Game day! (more like half-a-game-day 😋)

First game: Castell, one of the games I have already shortlisted for my collection.

This game is an adaptation of Catalonia's tradition of building human towers during festivals. Castell = castle.

[Rian G. @riangabor]

Glad a fellow gamer brought this today. It solidifies my plan to add this to my collection in the future.

@kayedelosreyes Maraming salamat, bes. Hihi. Pacham yan. Pachamba. 😘

I made palitaw. As someone who doesn't know her way around the kitchen, I made palitaw! Simple recipe but it still came out in all shapes and sizes. Lol. 🤪

Happy weekend!

But the theme is not this game's strongest suit (if anything, it is next to non-existent in the gameplay 😆). It's the good brain burn you get from squeezing the best score out of your good-bad beer ingredient ration.

[Rian G. @riangabor]

This one, Heaven & Ale (2017), is about harvesting ingredients for beer brewing in an ancient monastery!!! Talk about cool game themes, right?!

[Rian G. @riangabor]

This one is Village, a worker placement game published in 2011. If the gaming mechanism "cube pulling" hasn't been coined yet, I'd coin it for this game. 😂 #boardgamegeek #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming

(I'm not that kuripot and "user friendly", but I set an annual board game acquisition allowance for myself and I've already burned through most of it earlier this year.")

[Rian G. @riangabor]

Learned a couple of new games these past few weeks. Thanks to fellow tabletoppers, we get to experience new-to-us games without having to constantly buy new ones. LOL.

@donaldmanlapaz I really liked his other books Sapiens and Homo Deus so I'm trying this one out. So far, so good. I'm reading on print though. 😅

And here's our end-game of #Concordia:

[Rian G. @riangabor]

Another successful game night at home. And by successful, I mean: (1) we got to play a game at a different player count--#ArchitectsoftheWestKingdom, (2) we got to play a new game, twice--#GoldWest, and (3) we got to play an old game that we last played 10 monthe ago--#Concordia.
