I have eaten sesame seeds, and used sesame oil, but I’ve never actually seen a sesame, let alone opened one.

Added some Mordillo cards to the heap, but made sure the Musk Ox remains on top. Always.

Playing Agricola online and felt compelled to open up the “real” set. One of a kind…

The second game that we attempted was Regicide, also from New Zealand. We even got to the first King in the third attempt before the inevitable occurred.

Crazy 49-49 tie in our Agricola rematch that was also tied on tiebreaker. Raphael had a crazy Freshman/Bread Paddle combo that let him play an occupation for free instead of taking the bake bread option but then that triggered the Bread Paddle allowing him to actually bake bread! It did distract him a bit allowing me to catch up.

Been really enjoying playing Agricola again with old friends, this time on BGA. In the latest game I drew a weird set of occupations and for most of the game was a recluse hiding in my den spreading slurry on my vegetable patch and trying to keep up. In the end, I was only three points adrift and it was all terribly close with only four points separating all three players.

Trying to learn Flesh and Blood. The ninja was easy to play but second attempt with Illusionist met with crushing fail. Interesting TCG. As always you have to study the game to figure out best ways to play.

Pub cat tried to learn too.

Hello Eurostar, my old friend. I’ve come to travel with you again.

A bit of discovering and a bit of exploring. Jack won at the former while I excelled at the latter.

Scored 49 points again in Agricola using a beefed up Day Labourer but it wasn’t good enough as Raphael had a baking combo that kept him fed and gave him free actions to sneak past me to 52.

Mastodon Hive Mind. I want to get a battery powered “Security" camera, with night vision, to try and detect what creature(s) have invaded our loft.

I don’t need advanced features, such as human detection etc, or cloud sync.

Any recommendations, there are positively bazillions on Amazon with unrecognised brands.

Fiddling around with throwing virtual cards into a heap with mostly unsatisfactory results. Looking for inspiration from @zimpenfish

@llamasoft_ox @zimpenfish Musk Ox priority! It’s actually shuffling 3 copies of each card into the stack so it’s likely to end up with odd repeats. The RNG is a bit rubbish
