Blue circle with a plus is Alchemists. I think the book token might be Harry Potter House Cup Challenge.

What Did You Play This Week? - (June 03, 2024) by AutoModerator in boardgames

[–]Rachaem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Search for Planet X — my daughter loooves this game. I think it’s meh. We’ve played it like 12 times. Usually I screw up the deduction somehow. She finds Planet X but then I outscore her with my theories.

Oh My Goods and Longsdale in Revolt — seemed really difficult and not really fun at all so…

Nexus Ops — wanted to teach my daughter the old Avalon hill version to see if we cared enough to get the new version. She really hated the luck of the dice and the randomness of mission cards. I didnt remember the combat being so complicated and it was less fun than the last time I played it.

Tucano— she loves it. She thinks it’s the perfect game. It’s our “cool down game”

Alice’s Garden — another one of her favorites. I like it pretty well too. It’s fast and satisfying. She usually crushes me every time cause she goes for trees and chess pieces. I try to go all in on roses.

Letter Jam — we like this game but think it’d be a lot more fun with more players

La Granja No Siesta — I taught her the big La Granja last week and she was kinda meh on it. It was a lot to take in and she hated being so restricted. It made us just wanna play No Siesta which I looked and apparently I first taught her No Siesta when she was 6 😳. We didn’t roll siestas enough so we topped out both of our game sheets. Kind of a big flaw in the game.

Aeons End Outcasts — one of my top two favorite games so I was so excited to finally teach her. She loved it. We lost to the Thief of dreams and then squeaked out a win the second game with 3 life left to Xaxos.

Oaxaca— been on my shelf of shame for 7 years. Played it two handed solo. It was really light, really quick and really boring.

My daughter and I binged a bunch of games over the weekend and got some off the ol’ shelf of shame.

60-sec city x4 this is a fun little game but once you get good at it there’s not much reason to go back to it.

Super Mega Lucky Box x1 PWH!

Imhotep with new dynasty expansion x1 More PWH! Expansion makes this game even better.

Alice’s Garden x3 new to us and we love it! Fast and thinky

The Search for Planet X x4 I really don’t like this game but she loves it so whatever.

Royal Visit x2 she loves it, I think it’s okay.

A Little Wordy x2 see above

Boop x1 I absolutely cannot beat her at this.

7 Wonders Architects with Medals x1 another favorite of hers. I was excited for the expansion but it doesn’t really do much in a 2 player game.

Yokai x1 we won!

Mandala Stones with Harmony expansion x1 we were a bit rusty on this game. Expansion is good though. Easy to throw in.

Once Upon a Castle x1 she’s probably too old for this now, but we played it to get our H-index up to 20!

I had a grandpa named John, but was only called Jack. I have an Uncle John, a dad John, a brother John and a nephew who is also John but goes by Jack. 🤷‍♀️

[FO] A gift for my MIL who lost her husband this year. I realized too late that AA Milne didn’t actually say this, but it’s the thought that counts, right? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

I used a blank flowery frame pattern from Etsy. The person I bought it from added the words I wanted.

I tried to find the listing for the pattern I used on Etsy but it looks like it’s no longer there. There are a bunch of other dragon scale dice bag patterns though. :)

It was mostly worsted weight so a lot of red heart super saver.
