This is pretty much why I like Teotihuacan. Itā€™s smooth. Doesnā€™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 didnā€™t screw up once. Didnā€™t win either, but still really enjoyed it. Minesweeper has nothing on this, if only it wasnā€™t so easy for everyone else that has played it before to tell my ruleā€¦

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 fā€¦k ups.

We had a raffle with Love Letter and two copies and Hey, thatā€™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 didnā€™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, thatā€™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.

Meanwhile, the only package Iā€™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.

My partner likes durian!

Is it legal to play it in public places, though?

And as Durian (the game) apparently involves an Angry Gorillaā€¦

This auto-tuned song is dedicated to anyone who recognises it (and 100% ignorable by everyone else!)

My attempt to teach my partner the game in 5 minutes at the end of our lunchbreak.

I love the box. It is ā€¦ flat.

Also randomly threw a newly arrived Kickstarter there.

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 breakā€¦?

Your local dealer?

ā€œNo I donā€™t want the powder in the bag. That just gets the components covered in white!ā€
