Like Quoridor and Quarto? Then discover Qawale this February! #boardgames #tabletopgames

Gigamic has released some amazing abstract games over the years. Not just because of the gameplay, but the presentation has made games like Quoridor and Quarto classics. Coming this February is their latest, Qawale. Grab your favorite Player 2 and challenge them to this three-dimensional landscape where mancala meets four-in-a-row. Both simple and tactical, Qawale is inspired by piles of stones…

2, 6,21 and 24 for the ask game 😇

hihi! 2. three last songs you listened to: ik bagal, by piyush mishra, a song ive recently been obsessed with (could only find the eng trans from a vid thats also a cover here), koi by gen hoshino(!!) and cobalt by mob choir

6. three songs you wish you could erase from history (because they’re terrible): im v bad at remembering stuff i like in the first place afsh apologies for the cop out but im pretty sure ive either never disliked a song sm to wish its inexistence, and if i did, certainly dont remember it anymore

21. three songs of your childhood: a little difficult a little fun! ill say aashiyan from barfi, half bcs this album and all its songs r still my favorite years later (movie too!!) and half bcs i have way too nice memories of performing this song as a kid at an event at dad's work and getting complimented a lot (it was aided tho, im sure, by my front teeth missing). second would be ae mere zohra jabeen, a veeery old classic bollywood song, and v much beloved to me both when i was tiny and straining to catch my ma's radio during hw and now when i can add it to all my playlists. third!! raabta by shreya ghoshal, a song that annoys me a lot now simply bcs ive heard it >2000 times bcs it was such a (deserved) rage when it came out for a few yrs

24. three favourite old songs: tere naam! by alka yagnik (listened to a newish cover, fell in love, found its original version, fell sm in love!!) id again mention ae mere zohra jabeen by manna dey bcs i never get over how sweet and cute of an old song it is. third, kaheen dur jab din dhal jaye, movie anand bcs heyy its lyrics, i really love whats it abt!!

im not surprised its just wholly old bollywood bcs thats what majority of kids in india grow up on, either by their parents love for it, or being a kid in the era itself. plus! i could never rec old bollywood enough, its either so catchy that u cheer the love its talking abt, or so poetic that u..cheer the love its talking abt, half of the time managing to be both. not to mention the iconic voices with legions of songs to their names. thank u for asking, i had sm fun!!!

Aur jurm kiya hai to bhi bata, ye jurm ki jurd ki kya hai saza

今日はどうですか？話しましょう！

今日は私がboardgamearenaでボードゲームをしていました。forest shuffleやfluxxが大好きです。私もpatchworkやforbidden islandやlove letterが好きです。qawaleが好きですが、あまり得意ではありません。

私もspace parkやmartian chessが大好きですが、boardgamearenaにはspace parkとmartian chessはありません。家族とmartian chessをたくさんします。妹はこのゲームが大好きです！

じゃ、今日は何をしていますか？

November 2023 Games Played Retrospective

Still a little late, but not as late as last time!! Have my monthly games played retrospective for last month :]

November 2023 I played 15 unique games, many only a handful of times, and many more only once. Here’s my top three by plays for November!

Orion Duel (4 Plays)

I played this one online a handful of times before I got into my solo game phase of the month. It’s still a fun one, I just need to readjust my strategies and thought processes if I want to actually see myself getting any wins again LOL. It has been a hot minute since I’ve been able to pull off a win haha.

Retrograde (4 Plays)

Probably the one I’ve had the most fun with these last few days. It’s an easy solo game to play, though I do find myself craving to play it multiplayer again soon. I’m a sucker for how easy it is to roll those dice and cross off aliens I think. Definitely going to keep playing this one however I’m able to <3

Under Falling Skies (4 Plays)

I think I’ve got the easy basic set up for this game down—I’m able to win in a decent amount of time, so I figured I’d challenge myself with tougher difficulties. Golly, is it a challenge indeed! I have yet to win on any higher difficulties with this game, but it’s engaging enough that I don’t mind trying over and over again.

Other Honorable Mentions and Going Forward

Other honorable mentions include Backgammon (3 plays), Chomp (3 plays), and The Oregon Trail Card Game (3 plays). Games I played once include Martian Dice, Qawale, Quantik, Quarto, Quibbles, and Yoxii.

Last month I played sporadically more than anything, and by the end of the month wanted to get a few plays in for some solo games I physically owned (I had played a few throughout the month as well). In November, I played Retrograde (4 plays), Under Falling Skies (4 plays), Chomp (3 plays) and Cosmoctopus (2 plays).

For December, I have a fair sized list of games I’d like to get and try out physically, including games like Spicy, Control, and Cat in the Box.

I’m also curious about some traditional playing card card games as well actually, like Hearts and Spades and Euchre and Rummy. I’m hoping to try them out online and physically if I’m able!!

Let’s see what December brings for board game playing!!

Tujhse juda kuch yaad rakhne ki jaise jarurat mehsoos nahi hui..

Saqi Sharaab laa ki tabiyat udas hai....
