Are you a fan of , but not sure if you need to pick up the expansion ?

@boardgamebreakdown definitely agree with your assessment! I think it would be too much for brand new players, but it’s a great expansion for people who love Ark Nova.

Second game done, and I finally won. with Oceania Expansion.

Having a hard deciding on next game. We either want to do with Marine Life expansion or with Bellfaire and Spirecrest. Any opinions?

Today is day for my wife and I. Every few months we schedule a Saturday for us to play and to put aside all of the normal weekend responsibilities. It's really sweet bc I know she doesn't really care to play but it's mostly for me.

Thinking we will play the following: , and . Also, hoping to teach her and possibly .

Finally got around to trying out the Marine World expansion for

It was a blast as I assumed considering how much I love this game. Drafting the new upgraded action cards is great and adds some variety between players. I also really enjoyed the Coral reef powers.

I squeaked out a win, 21 to 16 over Linds.

Shout out to my sis who got me the xpac for Christmas! You're the best!

@jerk 1: She defected to my side (lap) almost immediately after this picture! We lost.
2: I have no idea what she was staring at, the association board was on the other side.

jerk,

@Suzan She might should have taken a closer look at the other side in order to guarantee you both the win. But that's the nature of cats: Beautiful creatures, but not very reliable. 😍

I fell down a boardgame-learning rabbit hole and forgot to do my for .

  1. How-to-play and play through videos to help learn complicated games.

  2. Coming home to a roaring fire after a cold walk..

  3. Storm 1 this week missed us. Sorry students, if you wore your pajamas inside-out hoping for a snow day. We will wait to see what happens with Storm 2 on Wednesday, which promises to be a classic: snow, changing to ice, changing to rain.

I just played a few games of Ark Nova in solo on BoardGameArena. I haven't managed to win yet, but I think I'm getting used to how the actions work and I can start to see how it makes some kind of sense. No idea how it translates in a multiplayer game, but at least I shouldn't feel utterly lost (I have plans for the tabletop version Soon™ :) )

Yay for BGA, yay for solo modes.

Been prepping the house all day, messing up my nails (😭) and busy with questions and stuff, but now it’s time for Ark Nova!

Pretty cool end of the year graphic by

Surprised by Caper: Europe being top played but it'd probably because of all the BGA games of it I've played this year.

being at top doesn't surprise me though as it's been a hit all year long.

I am surprised at being sp high up on time spent since I just bought it a month ago but I've played it nonstop over that time and it is a longer game.

BG Stats 2023 Year Stats. Caper: Europe, Unai Rubio: 24; Ark Nova, Mathias Wigge: 22; Dice Hospital, Stan Kordonskiy, Mike Nudd: 17; Final Girl: Carnage at the Carnival, Evan Derrick, A. J. Porfirio: 13; Flamecraft, Manny Vega: 12;
