Tried Finspan this weekend and was genuinely surprised. I expected more of the same from the Wingspan/Wyrmspan line, but it’s impressively streamlined and stands on its own. Smooth, clever, and fun. Definitely worth checking out. #whatdidyouplaymondays #boardgames

@thedollop.bsky.social is a history podcast where comedian Dave Anthony reads a story from American history to his co-host, Gareth Reynolds—who has no idea what the topic will be about. The result is a hilarious and insightful deep dive into the strange corners of the past. #PodcastRecommendations

'Forest Shuffle' is a beautifully illustrated card game where you build a forest ecosystem. Designed by Kosch and published by @lookoutgames.bsky.social, each multi-use card blends decision-making and strategy, earning it the 2024 Deutscher Spiele Preis. #WhatDidYouPlayMondays #boardgames

I’m grateful to have a place like Lost in Fun here in Lincoln! On rainy days like this, having a clean, climate-controlled space where little ones can run, jump, and play is an absolute lifesaver. #supportlocal #lincolnnebraska #LNK

Lately, we’ve been making a point to step outside our usual spots, and that led us to El Cielito Lindo Mexican Restaurant. Tucked away at 100 N 1st St, this unassuming gem serves up a fantastic variety of Mexican classics—tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and more. #eatlocal #lincolnnebraska

The chickens and I enjoyed the warm weather and did a little spring cleaning of the coop before the blizzard hit. This is one, giving a squawk of approval once the work had been finished. #chickens

About halfway done making cuts, then assembly! #wipwednesday #woodworking #cabinets

'The Play to Win Podcast' with host James Wallis is worth a listen. This six-episode series charts the rise of modern board gaming through conversations with the people who made it happen. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/aco... #boardgames #podcast

'Meadow' is a beautifully illustrated game. Published by Rebel Studio and designed by Klemens Kalicki, it blends strategic planning with a relaxing experience. If you enjoy games like 'Wingspan' or 'Parks', this one might be worth a look! #Whatdidyouplaymonday #boardgames

Always a pleasure to stop at The Game Shoppe in Bellevue, NE. Picked up the rest of the MicroMacro series and 'Forest Shuffle'. Looking forward to getting them to the table! #sundayfunday

I am building cabinets. I have never built cabinets before. Should be fun. Right? #wipwednesday #woodworking #cabinets

At the insistence of our child (and the kindness of his Granny), Ms. Sally Walter has been this week's furry guest of honor. #dog

'Happy Little Dinosaurs' is a darkly comedic card game that playfully teaches kids how to handle life’s little (and big) disasters. As an adorable but doomed dino, kids learn to laugh at misfortune, manage frustration, and keep moving forward. #WhatDidYouPlayMondays #boardgames

Expanding the flock. These are two of the six brave enough for a photo. #chickens #urbanfarming

MicroMacro: Crime City is a departure from the usual board game fare. This 2021 Spiel des Jarhes winner by Johannes Sich is a fun one to have on hand. Published by Pegasus Spiele, seats 1-4 players. #whatdidyouplaymondays #boardgames

When temperatures drop below zero for several days, the chickens come into the heated garage. None of us are happy with this arrangement. #chickens #coldweather #wipwednesday
