6-player Scythe.
Took under 3 hours, which was fairly impressive.
What wasn't impressive? Our scores ๐Ÿคฃ

I won with 38 whopping points by rushing the end game with the Saxons, placing 3 total combat stars, 2 objectives, and 1 for Mechs.

Something that barely came to existence because the darn tarrifs shut down the creators. But GTG figured out a way to get this to backers!

Yeesh. Concordia with 6 player, teams.

Played in BGA, non teams, thought it was ok.

Played in person with my game group

Didn't like it at all. Honestly 2/10
Thoughts?

My thoughts playing Conservas

"Wow this game is so easy, oh crap I overfished clams! No wait, I got it, just barely. Ok oh wow February is easier, I have so much money, rolling in the clams, and, omg how did I run out of sardines!?"

Trickier than I thought and a nice little relaxing game

Been in a solo game slump. Nap time for the kids? Find myself getting chores done or napping myself.
After bedtime? I'm overstimulated and exhausted.

Tis a season

Not at all. Still tight. Gives you another avenue, still so smooth.

First ever play of Root! I was always so intimidated to try it but my game group decided they wanted to play it so we went for it!
I was the Eryie Dynasty and was SO CLOSE! But the guy that taught us won as the Vagabond with a 9 or final turn. I enjoyed it though!

Great October. Highlights: Tidal Blades 2, Tanglewoods, Obsession

Lowlights: not low but I feel like Unconscious Mind is pretty same-y. Played second game same as first and won again.

Got to introduce some new players to my #1 game of all time and crack open my adventure chest of Lost Ruins of Arnak.
Boy does that insert make setup so much easier than endless baggies!
Played with expedition leaders.

I've also decided that although I like the look of the washed minis, standees really are just easier. And since I don't paint, look nicer than normal gray ones. Now that I've played Jaws of the Lion with standees and TB2 with minis....any campaign games standees all the way for me!

I saved my first Tidal Blade and visited Naviri for the first time.
What a fun little part of the game. The absolute best part of it, in my eyes, is that you get 3 days. So you actually feel like you get to do a lot of different things! Such a cool part of the game so far.

My #GameoftheMonth took a short hiatus as illness torched thru my home (thank you daycare). But now that I've finally recovered and so have my two littles, mommy got back to Tidal Blades 2!

Scenario 2, a victory. But Axl did get his first wound. Im also not using the difficulty modifiers. I struggle enough. Let's not make it harder just because I'm succeeding

October's Game of the Month has FINALLY began.

Love the Nexus grid card system, love that I'm essentially playing Gloomhaven but with a MUCH prettier looking map and components. It's a pretty dungeon crawler ๐Ÿ˜Š

Enjoyed my beginning and look forward to a great month of Tidal Blades 2!
