Checking in, just to keep things different.

Board games are definitely my jam, and I've tried to do what I can to help them succeed here.

One game I've pretty much despaired of ever playing again is Genoa. It's a negotiation game, and one that pretty much has to be played in real-time to keep the game flowing and the deals moving, so it's not something I could try to implement here. But I always like the balance between trying to figure out how to get people to trade with you without giving away the farm - and the fact that there's incentive to trade with everyone instead of just forming tight-knit alliances.

I've had an ongoing game of The Crew: Mission Deep Sea on BGA for over a year now, and still no signs of stopping. Awesome cooperative trick-taking game.

With Stardew Valley, we're aiming to get through one in-game day every 3-4 real-time days - keeping the game's seasons synched up with the northern hemisphere's seasons. Anyone who wants to help us decide how to grow the farm is welcome to chime in!
