Tried my hand at another game of #TinyEpicDinosaurs but this time used a more balanced solo variant from the BGG forums and it was much more enjoyable. I won by 5 but never felt like I was running away with the game.
Stuffed up my print run yesterday, so now I have to drive all the way into Launceston and get it done again. Entirely my fault, but very frustrating. How long does it take you to get anywhere from where you live? About forty minutes? Less?
I never ever ever win at Dominion, although I always have fun regardless. But tonight, I crushed my opponents so thoroughly that they aren’t going to ever let me use the strategy I used again. #BoardGames#TabletopGames
Magic: The Gathering has come a long way since it debuted at Gen Con in 1993. Last year, it became a billion-dollar brand. The genius behind it, mathematician Richard Garfield, left Wizards of the Coast, Magic's publisher, shortly after it was sold to Hasbro in 1999 and has subsequently expressed an apparent disillusionment with what the game has become. Defector's Nick Zarzycki interviewed him about this, his perception of the existential threats to Magic, and why he left the company. [Story may be paywalled]
Tell me all about your #FridayFinds! What cool #TabletopGames and #TTRPGs have you discovered or played for the first time recently? What do you like about them? What drew you to them?
@Tipa behold the artefact!
(It's mostly for the cool factor, but it's an 8Gb drive, so it has come handy a couple of times to have it always in my pocket)
