January 2023 has been a refreshing start for with my work. I've been busy working with clients, new structures of my services etc and it's felt really good and very refreshing. That said, until things start to move on a (bit) more auto-pilot, I have to be patient in finding my balance in my days again.
Part of my balance, of course, is "My Zen" as my wife Shawna calls it; My board games. 😁
January has been a month of quicker, smaller games (at times) as I find myself with an hour at most when I actually get the chance to sit down to the table.
- I've been diving into Dungeon Roll a fair bit, working my way through playing all heroes.
- I've been making coffee with Coffee Roaster
- I've enjoyed some Squire for Hire. I really need to play this more regularly again. My squires definitely are nowhere near getting hired right now 🤣
- I played a game of Paladins of the West Kingdom this past weekend on standard difficulty and really held my own.
- I have been able to build and run a zoo with Ark Nova. I'm happy to report I WON my last play as well!!! 😎🐘
-This past weekend, I brought Viscounts of the West Kingdom to the table against the Noble AI. This was the last AI type of the four I needed to play to get a feel for all of them. It was a great game and always is fun to play. I love the full table feel that Viscounts and Paladins brings.
And finally, I did something AWESOME... I'm SO EXCITED!!!!
I ordered the final part of my Scythe collection: The Modular Board Expansion. It was at the very top of my wishlist for quite a while and the final piece of my love of everything Scythe. I haven't even dove into the variety that Wind Gambit brings with the alternate end game triggers OR the variety from my Rise of Fenris campaign and unlocking things!! I haven't even finished my RoF campaign yet (very sad and embarassing to say...) I CAN'T WAIT!!! Now the modular board will only offer THAT MUCH MORE in terms of options, variety and adventures in the alternate 1920's Europe. From here there's things like the Art Book and the metal coins for example to add if/when I feel like. But the game itself is complete for me now! Yay!!!
That said, I was hoping it would've shipped by now. So I'm looking most likely into late next week at least before I get to unbox it. 😯
I can't wait for the Modular Board to come to it's new home with it's fellow Scythe cousins. 😍 My shelf will be ready.
You don't have the metal coins yet? 😲 Tell me you do have Stonemaier's realistic resources!
Enjoy the modular board, it looks like a good addition for someone who likes to play it often.
