Yesterday’s #BoardGames included two attempts at #WelcomeToTheMoon adventure 7, which felt simpler than previous ones but my opponent system errored out leaving us with very low scores in both games - we thought we’d do better second time but although the game went on longer the scores were much the same.

It was nice to get two ties though! At #NewYorkZoo we both filled our zoos up on the same action. And at #Clever4Ever we tied too - though both pretty awful “room for improvement” scores.

Sehr nett! 👍

Wie findet ihr #NewYorkZoo? Ab welchem Alter können Vielspieler-Kids das so spielen?

We finally got round to #NewYorkZoo this morning!

#BoardGames

Friday night is #BoardGames night! (Or it will be when it gets to night). We’re playing #Cascadia #Parks and #NewYorkZoo this week with #6Nimmt on hand if needed (it will be).

This was fun! A bit of #soloRPG fictional city building and #maps drawing with #ExNovo

I borrowed meeples from #NewYorkZoo and created a story about the animals breaking out of the zoo to found their own city Penelopetown ruled by the eponymous Emperor Penguin who led the escape. They found a lovely spot and marketed artisanal smoked fish from a river-y paradise for a while… until they ended up building a wall to protect themselves. Yup, they built their own city but it ended up being a zoo.

I’m starting to plan our nature themed board game night which will happen in a couple of weeks. We’ll start with Cascadia and Parks but they’re both fairly short so we’ll probably have time for New York Zoo too.

I’d love us to play Ark Nova but we won’t have time to teach it and play it.

The games I’ve considered so far are fairly light so maybe Honey Buzz will fit as a heavier option.

The more I play #NewYorkZoo the more creepy it seems that the game revolves around filling animal pens to overcrowding and then shipping the animals off and being able to build other attractions for the zoo like um… a hot dog stand? 🤔

This has replaced my initial unease about the mechanic where if one pen of animals breed then another pen of animals also work out how babies are made which now seems pretty natural in comparison.
