End of May update. Was hoping to get one more thing played tonight, but opted to spend time with my wife instead. :slight_smile:

First time to the table (goal is 1 per month):
Jan - Thunder Road: Vendetta
Feb - Alien: Fate of the Nostromo, Dark Souls: the Card Game
Mar - Castle Panic
Apr - Unmatched Adventures: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
May - Moon Colony Bloodbath

Games to replay (twice) from 2025 challenge:
The Hobbit: There and Back Again
Hot Streak
Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-Earth
Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Jack the Ripper and West End Adventures
Fortune and Glory
Courtisans
DC Super Heroes United: Batman Hush
Legacy of Yu
Metal Gear Solid: the Board Game
Unmatched: The Witcher - Realms Fall
Unmatched: The Witcher - Steel and Silver
Fall of Rome

So that is another new game and three plays of last year’s new games. Doing pretty good!

Expo yes, but a non-gaming holiday before that, so not much played in May.

May felt like a particularly busy month, but I guess I did manage to get a fair number of games in… the two games of Dune Imperium were back to back, but I need to play it again sometime soon so I can compare Uprising to the Original more thoroughly. Regardless, neat game.

And of course the Twilight Imperium game was a joy. Just a pleasure every time I get it on the table.

Also managed to restart the Battletech campaign, with another game scheduled for June already!

In other news, managed to play a Brass Birmingham and a classic Dune game, both exceptional board games that I’m happy any time they hit the table.

No new games into the collection, and no playing of the games I haven’t played yet from the collection this month. I know I have a few new games on the way (Container is probably the one I’m most excited about), but finances have been tight so not spending nearly as much on recreation these days.

Have a fantastic June of gaming, everyone! I believe in all of you!

The only change to the 10x10 solo is 6 games of Sanctuary to complete the 10/10.

I spent the pre vacation May mostly playing comfort solos to deal with work.

Habitats is all on BGA during travel.
