Nerdz Day finally pushed our hold with @gamenerdzcom.bsky.social over the threshold. Exciting mail day!

Played a solo game of Creature Caravan today while Brad was working and the peanut was at school. The bot won by 10 points because…. I missed getting 12 points on a card 😩 the devil really is in the details lol 😂

Played Agricola for the first time tonight. I totally forgot to take pictures. Brad did a really good job explaining the rules and scoring. I can see why the game has endured for so long in the hobby. I will be interested in seeing how we both play differently and maybe more efficiently next game. 🐑

Timeline sanity cleanse! It’s this little girl’s first birthday today! We got her a little outfit with tutu, some toys already destroyed, and a special treat from our favorite local ice cream shop.

Can’t believe this little goofball is going to be 1 year old on Wednesday! Jaina keeps telling Cindy Lou when she turns one she will then be the big sister because I explained how dogs age and that Cindy will be 7 in human years. 🥰🐶🐾❤️

Last night, we put Sentinels of the Multiverse back on the table and were able to play through the game. The peanut was worn out from two birthday parties yesterday so didn’t need extra snuggles. The heroes managed to win and Voss was interesting to play against.

We were able to get together with a friend today and play a game of Creature Caravan and The Search for Planet X. Brad came in first in Creature Caravan and our friend came first in The Search for Planet X. Both are a lot of fun to play. 🧟🪐

Tonight, we set up Sentinels of the Multiverse, but we didn’t get to finish. The peanut just couldn’t fall asleep and needed extra cuddles. We know our board game collection isn’t going anywhere but our only kid is growing so fast and time with her will always be our priority. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒

The sun is out and so were we! Cindy Lou is a happy puppy with this early spring-like weather.

Well, it’s official after a bit of a scary visit to the dentist today for two baby teeth that just would not come out and were starting to cause issues, our peanut is getting her first visit from the Tooth Fairy tonight. 🦷🧚🏻🦷

What an auspicious time for this to drop. Gave me chills. “You’re here, you’re right here and you’re ready to fight!” And the lyrics…”the revolution is now” youtu.be/AE4wxt70aUM?...

Well Brad slaughtered me, he won by a bit and I wasn’t even out of my Barbarian phase… Defiantly learned some key takeaways for playing better next time. I told him I am actually going to be the Celts again to see if I can win with them now that I understand the game better. 🏛️

Age yourself with a movie you saw in theaters. (Jess) Also a note, I became obsessed with this movie but Disney hid it for years and my friends in high school thought I was nuts. When I went to Disney World for my 17th, I came back with a trivia book mentioning it to show them I was in fact sane.

This is what Jaina decided to do with her stickers from when we backed Flamecraft from Cardboard Alchemy, decorate her and my water tumblers. I love how they turned out! The cups definitely are giving off a more cozy vibe with cute dragons 🐉 all over them.

Our goal today is to get @ospreygames.bsky.social Imperium Classics to the table finally. Brad has Jaina out for a daddy-daughter breakfast date so I am picking my faction. I think I will go with the Celts! They sound cool! Who is your favorite nation?

Cindy Lou is feeling better thankfully! No more bellyaches since yesterday afternoon. We did manage to get Shards of Infinity from Stoneblade Ent. to the table so at least we got one game in yesterday. Brad won with 5 health left. A close and very fun game.

Well we were supposed to have a friend over for board games today while the peanut was in school but the dog has been throwing up all morning and the peanut’s loose tooth started hurting her so it’s going to be one of those days. May you all have a better start to your Fridays than we are ❤️

A Warcraft player and defender of democracy! We are fans! You can find him on this platform @chriswarcraft.bsky.social! Give him all the follows and may all of us be this brave in the coming days.

Did you know that next month, on March 17th, our very own Patrick Leder will celebrate his 50th birthday? Help us wish our Founder the best birthday ever! Send a card or note to: Patrick Leder 50th c/o Leder Games 1884 Como Avenue Saint Paul, MN 55108

There are others but this one is my all time favorite movie since I was a little girl.

Brad found these gems while putting something away in the board game room, I can’t wait to give them to Jaina after school. She loves stickers.

How our board game table often looks these days, half a game & half our little girl’s latest Lego creations. In this case: Neighbors 2 which is obviously the sequel to Neighbors which we played on Monday when she was off school. We are so proud of how creative she is & love the worlds she creates.

Haba is a favorite of our kiddo and we often buy their games as gifts for the kids in our extended family. I am happy to see they are partnering to bring their products back to the French market.

Our second game of Assault on Doomrock finally concluded tonight. We won, barely 😅 I think this one is a lot of fun and we will keep it on our shelf. Brad saved the game by surviving the final battle against the Doomstrider. 🤖🕷️ Looking fwd to the next game and trying different hero classes. 💀🪨

All set up & ready to play when Brad is done reading to Jaina & probably after I have to go up & tell her she is safe in this house, which is about the only place I can tell her in this hellscape we are living in right now that she is safe. I really wish the dark was all we had to be afraid of.

Congrats to Smirk and Dagger for their most successful Kickstarter yet & for hitting over a million in pledges! Brad and I are excited to get our cooy later this year and have some cozy game time organizing books (which now will not stress me out since our own library is finally organized) 😅 📚🎉

The real trick to getting back to playing board games at night with a puppy… frozen Kongs. Look at this adorable beggar 🐾🐶🐾

Tried a solo game of Creature Caravan. Was my first time playing a solo board game. I ended up running out of time to finish before it was time to get the floof so I will have to try again tomorrow to finish. Hard to tell when I stopped how I was doing in comparison to the bot. 🤖

Well TIL while browsing @boardgamegeek.com that this forum exists and wow, some of the listed kickstarters 🫣🤯 boardgamegeek.com/thread/10820...

We finally made it through a round of combat in Assault on Doomrock. We beat these baddies. I was the fairy and Brad was the commander (I think). Excited to pick the game back up tonight and see if we can actually make it to Doomrock 💪🏻🧚🏻‍♀️💀

Almost every economic expert in the world last year warned how awful and dangerous Trump’s tariff plan was and still over 77m voters were like okay sounds good. Smdh and this is only the beginning of it will impact board games both domestically and internationally. boardgamegeek.com/thread/34627...

I really wish that Reddit would stop advertising Washington Post sponsored content. I feel like at this point Reddit doesn’t know me at all if they think I would ever consider it a trusted news platform again. 😩

Let the assault begin! Hopefully, we last through the first round of combat this time 🤣 Game: Assault on Doomrock from BD Games.

I achieved my goal for our 2nd game of Creature Caravan and made it to Eastrey. I did bring two ember zombie 🧟‍♂️ with me so not sure if I am now responsible for the demise of the whole town or not 😬 My tableau was a bit crazy by the end and poor Brad was waiting awhile for me to finish my turn.
