Spent the bulk of yesterday playing John Company, 2nd Edition.

I can't say enough good things about this. Ideally, you want to play it at a full 5 players, and accept it's going to take half of your day. Lean into the horrors of the negotiations and the carpetbagging. It is an incredible experience.

This preview offers a great summing up, if you're keen to know more.

I got the 80s classic Talisman to play with my kids. Great nostalgic Fun.

Cannot fucking wait to get stuck into Arcs and the big expansion.

Finally got my Labyrinth expansions, so there's an all-dayer in the offing.

My reprint of The Awakening showed up on the same day they've announced a prequel expansion, which will turn it into a weekender. Christ.

Played Lacrimosa for the first time last night. Easy to learn, hard to master. Lovely theme and components.

Great game. Played at 3 but think it would be even more cut-throat at 4.

Lost by six dollars. Fucks sake.

My wife and I ended up playing "Lords of Waterdeep" with some friends, and I was surprised by how fun it was, I was even more surprised by how much my wife liked it; we ended up buying a copy the next day, and have, naturally, been unable to take it up again because our lives are miserably busy with kids and trying to scrape by in a late-stage capitalist hellscape.
