Ingenious for a whole £3 from a charity shop.
Looks complete, never played it but worth a punt for that money

It’s in the quite small set of Kniz designs that I actively enjoy.
Played it twice. It’s pretty good.
And Kate didn’t utterly destroy me, which is always good in any game, but especially a spatial puzzle
Bought Red Rising, so cheap, thought it would be worth a go. No idea of the IP, never read them.
So, I thought I’d buy the expansion for Sea Salt and Paper (even though I haven’t played it yet, I’m getting good vibes). And then I thought well, I can’t buy JUST that. So I had a browse, almost bought the new Tiny Epic Cthulhu, but I feel like I have Cthulhu and it’s ilk covered, between Arkham Horror The Card Game (which I haven’t even played yet), and several kgs of Cthulhu: Death May Die.
So, I bought Arcs.
For what it’s worth I usually teach SS&P with the expansion included and it doesn’t seem to confuse people.
I like the Sea Salt and Paper expansion, having not played with it yet. It comes in a little packet like a trading card booster pack, but made of paper! Lovely packaging
Just made an impulse buy of Dark Souls: the Card Game as it was discounted down to $16 and it’s one I remember seeing reviews and being interested in it. I initially thought God of War: the Card Game used similar mechanics, which is why I picked that up in the first place, but I was mistaken, so it’ll be good to try out the actual thing I wanted to play.
Received my copy of Panda Spin!
Poor Mr Chudyk. Can’t get a decent manual to save his life. Ralph Bruhn is listed as the proofreader and, being unfamiliar with that surname, I’m going to assume they misspelled it and he didn’t notice that, either.
Y’know, in hindsight, I think it was Bloodborne: the Card Game I was interested in. All these From Software games blend together.
Oh well, at least it was cheap. I’ll see how it is.
It’s pretty good! A pain in the butt to set up the first few times (the iconography isn’t super useful), but once you sort it and store it properly, it’s a legitimately neat little coop.
Tough, but not unforgiving. Clever. I don’t even like the video games (and I hated the board game… way too expensive and random), but the card game? Lovely little thing.
I do think Bloodborne the Card Game is also really sharp, but not fully co-op. But very good.
Picked up some Portland Game Collective titles while visiting Portland
Hoping to get them played over Christmas.
Celebrated Christmas early with my family. My grandmother, 90, consistently buys me A) sweaters B) boardgames from my Amazon wishlist.
This year I received a nice crew-neck sweater (jumper). And also two Ashes Red Rains expansions: The Siege of Lordswall, and The Blight of Neverset.
Happy to get more Red Rains content; unsure yet how I feel about the Phoenixborn- I feel like I already have a ton of them and these either share cards or need cards from other sets? I’m still trying to figure it all out.
These are expansions to an expansion to a reboot/refresh.
Had a look and see whats on ZATU. Bought Lynx from Play to Z and Tower Up.
I saw Rise & Fall from Philibert but it’s the retail version. So I’ll wait for ZATU for the KS edition ones.
I got a surprise voucher from my FLGS for volunteering at Airecon earlier this year, so I used it to buy Akropolis… and also bought Undaunted: Callisto, which was very much not covered by the voucher. I think the FLGS did okay out of it
Technically didn’t buy these, but Santa gave me Forest Shuffle and Cascadia this year!
Christmas haul includes Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-Earth, Star Wars: the Mandalorian Adventures, Star Wars the Deck building Game: Clone Wars edition, and Orleans: The Plague expansion.
My partner’s Gothspring got bought Split Stone Games’ “Mycelia”.
