@wifeofkhan.bsky.social I can't directly reply to your post, so sending this. Star Trek: Captain's Chair looks great, but it's only for 1 or 2 players. ISS Vanguard is worth a look because, though it's not Star Trek, it's co-op (1-4) and does space exploration well. I also kinda stan Khan (La'An)! ๐
'ello! Do you have a friend code?
Actually, you'd have to check if parcels are being sent to the US because apparently lots of countries aren't currently doing that.
Not if they were delivered to me and I decided I didn't want them after opening and gifted them to you. *shrugs*
Would it be cheaper to ship the package to the UK then ship from the UK to the US?
I got Helldivers 2 for the ol' Xbox, but I haven't played it yet. You did this, Calvin. Peer pressure strikes again.

Pirate artifacts? I'm going to need details.
I really like the Thunderbirds game; not counting Legacy S1, it's my second favourite "Pandemic" game after Iberia. Also, I really need to get Blood Bowl: Team Manager to the table - fancy popping over to Scotland for a game? By the way, it's the Z from Z-Man (now Play to Z) but not Z-Man.
Happy Anniversary to two of my favourite people!
Painful stuff.
Oh no!
I love Raiders and even have the fancy big box (but, don't worry, I'm still Jenny from the block!) I have only played with the expansions once (played with both) and I found them interesting. Fields of Fame is my favourite, because the Jarl cards are cool.
The card art looks soooooo pretty!

Gaming can be an escape for players. Does that mean certain themes are off limits? ๐ค Tory Brown (@downtowntbrown.bsky.social) of Votes for Women (@fortcircle.bsky.social) doesn't think so. She balances harsh realities with inspiring messages ๐ช Listen here! www.podbean.com/ew/pb-tfxsv-...
When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.
Neither. Both can be art, but neither is intrinsically art.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same th-" No, it really isn't.
What games did you play/buy at GenCon? :) I'm at a small con over here (across the pond) this weekend.
I knew a guy like that. He sucked the joy out of everything at the best of times and forced his poisonous opinions on people at the worst. Fortunately, I ran that group so I let him know he wasn't welcome.
Let me know if you want to play it on BGA!
I loooove it! The expansion is also great. Have you played Revive?
It's possible I'll be the one giving you the demo!
My board game plays in July. Check the alt txt for my current ratings.

Ah that's lovely news. metro.co.uk/2025/08/06/m...
I'll have to check this out. It sounds interesting.
It's a great game with a lovely amount of chaos. I have owned the expansion for a while, but haven't played with it yet.
What's your name on BGA?
Soon, I hope. :) Just let me know what works for you and I'll be on it.
My gif skills are strong. ๐ช
I really can't see how anyone could possibly hate you. Also, we're long overdue for a proper catch-up!
Apart from a few games that don't display the images (Castle Combo is one) BGA works well on phones, so it should be fine on your laptop. :)
Let me know if you fancy beating me at Harmonies on BGA. ๐
Real-time, particularly when it involves grabbing things before other people.
It's close between Concordia and A Feast for Odin. In Concordia, I keep trying the same strategy (Mars) and, while I know it's incredibly difficult to win by focusing on one thing, I'll keep trying! In A Feast for Odin, I'm happy to just bounce around and pretty much ignore points. ๐
Don't.
I hope you have a nice time and you create some new memories.
Hold on, for real? ๐ฎ
This makes me think of Life is Strange, which is a very good thing.
I was just about to say those two.
Today's front page ๐ฐ Convicted US felon to arrive in Scotland Our front page has caused a stir online, prompting anger from Donald Trump's supporters. So, we want to ask: which part is factually inaccurate? ๐ค
Pick better heroes.
Emotionally stunted man-babies with no hint of personality beyond being toxic as fuck. I'll have more of that "not cinema" stuff, thanks.
I really want to try this! Also, you just reminded me that I have Vampire: The Masquerade - Chapters sitting unplayed! ๐ง
I have faith in you, Sen. You'll conquer that elusive "lemonade stand" design eventually.
I bought this several months ago, but I haven't managed to get it played yet. I should fix that soon.

I'm playing through the first game at the moment and have really enjoyed it! :)
I just checked Facebook memories and it said we've been friends for 10 years. Time is utter nonsense.
I wasn't sure where to wish you a Happy Birthday!
It definitely matters if you get paid.
If you see this, quote with a time travel movie that's not BACK TO THE FUTURE.
That "even" though. ๐ Yeah, the same people who "don't have a side", but coincidentally do absolutely nothing to oppose the right, have decided to show their true colours.
Wordsy, Hooky, Halloween, Rear Window, Picture Perfect, The Bloody Inn, and Paperback Adventures are some games that spring to mind.
I hadn't heard of this before, but it looks interesting! I'll have to check it out if I have the chance.
I keep hearing good things and really need to give this a go.

Have you seen Perfect Blue? It has a similar style to Paprika.

I really like this.
Do you feel the same about someone having read and enjoyed a book? If player/reader input is the main differentiator, couldn't a reader praise their own imagination for how they interpreted the text?
Iโm petrified about todayโs science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

Ooooh, that looks interesting!

You know, I completely ignored this game because the name made it seem like cheesy, low-budget horror channel fodder. Now I feel silly, because it looks pretty good. I'll have to check it out.
Depression makes good things bad and bad things worse. It's awful. Hiding doesn't help, because you can't hide from yourself. Trying to push through doesn't help, because you're exhausted so everything you attempt is lacking. So you brace yourself and hope to make it through without too much damage.
Put an end to THIS! (Also, check out the auto-generated alt txt on this gif.)

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.
I haven't, I'll have to check it out!
Concordia and Obsession are two of my favourites.
Galactic Cruise looks so good! If it wasn't as pricey, I don't think I could resist grabbing a copy. One day, probably.
It's been so long since I played Dungeon Lords. I really need to get it back to the table for some "legally distinct from Dungeon Keeper" fun times.
I have been playing My City on BGA. I'm enjoying it, but I'm soooo baaaaad!
I really want to try Galactic Cruise. It looks like a big sweet shop of possibilities!
Huh, I hadn't heard of Street Masters before. I'm guessing it's like the Streets of Rage videogame. I'll hopefully be able to try Come Sail Away! at some point.
I tried Pagan on BGA and didn't have a clue what was going on. My fault for winging it, I know, and I really should give it another go.
My copy of Brass Birmingham has been sitting there, still sealed, since Xmas. Taunting me, which is no less than I deserve.
For Northwood! is so cute! ๐
That looks really pretty!
I really like RoboTrick but I have found it hard to get to the table due to it being 3-player only. The good thing is, it'll be my go-to when I have exactly three players!
I have enjoyed my plays of Botanik on BGA, even though I have a major slip up at least once every game. ๐
A lot of good games in there! I would like to try Outer Rim and I'll hopefully try Ark Nova on BGA at some point.
I hoped to get a demo of Deep Regrets at UKGE, but the table was full every time I went over! I love the art and the vibe, so it's definitely something I want to check out. Will I buy before I try? Almost a certainty for me.
