What I Played This Week 7/6 – 7/12

On July 13, 2020

Another week, another list of plays! Have you been getting some favorites to the table lately? Maybe some new games? Make any big orders lately, or back any new Kickstarters?

Looking back at this week, it was cool to play Monikers online. I’m also glad to get a new review game to the table with Berrymandering! For the week ahead I’m looking forward to an exciting Mail Call from Japanime Games, aaaand I’m 120% stoked to back a KS for Cryptozoic’s Steven Universe: Beach-a-Palooza Card Battling Game! (In case you didn’t know, I’m obsessed with that show).

What is on your radar these days?

Top 10 Game Expansions

You’ve all heard the saying that if you love something you should let it go, or set it free, or whatever, right? Yeah … well in board games, we don’t exactly stand for that. In fact, if you love something, you should probably seek out ways to expand it! Which brings us to the reason that we’re here today – my Top 10 board game expansions!

I love a bunch of expansions for games for different reasons. Some add new rules or variants to play with, some just add something to the game that I couldn’t see ever playing without! It was hard to try and order these, because it really has a lot to do with the games themselves too. So, without further ado and in no super particular order, let’s check out some expansions!

Hello there, Gamers! I hope everyone had another lovely week of gaming! I didn’t play a whole ton this week, for no particular reason, really. But I had fun with what I did play, worked on some new stuff to post this week, and also enjoyed a bunch of the Dice Tower Summer Spectacular! What’d you get to the table this week?

The Sparkle of the Sea – Noctiluca

In Game Review

Gorgeous and glowing, the noctiluca are not only a sight to behold, but coveted by many healers for their natural healing properties.

We’re looking for a few great divers to go down and collect these shimmering specimens and jar them up for those healers. Are you up for the task? Well then, let’s get going!
