Happy Friday! Looking for a new nature-themed #BoardGame to add to your collection? Enjoy engine building or creating the perfect card tableau?
If so, #Earth might be right for you! Check out my 4 minute video to see what it's all about. And even though it concentrated on the #solo mode, multiplayer fans can still see the #game in action!
Any #solo #BoardGame enjoyers out there want to know about the solo variant for #Earth?
If so, do I have some videos for you! If you have little to no clue what Earth is, check out this little 4 minute video first:
If you need a more in depth explanation of how the solo variant works, check out the full How To Play video here:
I made a few stops on my road trip to a funeral, visiting two fantastic #boardgame stores and picking up some small treats to divert myself...all while reflecting on a joyous, inspiring life well lived.

23rd times lucky I guess. After so many plays I finally win at the hybrid #eurogame / #wargame #boardgame Wings For The Baron. Design and market aircraft in WW1 Germany. The winner has the highest amount of gold and paper money. Inflation will erode the worth of paper money as the game progresses.
The main game for the #socalwargamers gathering at Geeky Teas in Burbank was the classic CDG Napoleonic Wars. The less said about that the better as Nappy landed and conquered Britain in turn 1. 
Happy birthday to #MichaelNyman, #botd in 1944!
An author of a book "Experimental Music: Cage and Beyond", very much into distinguishing between #experimentalMusic and the #avantgarde. ;)
I got a few #BoardGame plays in tonight.
First, the first game to hit 12 plays this year in my 12x12 is #Earth. No surprise there as since I picked it up earlier in the year, it's been a constant at the table.
Then, Linds and I played #ScholarsOfTheSouthTigris for the 4th time this year. I think it finally clicked for her bc she beat me pretty bad.

#A8PicoCart casing is printing now. I overcame my distaste and soldered the Pico directly to the PCB (I would so, so much rather socket this but I don't think there's room inside the cartridge case.
T minus 105 minutes, approximately.
Played a new #boardgame last night, called Project L, and was sent home with it (it was a second copy). So I guess I'll need to #3dprint an insert for that as well (oh, darn).
Now I just need some #coffee
Good morning!
#today
2nd win out of 3 plays for Horizons of #SpiritIsland
Anyone want to educate me on the expansions and if any are must buys now that the #game is starting to click?
We gave @nicholas “#MontyPython Fluxx”. It’s basically regular Fluxx but with Python themes. It’s funny.
Thanks to the “I want to sing,” card we are also singing some Monty python song each turn.
Won a 2-handed #solo #game of Horizons of #SpiritIsland last night.
I dont think I would have pulled it off if it weren't for Eyes Watch From Trees. That spirit is great at running through the fear deck. My other spirit was Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot which was really strong when there were enemies at its site, but it wasn't very mobile.
It’s #boardgame weekend with @ejones and @steggy. Today’s first game is #Wyrmspan, which is a #dragon themed #wingspan. Same game makers and many of the same mechanics.

Hell yeah, #Dustrunners, the expansion to #Dustrunner, showed up today!
Test-driving a #BoardGame at the #TTRPG convention. This should be a required figure for any game played in #Toronto.
R's boyfriend came over last night, necessitating a quick trip to the grocery store to buy more burgers. But I didn't engage with him when he asked about the #boardgame I had set up at the dining room table (Vagrantsong). He also asked about my ROG Ally. He's a gamer, so he was interested in the Windows handheld. But I wasn't feeling very interactive, so I didn't elaborate, which made me feel bad. Hopefully, I can make it up to him soon.
I also wanted to include YT video links on recent updates or for #BoardGames I've gotten back to the table recently, since I sometimes do videos for #games I do not write about. Links are for the BURST versions, all lasting between 2 and 4 minutes.

Another recurring idea for a #musicGame is to separate playing music and doing in-game moves. You basically join the music when it's not your turn.
The game may have any turn-based mechanics, but its #tabletop representation should yield itself well to musical interpretation.
This is a design area with hopes for great complexity, some #eurogame-adjacent potential. But arguably, musical #improvisation may cover any #boardgame...
