First game night in 3 weeks. Catan Junior (little one won by cheating ☺) , Codenames, Resistance: Avalon (lost by Merlin assassination, as usual), and Louis XIV (RΓΌdiger Dorn , Alea, 2005 β€” dry but good). No pics, but it did happen.

Welcome to Centerville (GMT). Yeah, probably too long β€” but also easy, a bit mean, point-saladΚΌy, with a pleasant city building/political theme. Works with beer and pretzels.

Online for 11 days now: 180 games currently being played, 1003 total. My online board game implementation of Martin WallaceΚΌs P.I. on BGA en.boardgamearena.com/#!gamepa 😁 πŸ•΅οΈ

I've started liking the term "Boxed Game" over "Board Game". It's more suggestive of the Russian Doll ergonomics of them. I wish we had more games that explore this nature. Escape Room and Legacy games really push it. I think the undressing is even now... still overlooked. twitter.com/e3kmouse/status/99

Looking for a #FLOSS tool to create a simple grid out of hexagons inside hexagons. Need to be able to quickly/easily rearrange or resize multiple tiles and/or color-code them and/or fill them with a texture - for a #tabletoprpg #prototype test board

Suggestions?

Played two modern classics, San Juan and La Granja, tonight. Both pretty tight 2p matches. No pics (so, did it happen?).

Santa Maria and Azul at today's Pegasus game day. Both super dry and thinky. I feel I need to throw some dice at Cthulhu now...

hm, just noticed that sometimes image attachments are embedded using the .../original/... URL, sometimes .../small/... β€” how does this work? Why sometimes the one, other times the other? Client dependent? Image size? Original, of course, looks much better.

Mastodon admins/devs: can the image size and/or quality (compression) of the previews be increased? On the profile pages (e.g. boardgames.social/@fabian) images look really crappy. The /small/ thumbs are too small, imho.

I like how BoardGameGeek, on its market overview pages, rounds BS prices like €39.95 to the next full Euro: €40. πŸ‘

Someone made a quick video on How to Play P. I. using my implementation. Exciting! πŸ•΅οΈ

Totally noobed it in last nightΚΌs Clans of Caledonia. Trying to do a 4 bread contract in round 2 with no grain… In the end I finished not too far behind for my almost-no-contracts β€œstrategy”, but still. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

On the table again after 1.5y: Scythe (5p). With only 2 achievements the Rusviet faction still (surprisingly) won. Very close: 50 to 47 to 47 to 4x. Also: New Bedford (3p). Balance discussions on the former (as usual), "okay" reactions on the latter πŸ™„ 🐳 πŸ€–

Exporting whisky πŸ₯ƒ and beer 🍻 in today's game night. Clans of Caledonia. 3p. 177 VP. Good one! 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
