@GlasWolf Wyrmspan looks really cool! We've not got it ourselves yet and we still have plenty of Wingspan (+ Expansions to get through) but I've got a feeling we're going to love it :)

@GlasWolf Absolutely 💯 even if the theme doesn’t appeal (as it didn’t for Joana) it’s a solid and fun hidden movement game ☺️ we’ve played it at 4 and 2 players, and it’s always been good fun; I’ve yet to try it solo but it’s on my todo list.

In this evenings board game sesh, we swapped the rolls in Sniper Elite: The Board Game;

Here is a photo where I was 100% sure Joana was stuck in the building. Turns out no, she never entered that building at all, she just sneakily used the sound distraction card to make me think she'd passed me... twice 🤣

Oh and then she threw a distraction rock which really made think she was trying to get out of there.

Having a fun couple of rounds with Sniper Elite: The Board Game tonight!

I went first as the sniper against Joana; I managed to get the first objective done just in time! Only a couple of pew pews too (Though one of them was with the shotgun so that took her by surprise when I ran into the room)

This is the first SPIEL we've tried to keep up with. It's been great to watch many videos from the folks that have attended.

Looks a lot of fun and we're hoping to attend a future one!

Any games that have your attention? We have a rapidly increasing list 👀

II've also been noticing many 3D / Stacking type games 🤔Some looking very intricate.

Solstis is our latest BGA obsession. We've really been enjoying BGA as a way to both discover and try new board games.

I'm still very much gushing over DaVinci Resolve. 🤩

So many things I wanted to do required weird workarounds or plugins over in Final Cut Pro.

Here I am able to work a lot quicker, and get things done in a way that makes sense to me.

I even managed to pull off a bit of custom animating text and turn it into a custom plugin for future use!?

I wish I switched earlier.

Note: I'm not saying Final Cut is bad, it just didn't click with me.

Not sure why the thumbnail embed on the link has been failing for me recently 😞

But here are a couple of pictures I found on their BGG page.

@dachary

Aw sorry to hear that, hope they feel better soon!

Nice! Wingspan is indeed brilliant. I've not played it solo yet though 🤔 Might try that on the Steam version one day, or pull out the physical copy :D

We have a couple of expansions we've been meaning to play with too, and waiting on Asia to arrive.

@nolando Yeah that's good idea, I could look a bit more.

I've checked a few before but they were already marked up a bunch because it was imported by an individual. At which point I might as-well try and get a larger order done (and pay the fees once) vs individual orders.

Hopefully soon 🤞

This account will soon be changing servers to a new one I've setup.

I don't expect there to be any problems, but just to give a heads up should you see a new follow notification from me.
