Visited our son this weekend in College Station. Played 8 sessions of Fellowship of the Ring the Trick Taking Game. Got through Chapter 6. Great time with family.

Played Dominion tonight. But not just the classics, also a party card game Hoard the Hams. Friends came over and we were just all over the place.

Le Havre Establish a supply chain by collecting resources, building industries, and shipping.

Played Le Havre today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com

1st play. I had no grasp for what was going on until the last 2 turns. Not competitive.

First play. Clearly did not get it to start. Happy to be with friends who were generous with a learning game.

Concordia Merchants build and trade throughout the Roman Empire to please the Gods.

Ran it back immediately. My second game was a disaster. Not even competitive. But still fun.

My first play. Felt I was competitive for a first play. A great game - classic for a reason.

I really enjoy it. Unique theme and lots of diverse choices. I know players who do not like the randomness, but I think you can mitigate that. I think this is a gem.

Started Saturday morning with coffee and a two player game of Pam Am.

A Feast for Odin

First time to play this at 4 players. We had such an awesome morning with good friends playing one of my all time favorite games.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

So many great nights with family and friends. Recap of 2025 games.

Thoughts on Ito? We host a game day each New Year with a diverse group of some gamers and some not-so-much. Due to this, we tend to party games (Flip 7 was the hit this year, last year was Just 1) because it is a big, diverse, rotating group over the day. I’ve heard Ito is good for groups. Thoughts?

1981 … sorry!

Also love the game reviews, but to mix in this type of content really works.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social @2muchenthusiasm.bsky.social @adambght.bsky.social Hey all, just wanted to say that I just finished listening to today’s episode (273 - Healthy Competition) and I thought it was one of the most thoughtful and insightful episodes to date. Love the podcast, keep it up!

Date night with my favorite!
