Friday link love

By Meeple Lady | April 10, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment

Are you guys all excited for International Table Top Day tomorrow? Woohoo!! There are so many events in the Phoenix area; I’m splitting my time between two events and wish I could do even more. So many games, so little time!

Anyway, it’s that time of the week — Friday link love. Enjoy!

— The Board Game Family asks if Splendor is a splendid family game? Here’s my review on the game.

— Daniel Solis has designed some neato commemorative coins for Tabletop Day.

— GeekDad settles a legal matter and a new day dawns.

— Chris at The Draw Deck talks about which games can fill in that small window of time when there’s a new baby.

— Even Buzzfeed is getting into the spirit of Tabletop Day: 19 board games adults will actually want to play.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

NEW POST: In mid-November, my husband and I drove to Tucson for @rincongamestucson. This convention happened a little later than its usual late-September time slot, so, for the first time ever, I had two back-to-back weekend conventions to attend. I powered through because I love attending this convention every year. It's so chill and friendly, a nice respite after a hectic few weeks. Here's what I played.

NEW POST: I love learning about history, I love learning about people’s game designs, and I love playing all types of games. And I’ve been lucky to have gamed with some of the coolest and interesting people in the hobby! Here's what I played at @sdhistcon.

Last night, I had the pleasure of playing in a giant game of John Company at @sdhistcon! We had four members in each of the four families on the board, and Cole and Drew ran the game that Cole created. It was a night of chaotic yelling, voting, wheeling and dealing we as tried to keep the company afloat, which we ultimately failed to do so as the game goes. My Hastings family members included Mark, Ananda and Sebastian. What a night!

I love logic puzzles and own the book Murdle Vol. 1. So when this book came out in a board game form, I had to try it! This was a fun implementation of the puzzles! There are 4 case cards, and you're trying to figure out which suspect used which weapon in which room, and only one set of the combos are the guilty party! Players know different starting information, and turns are spent revealing something from your chart. If you place an X, you get to look at one thing from one of the case cards, but if you place a checkmark, you can look at more information from the case cards. The puzzle slowly reveals itself and the first one to decipher the guilty party wins. Lastly, i learned there's a daily Murdle online, so I'm definitely adding that to my list of daily cozy puzzles.

Animal Crossing came to an aquarium in the Phoenix area, so of course I visited this weekend when Tom Nook and Isabelle made an appearance! The aquarium was decked out for both Animal Crossing and Halloween, so that was a nice treat! I was most amused by Gulliver included in the exhibit doing what he does best -- sleeping it off after a rough night. 😂 Lastly, seeing the entire Animal Crossing Lego collection together was just too cute. #animalcrossing #tomnook
