So last night I played a game called Vinhos-- I think it's a pretty famous game? I've heard a lot about it for a few years now and I just finally played it last night. You are managing your wine corporation and are competing against each other by trying to get the highest score which represents your wine corporation as a whole. I made the mistake of not watching a tutorial ahead of time-- it was a 22 min video but guests were coming over to play so the game was 4 players! And both the guests had watched the video and my partner had read the rulebook so I was like feeling pretty overwhelmed. My partner started off our game night with a rules explanation that took an hour!! (ugh haha I should've just watched the video what a waste of time...) And then we played from like 9pm to midnight! Thank goodness I don't have work this morning but I feel bad for our neighbors. They are never going to wanna come over again 😅 I ended up in second place :) Last place player seemed kind of sad that she lost so badly after watching the how to play video twice 😭

This came up on my firefox pocket recommendations. A slate article featuring a Board game about birds called Wingspan. It's themed around real birds and what they eat. The art alone is worth a look. It was so neat that I had to share :-)

^ I love Wingspan! It is indeed quite beautiful! Thor and I played quite a bit on Tabletop Simulator, and I’m dying to buy the standalone digital version as soon as it’s on a good enough sale! (it’s been available on PC for a while, but I really want the iOS version that’s just been released, so I can play it on my iPad). It’s a really good board game!

I'm glad to hear that it's as fun as it looks. <3 the app store version looks very fun too :-)
I wish I'd had this game when I was going though my board game phase as a kid. This and Ticket to Ride would have been worn out. Much like My Connect Four set XD

Thor The theme sounds really fun! I went though a space phase when I was 7 or 8. Read everything in our small library. This would have been right down my alley.

Never heard of them, but that looks really interesting! Did you play the physical version or digital? I'll bet RebeccaMonkey would love them! (or maybe even already knows them?) I wonder if there's a TTS version...

I have played some of the EXIT Games I think the secret lab one may be the first one I played? I think there’s a bunch I haven’t played at this point but they’re fun!

I played the physical version! I didn't know there was a TTS version. So, you've played on TTS RebeccaMonkey ? That's so cool! I've played maybe 3 of these EXIT games before and its a lot of fun! I absolutely loved these games!

No, I have no idea if there's a TTS version -- just wondering/hoping. I haven't played TTS in a while, or checked what's new mods are available. I should get back into it sometime, but...

I absolutely loved these games! Oh no sorry I mean I played the physical versions of the EXIT games as well! I’m not sure if there’s a TTS version but that would be cool!
