Got the light kit installed this afternoon. My daughter and I had a fun time with this set. The light kit really makes it pop.
Took us a little over a month. The light kit install was kind of a bear but so worth it. It plays the old cartoon theme song along with several other sound effects.
Finally finished the build and kit install. I think it took us about a month and a week or two. It's amazing. The sound and lighting effects are amazing.
Sea of stars. And it is a delight.
I was pretty shocked when I saw the pattern online.
The pattern is for sale. And cross-stitching is pretty easy to pick up! (It's not my pattern. I stumbled on it and had to make it)
You can play it on frotz or just online in a few places.
Got in a game of Indiana Jones Sands of Adventure. Managed a win this time. We were using the "B" sides of the tiles. They seemed to make things easier than the "A" sides. Fun little co-op. Indy and Sallah triumph!
Nah, they existed. The sky today just reminded me of the song.
Thank you for this.
So much light pollution. I grew up without mountains and now live somewhere with mountains. Miss that wide open sky. Day and night.
Machi Koro is super simple to travel with. Just rubber band the cards and throw the dice and money tokens in a bag and there you go.
Jaipur is similar that way.
Anything by Oink Games.
You're going on a series of four "hikes". You roll to determine how many grid/elevation lines you can cross in a turn. You have to end your turn on a waypoint. If you can't, you can rest and earn a water bottle which will let you add one additional line cross in a later turn. The different spots enable scoring/abilities. So by the end you've wandered over the map and hopefully accrued some points.
Got in our first game of Waypoints. Fun little roll and write. A lot to wrap your head around. Some of the scoring conditions are a little tricky. Had a good time though. May take it on an upcoming trip.
Sahara is a truly fun time. Romancing the Stone and The Lost City are also good.
Got in a play of Tiger and Dragon and Cosmoctopus.
Tiger and Dragon is a larger box game from Oink Games. I like the slightly puzzly nature of this one and playing with the tiles.
Cosmoctopus is gonna take a couple more plays before I get a good opinion of it. The table presence is fun, but I almost can't imagine a world in which I don't always play the "fast" game and just start everyone with 3 tentacles. This thing seems like it runs long. We definitely had a couple questions about the rules as we were going through.
