Last update for the day. I posted my videos on #TerraformingMars Ares Expedition last week, but I finally got the text review up.
This focuses on the solo variant, so if you fancy yourself the reading type, please check it out!

For your Sunday viewing pleasure, please check out my new videos on "Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition." There is a three minute #BURST overview and a 40 minute How to Play tutorial. Both focus only on the solo mode.

If you like reviews of the written variety, instead of those newfangled video types, please check out my newly posted review of Ark Nova.

A close game but I pulled out the win by 5 VP. However, I've played the solo game 4 times and this was my wife's first go, so not very impressive for me lol.

We never got a chance the other night but it's finally happening. Our first 2 player game of Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition. Will update later on how much she slaughters me by.

Tried my hand at expert mode of #TheSearchForPlanetX and got totally wrecked. Made a bad mistake at beginning with a Dwarf Planet guess and derailed everything.

Might get to teach my wife Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition tonight. Exciting, if only because it means she doesn't have an opportunity to beat me at #ArkNova again

Very excited to have completed my #ArkNova videos and get them posted. This is even more exciting as I put together my first #BURST video. These are my attempts to edit down my ramblings on games to below three minutes. Link is below. Please let me know what you think of this format.
Though, I still love the in-depth views so I HAD to still make an hour long video, too.

Borrowing the #BoardGamesAToZ hashtag from the Drakes.
"A" wasn't hard since we just got #ArkNova and it's a favorite at moment. The problem is, I am absolutely horrible at it. I want to be so good soooo badly!
This game took 2 hours again so I think we've settled on that is just the length it's going to be for us. Had to take a picture of Lindsey's zoo because mine was so pitiful. She won 21 to 1!

Before bed, played 2 more solo rounds of #TheSearchForPlanetX
Lost both but came super close on 2nd game. Even without finding Planet X first, only lost by 1 point.
I usually don't like guessing in these deduction games but I did in this certain play and it paid off. Otherwise, I'm not sure how I will ever outsmart a literal computer crunching these numbers lol

#BGStats has a pretty cool end of 2022 recap. #BoardGameStats #BoardGames #BoardGame #BoardGameBreakdown
Finally, I won on the next game. Fully terraformed Mars and scored 49 VP. This was on the easiest mode, though.
The cards "Arctic Algae" and "Developed Infrastructure" were a life saver. Being able to get 4 plants every time I flipped an ocean tile gave me a lot more chances to raise my oxygen level. Plus, having the 4 MC savings on rising the temperature was great as well.

Wow, #solo #TheSearchForPlanetX plays quick and the bot is not playing around. I found Planet X right after the bot did, but she had so many more theories published. Whooped me 22 to 10!

Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition won the poll, so about to start my first #solo play of it. Wish me luck!

I have two more games from Christmas I haven't tried yet. Which should I play #solo tonight? #BoardGames #BoardGame #TableTop #TableTopGames #BoardGameBreakdown
First 2-player game of #ArkNova happening tonight. I'm sure my wife is going to win...

Ready to try my hand at the solo variant for #ArkNova. This is my first time playing at all so I will report back how much I fail at it. There are a lot of beautiful cards and pieces to drool over though.

We talked our 13 year old into playing #MyLittleScythe so we had a game of 5. I still lost, badly. This time, my 7 year old won, and she was super excited that she got to win HER game!

That sweet feeling of knowing there are a lot of punchboards to handle in the near future.
