I taught my 9 YO, and Baby Yoda, how to play #Libertalia tonight. We played the solo variant together so she could learn. She didnt fully understand the order to trigger cards (sun, dusk, moon, voyage) but caught on quickly about what loot tiles to try to win and when to sacrifice cards and when to hold back high value ones.

We won by 1 pt!

I wish this was better at 2p so my wife and I could play it more bc I really like it!

I suppose an introduction is in order. Better make one before I forget...

I'm a #pansexual, #agender, and #aromantic of the #autistic #furry variety! My presentation is primarily feminine, though I incorporate some masculine or neutral pieces when the mood strikes me.

I was born and raised in #newzealand, though you wouldn't know that from my accent, a weird american-british-kiwi hybrid.

I may occasionally toot about these

Currently looking for education in some kind of Systems Administration Role, and run #NixOS on a daily basis. I also build my own machines.

My toots and boosts may occasionally be #NSFW. DNI with these unless you are of legal age.

Feel free to DM me, unless you're a #troll, #bigot, or anything else of the sort.

Today Linds and I celebrate 15 years of marriage! We went out of town and to a fancy restaurant a few weeks ago so we stayed in tonight. But we did get to play one of the presents I got her. #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding the #BoardGame

She loves the show and even though I didnt have any illusions of it being a great #game it was a fun gift. We need ways to make it harder because I can't see how you wouldn't win every game.

Vantage, solo

I know it's a bit of an It game right now but I think people are underappreciating how light the game is. Mostly to its credit, since it smartly pulls a lot of friction from the genre. Putting this side by side with Earthborne Rangers is like putting two diametrically opposed levels of mechanical complexity trying to do the same thing. I'm still a little on the fence on the game but it definitely goes down smooth.

Vantage, solo

Tried my new copy of Vantage. I don't know how it's going to play with my partner, but it's very cute. The system where you add cards feels really good which is kinda the core thing for a booklet adventure game like this. Still a bit on the fence about kinda unknown difficulty tests. It's fine with me but I do think it definitely shifts its genre in a way.

The production is insane without all the extra nonsense I bought mine with. I cannot believe there's any way Stonemaier is making much money on this thing even at MSRP, it feels like pure passion project by an indulgent (of himself) business owner.

Play Brilliant posted a review of my RPG, "Welcome Aboard, Captain".

They really liked it!

I was impressed by how much time they put into it. It's a solo RPG, but has rules for multiplayer, and they tested both! And they contacted me with questions about design intent and rules, so it's clear they put it through its paces.

I did not solicit the review - they contacted me cold. I comp'ed them a digital copy for the review.
