The boys were looking for a boardgame to play tonight, and on a whim we pulled out the old, old Avalon Hill Dune boardgame. Probably hasn't been opened in decades, but I vaguely remembered how to play it from childhood. Where I rarely played it for real.

Simon, as the Harkonnens, won in the third round as my attempt to oust him from a third stronghold failed because Lady Jessica was his traitor. Still, it may have some potential. (And it makes a change from "Root"...)

Strange catch: last time I've been to #Latvia was in 2019, but I see posts of some Latvian guys here on Mastodon. 🇱🇻
Someone else sent me a funny video by #BoardGameHangover - a channel I've never heard of before. In one scene there's a paperback labeled "Rimi". That rang a bell, even if I never was in that store. Looked it up and was right: the YouTubers are from Latvia. 🤓
Nevertheless: really a funny video. Watch it if you are into #Boardgames. 👍

Starting to get into Gathering of Friends times with games played on this day over the years.

Can’t believe it is 11 years since I played my 5WD prototype with @gilhova or that I never finished it off.

What #BoardGames do you really like, but you just can't win at? Whether it be solo or multiplayer?

Mine is Wayfarers of the South Tigris. I've played it 12 times against the solo AI deck, and I have NEVER won a single time. I've tried all the decks too, and I suck against every single one.

Tonight, I thought I was doing so well. It was finally going to be my time! I had so many space cards and inspiration cards... lost by 10 points.
