Thanks. Mostly we're trying to de-stress at this point. Very stressful time.

So far games are ok! We do have a small leak upstairs by a window but I don't think anything has hit the game room yet. I hope not anyhow. I better double check.
Water company came out that night to replace the meter. Finally we had water again! Then our furnace stopped working. Fortunately tech came out quickly and fixed that. Meanwhile we sleep in guest room while our bedroom is being dried to prevent mold. So yeah board games we'll get back to you soon...
They found the leak, cleared snow that was leaking inside, cleared some ice that was blocking its egress, etc... Meanwhile, our water meter froze and busted in 4 places causing our basement to flood. So contractor got their pump to empty the basement.
Well, board gaming quieted down this week. Woke up the other day to water dripping on my face. Thought it was a pipe leak so turned off the water. It was a roof leak. Then water froze. Called out help but plumbers bailed. Called out for more help and Contractor came out.
Love them! The expansion really made the game even better and more visually lovable too!
Cretaceous Rails with the Cretaceous Skies Expansion...
Yeah, I think there are clues in it. I want to avoid spoilers but we've already noticed some interesting things.
I am not sure but it's oddly shaped. The pieces are oddly shaped and it's not a rectangle like most puzzles.
More PostCurious. We broke out Pandora's Legacy. This one is interesting but first you have to buiild a jigsaw puzzle and we're still at it haha. I guess we're slow at this. #boardgames
Played Ministry of Lost Things from PostCurious today. Their games are so good. This one had a nice cheeky flavor to it too!
We just rotate turns (passing the hand of cards back and forth). The main thing is making sure that neither of us over-spends cards so the other has an ok turn. But we have a lot of fun playing it cooperatively that way!
Normal difficulty.
Continuing with the Christmas Games, yesterday we tried to defeat Krampus in Final Girl. We came oh so close to winning but Krampus found some extra life and we couldn't outlast him.
And our newest video is up! We call it our Shelf of Shameful Opportunity where we cover new to us games. youtu.be/SccEPIByCj4
We finally tabled Spirits of Christmas yesterday. We had play tested this game and enjoy it quite a bit. The mechanisms came back quickly but we lost. Because we sometimes just lose... #boardgames #boardgamegeeks

Today we finished Death in a snowstorm. This is a murder mystery game from Murder by Post. They promote it as a 12 day advent calendar but for us it worked much better to play in one sitting. In the end it was very good with some interesting puzzles.

A sampling of tv from the last week. With my illness we have lots of downtime so we watch lots of tv and film...
yay to christmas games!
We're back! Filmed today. Look for videos this week...
Last night we had a vegan christmas cookie exchange. We made two kinds of cookies and now have 6! Plus some vegan Bailey's Cookies and Cream. And some tea to warm down!
It was definitely highly entertaining! Plus we got to play Christmas Movie Magic so double win!

We implemented Christmas Movie Magic in a spreadsheet. Today we watched the Muppets Christmas Carol and played a game...
We love when we spot board game collections on TV. This was from the new season of Shakespeare and Hathaway. They were hiding from a killer and this was behind them...
oh good to know. Thanks!
We did a video where we identified 20+ themes and picked our favorite games for each theme. We love theme after all! youtu.be/r4PVXcuKyTQ
