Sabine Emden<p>I played Vindication for the first time at a board game night yesterday evening. <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224783/vindication" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/22</span><span class="invisible">4783/vindication</span></a></p><p>I like the game. But it took us about four hours to finish it, much longer than we expected. It was already after midnight when I came home, and I did not get enough sleep last night. 🥱</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/boardGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boardGame</span></a></p>

Jonathan Arnold 🇺🇦<p>R's boyfriend came over last night, necessitating a quick trip to the grocery store to buy more burgers. But I didn't engage with him when he asked about the <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/boardgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boardgame</span></a> I had set up at the dining room table (Vagrantsong). He also asked about my ROG Ally. He's a gamer, so he was interested in the Windows handheld. But I wasn't feeling very interactive, so I didn't elaborate, which made me feel bad. Hopefully, I can make it up to him soon.</p>

Games for Music wiki / G4M<p>Another recurring idea for a <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/musicGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musicGame</span></a> is to separate playing music and doing in-game moves.

Legacy 2 <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/boardgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boardgame</span></a> continued with game 6 aka Clank Candyland. It’s a fun series of games but I think series 1 set such a high bar and it’s tough to do more without throwing the kitchen sink at the system. We have made a few boo-boos due to the greater number of moving parts/mechanics. Clank! still goes with pun loaded references and I wonder how many more (good ones) they can come up with?</p><p><a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boardgames</span></a> <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/ClankLegacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClankLegacy</span></a></p>
