Werewolf We had a dinner party and as the UK has been gripped with Traitors frenzy I decided to run a Werewolf game. I printed this version off BGG and it worked brilliantly. Voting is too structured and the cards aren't much good, so I bought Ultimate Werewolf for next time. #boardgamegeek

Silos Beautiful production, plays quickly and plenty of skill. Unfortunately it's abstract and unintuitive. Maybe better if the theme was completely stripped away in favour of the most usable production? @[email protected] romped home with the most societal power emblems. #boardgames

We beat Fate of the Fellowship last night on the 7th attempt. Such an amazing game. I think it's streets better than War of the Ring, which feels turgid in comparison. I have done a total 180⁰ on co-op games. They can be superb experiences. #boardgames

I'm using Misty Breez until there is a non-custodial L2 wallet that can accept async payments. It's 2025, how is this not possible? 🤷‍♂

You should listen to what he has to say.

I just tried zapping this in Jumble on my PC and with Minibits running in the foreground on my phone. It failed. I zapped with Primal's own wallet and it worked. I zapped with Amethyst using Minibits and it worked. Coracle.social would not connect with Minibits via NWC. It's a minefield. 😅

It used to work fine. :-\

I'm getting this error when I try to zap? > Zap failed: no info event (kind 13194) returned from relay The settings UI tells me that Minibits connected with NWC successfully. I disconnected and reconnected but I still get the error.

Struggle of Empires Old-school Martin Wallace. Everyone bids for alliances at the start of each phase - which varies the game flow cleverly. Also, the top VP position in each area is shared so there's little incentive for spite. I like few 5 hour games, but it's so well done that it doesn't bother me. The rules are a bit fiddly in places but I think it was cleaned up in later editions. #boardgames

Pax Porfiriana Had an awesome play of Pax Porf at Handycon. Both of knew the rules, so we were straight into it. One of the cards is of Caryl Ap Rhys Pryce. A a 24-carat chancer. A real life equivalent of Flashman in Pax Pamir. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caryl_Ap_Rhys_Pryce Love everything about this game except the messy rules. #boardgames

nostr.band is a pretty good search engine, but it's not brilliant for profile search. I can't exclude mostr.pub profiles for example. I think there is a better one but I can't find it. 🤔
