Happy Monday to you. I hope you have had a nice weekend ☺️
Today Sharyn and I had a catch up with the lovely Gina and Chris who are our local gaming mates ☺️ I introduced them to Planted and Lacuna and they enjoyed both YAY! 🎊
Planted is such a breeze to teach and really fun and I always get the feeling like I want it to hit the table more and Lacuna is so fast, a bit thinky but in such a chill way like A Gentle Rain but equally if not more stunning, I mean the gold and silver pawns cmon!!! 😀 It was nice to hang out and enjoy yummy food, chat away and game together.
Sharyn and I live rural so gaming isn’t always the easy for us so it’s really lovely to have people over and have some in person gaming 😍
I’ve also included a pic of our first play of Let’s Go To Japan, a nice light - ish game and another play of Raising Robots… I’m really loving this game and these are some examples of the adorable robots, every single one is so epic!

Happy Saturday to you all 😀
First play of French Quarter. I liked it! ☺️
Let’s start with the rulebook, thank goodness it’s a big improvement on Motor City, I absolutely love the examples throughout 😀
The gameplay is really cool, I got the feeling of the other 3 in the series in how you unlock things in combinations and have star tracks or umbrellas in this case. Very cool to be reminded of some of the streets in NOLA and the activities there, it’s got a slight Seven Bridges stroll and write feel going as well. There’s a nice mix of fresh ways mechanics are used, familiar but unique and a great thematic tie with what you are doing.
I look forward to more plays of this one, what a great addition to the series. If you havn’t tried them, I think they are all good if not great! 👍🏽 😀

Today I tried out Raising Robots. Did I choose the first few robots to come out?… of course I did but in my defense they have my name on them and then the Vapor robot … I can’t even! 🥰😂
First off, this game is so beautifully illustrated, I took the time to look through all the characters and robots and had such a giggle with some of them! I’m just blown away actually by all the fun characters, they are brilliant. Right behind the adorable robots is an awesome engine building game with a very good rule book. So yeah, my first impressions are that I really like it!
I was initially thinking, this is a bit like Wingspan because there are 3 card rows of 5 per row and yes they activate like Wingspan and yes you need more resources to play robots after the first column. This is where the similarities end as the game beats to its very own drum.
Each round you can choose 2 actions you take but then other players or the solo opponent may also choose other actions which means you get your take them as well.
This reminds me, another thing I love in games is when someone does an action and you can benefit. I much prefer this to games where you are mean to opponents.
I’m really glad I included this one on my 12x12 and I look forward to more plays and hopefully improving my score from just above average ☺️🙏🏽

Today marks 6 years of having this Instagram account ☺️
Wow, has the time flown by! I look back and think about all the wonderful people I’ve connected with and some who are now in real life friends, the fun creative challenges, mega Railroad Ink games, a banana group and much more.
I’m so grateful to have started this Instagram, I’d say it has in ways inspired me to be more creative and sent me in the direction of designing games and curating a lovely collection of boardgames ☺️🙏🏽
What started as just a place for me to carry on about both boardgames and video games has truly surprised me. The best being for sure the connections as mentioned, I just can’t fathom how I know such cool creative people dotted all over the planet.
Thanks so much to all of you who inspire me, who have enjoyed my content, who have included me in challenges and various celebrations. You all rock!

Today is a light rainy day, so it’s a good thing my main plan is boardgames 🙏🏽 I enjoyed my first solo of Dadaocheng, a beautiful game about the Taiwanese Tea Markets. I did terrible but also not sure if I’m playing correct, I think in fact, my score potentially may be even lower than low 😂😂😂 … time to watch a video on it ☺️
The past few days I’ve also enjoyed some other games including: Several games on BGA with varying friends but I also enjoy joining tables with strangers on games I love, Floor Plan ( not pictured ), Under Falling Skies ( also not pictured ), Loco Momo, Redwood and Super Mega Lucky Box. It was so nice to have friends over to have a catch up and game especially as one of them enjoys Bingo ☺️
I was also pleasantly surprised by Redwood, firstly it’s a mammoth box 😲.. it’s such a beautiful game and is a nice lighter medium gameplay. The crux of it is guessing distances for setting up the most beautiful nature photography. I was so far off every time I thought I’d capture so many things but I can’t wait to figure out how to improve! ☺️
