Played Ariadnyk by boardova, a dynamic tilelaying game about Spirits and charms. And sheep.

It's beautiful and fun and I managed to gather 108 sheep!

Fourth game of the day is the utterly gorgeous Pollen from @allplay.bsky.social and designer Reinier Knizia. In a similar vein to A Gentle Rain, however you are in competition to get the majority of butterflies, bees and beetles.

I am LIVE playing the digital version of Beacon Patrol. This is a co-op tilelaying game that also plays great solo. As you're laying tiles you're also moving your boat which determines where you can place your next time. It's cozy but puzzly and I'm so glad it's online

Come join me over on Twitch~
