work during events, we don't really have a lot of time to demo things. I do research before the show and Steve does some during, but we still come home with stacks of unknowns.

We try to play games from shows quickly so we can get them new homes if they're not for us, while the selling is still good.
