Does anyone else have one on their phone as well as another book physically so they can at all times?

I had already started "The Cartographers" physically but decided to start "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" on my app this morning.

Who would have thought the computer ran app would be any good at a logic deduction puzzle game? Red smoked me, 39 to 15. I think i need to just start throwing out theories bc if you don't keep up with the bot, not sure how you'll get enough points thru the game. Also, didn't help that I whiffed the chance to find Planet X at end but even if I did, I wouldn't have scored enough points.

One more back porch tonight since the weather is impeccable. This time, going back to which I haven't played in a few months. Much more a logic puzzle than a game but fun nonetheless.

This is it everyone, the night I finally beat Geppetto with Charlie. I'm on the back porch, with great weather, great music in my earbuds, and a Mnt Dew Melon Zero Sugar. If the stars aren't aligning tonight, I don't know if they ever will.

And.... I've already died. I will never beat this! Argh!

@golgaloth LOL, yeah I've heard stories. Will stay far, far away

Ok, so it wasn't the first time tonight but I reset and tried again and was victorious this time. Got lucky with the event having to do with terror traps and never seeing any. I used my focus cards to get 3 dice quickly, then just hammering him with the single knife i had picked up. You did good, Charlie. Only took you like 12 times to win, lol.

I got the chance to play another game of . Barely squeaked out a win, 51 to 49. If you want a peaceful and relaxing 30 minute play, definitely check this out.

Last spin of the morning. This time, getting a couple of 45s on the

Next 45 up on the is Diamante by . I'm assuming this was probably releases right before or in conjunction with their "comeback" album, Interalia.

I decided to get some of my 45's to the this morning. First up, the Canyons EP by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness.

Second solo game of the evening was and I got myself a win, 85 to 80. This has a super underrated mode to it that I wish got more love.

First of the evening was , but sadly, it was a loss. Hard to get used to how rapidly breaks come towards the end of this game. I ended up with a ton of money but nothing to do with it at end. Plus, getting all my workers out but getting ZERO bonuses from them because of the player mat I had, was detrimental.

@neildixon Thanks for this. I will definitely check this out. I'm not the greatest Ark Nova player, but it seems like depending on what cards are in play, it might be impossible to cross markers in the rounds allotted in the official solo mode.

Fortunate to have a bit of time tonight to myself as well as not too many responsibilities first thing in morning. About to see how many of my recent favorite I can sneak in before the old man in me tells me to go to bed.

@olivvybee lol well I did also get one game of Libertalia in, which was a win unlike Ark Nova.

Time for some cascadia. Playing the base game because its my sister's first try.

@boardgamebreakdown@mas.to avatar

@Katharina Is the expansion already out?

boardgamebreakdown,
@boardgamebreakdown@mas.to avatar

@Katharina OK, when you said you were playing the base game bc of your sister's first time, it made me think you also owned the expansion, and were choosing to play without it for her benefit.

@Suzan @eerko I really want to try this on BGA but I hate learning to play without a real physical copy. How is the learning curve?

82 days since last playing (not that I'm counting, by the way), so I'm glad we are getting it to the table tonight. We only really set it aside because of the recent influx of other to the collection.

Here is also a pic of our current stats. I won the last game, so I feel that Lindsey will be looking for a comeback tonight.

@BGStatsApp

Stats from Board Game Stats app for Ark Nova. Lindsey and I have played 7 times with her winning 4 and me winning 3. Average time to play is an hour and 42 minutes.

If the previous picture of I posted intrigues you, but you haven't heard or seen anything else of the game, check out our nifty 3 min overview of it here:

Well, time got away from us and Linds wanted to go to bed so I decided to play solo. I will tell you what, in my previous experience, solo did not seem so punishing but the game just flew by. My level of Conservation Points was trash and I lost by a ton.

Minniema, to gaming

Today is my birthday and I have been bought and taking my up to 5. Managed a couple of games of today which I enjoyed. As much as I love the app there's something about shuffling cards which is fun

Top boxes for Onirin Sylvion and Nautilion. Bottom row Aerion and Stellarion

@Minniema Nautilion is on my list but I haven't played any yet. Any recommendations or thoughts on which to snag first?
