And I’m caught up with #BoardGames blog posts about the first tranche of new games I played this year. Though I covered them in alphabetical order this post gets the lion’s share of the duds. I did like #Vinhos I think, I want to play it again to check anyway!
A classic piece of tabletop junk.

My sister-in-law and I finally got a game of Mythwind going. Definitely a bit of a learning curve, but once you understand the basic gameplay loop it’s a very relaxing experience. #boardgames #tabletop

It's my birthday, so I thought I would celebrate by trying out a 90's style 5 paint challenge..... I have no idea how this will end up!!!!
No battlefield is clean.
Add clutter. Add decay. Add something real.
These miniature tires fit any scene — fantasy ruins, sci-fi bunkers, modern alleyways, or grim wastelands.

A good weekend of board games.
My Meetup's library event was on Saturday morning, featuring a learn-and-play of AZUL. Another attendee brought DICE KINGDOMS OF VALERIA, which is a fun roll-and-write that focuses on chaining together actions; it's a bit like HADRIAN'S WALL, but not as complicated. I may need to consider getting it.
Back home, we continued our Clank! Legacy 2 campaign with game 11 -- one game is left. And we played some smaller games: the card game DRAGONKEEPERS, and the bag-builder GARDLINGS.
Sunday we brought out WILD GARDENS (shown), published by Rose Gauntlet, for the second time; the last time we played it was in October. You're foragers wandering along paths to collect ingredients such as mushrooms, bark, aquatics, and fruits, and using them for recipes like Elderberry Lemonade that award points. Guests want specific combinations of recipes, like (a main dish) + (a drink), or (dessert) + (anything), and they grant additional points plus an immediate benefit or an ongoing ability.
This library board is from WILD GARDENS. You can take a Study action to check out the book matching a particular ingredient, and also collect the skill token next to it. The skill token goes on your personal board and improves one of your available three actions.

Absolutely ridiculous amount of sacrifice made to the altar of Ixchel in this game of Hoplomachus. #SoloBoardgames #SoloGaming #Boardgames
@SecretAntelope Actually now that I got thinking about it, we have a board game about pinball, a pinball machine about a board game but have you ever seen a pinball machine about pinball?
It's called Pinball and it was made by Stern in '77.

The honorable mention goes to Bally's Silverball mania, which in addition to also being about pinball, features family-friendly themes such as having sex with a pinball machine, right in the backglass.

How about a nice comforting square arrangement of tiles, still seamlessly tileable, for your every day Carcassonne wallpaper needs.

Didn't get very far in the new Clockmaker's Labyrinth map of 52 Realms... Might need to give it another try with the Tinkerer instead of the Jailer

I wrote a blog post with some thoughts on Innovation Ultimate, Fellowship of the Ring: The Trick-taking Game, Black Forest and Faraway.
https://mikkosgameblog.com/2025/04/spring-2025-notes/
"I’ve been a fan of Innovation for 15 years now. I’ve only played the base game, though: my interest in the expansions has been close to zero (I tried Echoes once in beta). When the Innovation Ultimate crowdfunding was announced, I was intrigued and soon found myself ordering seven copies (four for members of my game group, three for other people).
When the game finally arrived in March, it was time to delve into the expansions. I’ve been very happy to play lots of Innovation, more than 20 plays now, and we’ve been trying various expansions alone and combinations, too. We’ve even played a couple of games with all the expansions!"
