Hey all! I made a gameplay video for ORGANISM - it is the first gameplay video I have ever made! It was actually more fun than I thought - does this make any sense: youtu.be/TP9DXc1MiBU?...
ORGANISM - gameplay!

Started off slow, but it’s picking up this month with a bunch of Unmatched coming in September. Got some new games to the table recently including ARCS, Pocket Wingspan and World Order. Loved them all.

@stonemaiergames.com Not that I need new ones as I’m sure everything is fine on the inside, but both my Wingspan Pockets that arrived today had slashes in the same side of the box. Thought you might want to know.
The side of two Wingspan Pockets boxes with small slashes in both of them.

I bet you can’t guess which color I was. I was yellow. I too like to live dangerously. Seriously though at two points a train it’s not bad and I did win by 9 thanks to the most connected cities. I won the entire game by one city. #boardgames #tickettoride
Ticket to Ride Asia map with 11 yellow trains, five green trains, four red trains and one blue train in the damaged train corner of the map.
