> [@KIR2](#): > > For me, it’s the bog standard euro done right. Nothing’s amazing about it, but for move your meeple, do the action, it’s crunchy and satisfying. I think Matt has said similar things on the podcast before, but I don’t always want a crazy innovative game that subverts the genre with its unique mechanisms. Sometimes I just want a game that does the standard things well for a nicely satisfying time, even if there’s no real WOW factor. The game does a lot for what is essentially ‘repeatedly go around a one-way rondel’. This is pretty much why I like Teotihuacan. It’s smooth. Doesn’t try and reinvent the wheel but the wheel is really well crafted. The race nature of all the bits keeps it interactive enough without it being too cutthroat. And like you say even in the base game the technologies out and the order of the tiles changes things up enough each time to stop it feeling always rote. Marvellous game. ---

Sorry, yes, Cryptid. Really enjoyed it. And I didn’t screw up once. Didn’t win either, but still really enjoyed it. Minesweeper has nothing on this, if only it wasn’t so easy for everyone else that has played it before to tell my rule… ---

Hiding your rule is the hardest and most interesting _second level_ of strategy ---

Did you play with scenarios that had negated rules? In our circle that usually breaks a few people. @pillbox misleading others about your own rule is fun but sooo hard ---

I think once the animal territory caught out somebody once, and two of the players had not slept well the night before. We still had a good laugh with the f…k ups. We had a raffle with **Love Letter** and two copies and **Hey, that’s my fish** where people that played the games could put their names in the box and get a copy at the end of the day. My 8 yo daughter won **Love Letter** newest version. Technically, I didn’t buy it or won it myself, but now we have the old version on offer. I must admit I would have rather have her win the penguin game instead, but all considered, it is a bit of a faff to set up, and we know she likes LL, so I will not complain. ---

I can imagine a person learning some kind of sleight of hand trick for setting up **Hey, that’s my fish** in a few seconds with a few rapids sweeps of their hands, and being the most popular person at games night : ) The game is awesome; but the set-up really is more hassle than it ought to be for such quick light gameplay. - [Probably the next best thing to that](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/4360516/hey-s-my-fish) - [Even slower set-up, but I love that this exists](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/4644420/hey-s-my-fish) - [The version I have](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/1133611/hey-s-my-fish) ---

Meanwhile, the only package I’m currently waiting on delivery for apparently departed a Tokyo airport on April 30th, a mere 18 days after the previous update on the 12th when it departed that same airport. ---

Ouch, that sounds like it fell out of the plane at least once. I should really try to not back Kickstarters from Japan. Although so far my quota is 2 for 2 delivered and the third one will likely deliver later this year. ---

**Micromacro Crime City** , because it looked like something a bit different. And I played the demo level online and thought it was fun (although I couldnt finish it, that might be a bad omen). And **Durian** , one of the newer Oink games, of which I have a few, and generally enjoy them. Deep Sea Adventure and Fake Artist are two favourites. ---

And as Durian (the game) apparently involves an Angry Gorilla… This auto-tuned song is dedicated to anyone who recognises it (and 100% ignorable by everyone else!) > [@](#): > > what’s this? a single tear that is wet that I shed > when an angry gorilla cries > who’s going to be there to dry his eyes? > and when an angry gorilla’s depressed > who’s going to heal him with a soft caress? > ooh ooh ah ah the tears are rolling down my cheeks > ooh ooh ah liquid sorrow that my eyes excrete > I’m not a soldier, but a soldier’s got feelings > I don’t know who to lend my anger to > that’s why I’m crestfallen and confused ---

Loving the Ikea chair at the back. Gosh, I miss Ikea. Who would have thought. On the other hand, my copy of **Firefly** arrived yesterday from Australia. Plus the Artful Dodger expansion, which left the flat box and lives in the main one. I realized I ran out of baggies, so I did not punch the cardboard components. Guess where I am going today on lunch break…? ---
