Tigers Treefrog Hyloscirtus Tigrinus

Tiger's Treefrog (Hyloscirtus tigrinus) on bromeliad, new species discovered in 2007, Colombia

Habitat: Colombia, Ecuador

Status: Endangered

The Tiger’s Treefrog (Hyloscirtus tigrinus) was only recently described in 2008 in the jungles of Colombia and Ecuador. Its been named one of the most beautiful species in the world and is exceedingly rare. A population size estimate only puts fewer than 250 mature individuals in the wild. The project in 2008, lead by the Fundación para la Investigación en biodiversidad Amazónica (FIBA), was undertaken in order to capture data on this elusive treefrog which would then be used in preparation for designing a conservation plan.

The species is only know from 6 localities and only 12 individuals (1 to 5 in each locality) were found. It would be such a shame if this incredible species were to disappear forever! Now we have to work on saving tigers and tiger’s treefrogs.

Board Games Wishlist (2023 Update)

It’s been two years since the last list and a lot has changed. I think that my wishlist actually is the smallest it has ever been and there are very few must haves. Reasons behind this are simple. I actually bought some games second hand in auctions and now I find it much more interesting to have older lesser known games. I also played some fifty different games on BGA and that made my taste and my niches a lot cleaner. I like certain kinds of train games, I like auctions and betting in general and I find most worker placement games I’ve played so far boring.

I also decided on an overall shape my library or collection or call it whatever you want of board games should have. It should contain roughly three groups of games. The core are heavier or very niche games, which can take longer to play and playing them is an experience. I would expect this group to contain games from smaller niche publishers like Holland Spiele, Splotter, Winsome, Treefrog/Warfrog or Wehrlegig. Many of these can be limited runs or difficult to get outside of the USA, so they probably would end up being permanent gems in my collection. I don’t expect myself to get my hands on more than 1 or 2 games in this category short term, so I don’t have to worry too much about space or games getting played here. The second category are games I mostly own now. This category is ideal for medium sized games with quite straightforward rules, but a lot of depth in terms of options. I prefer games with less components, which maximize player’s choices and loads of interaction. Wallace, Knizia, Kiesling and Kramer are typical examples of designers making games, which fit this category. This category should rotate a little bit more and games could get replaced easily with something fresher after some time. Long-term I’d expect it to bloat to some 20 titles and get a lot firmer. The third group are small and ideally fast games. These don’t take almost any space in comparison with previous categories. I could have a drawer full of them, dozens of games. I want to buy some of these mostly to explore possibilities of light rulesets and to be able to take one or two of them with me on a road and maybe use it in a hostel as way to meet new people.

There is one more category. I would like to create DIY versions of some of the games just to get crafty and maybe later create some prototypes of my own. There are also games like Chocolate Factory I want to talk about here, suggests ways to make it more interesting and so on. Now, lets talk individual titles still on my wishlist and let’s keep it brief. I’m not including everything. I decided to only include 5 items max in each category and these are the ones I’m the most interested in at the moment.

The Core

Early Railways Collection - Yes, the first item contains three different games released originally independently by Winsome Games and all three of them being iterations of the same system designed by Martin Wallace and considered a spiritual predecessor to Age of Steam. They are a lot less about building tracks and even more about managing your income, auctioning and delivering. They seem to be beautifully simple with a lot of depth. The first two are mostly the same with the last one (Australian Railways) adding more rules and creating a different puzzle. There are quite a few pictures of home brew version on BGG and I might consider making my own homemade version too.

Age of Steam - A lifestyle game about delivering goods via trains by Martin Wallace. I watched a lot of footage of this and I really like it and find the way the game navigates players through a relatively complicated round structure great. It’s interactive, cutthroat and filled with satisfying decision. I would like to buy the new deluxe edition, but I’m slightly worried about its big box and if it will fit among my other games. Other than that It’s a beautiful version with graphics by Ian O’Toole.

Pax Porfiriana - This one could actually enter my collection soon, because it’s very likely that a Czech version gets released this or the next year. Pax games are a weird bunch of historical games, often with weird ethics, originally with a small footprint. This one seems to be the most accessible one with the most interesting theme of civil unrest in Mexico around the reign of Porfirio Diaz. You play cards and do various stuff to improve your situation or to damage your opponent. Other Sierra Madre games could be an alternative (Greenland for example), but this one is the one I would like to try out the most.

Honorable mentions - this category has a long list of them. There are many games fitting it, but because of their availability or price, I would be happy to get my hands on any of them. There are Splotter games including Roads and Boats, The Great Zimbabwe and UR: 1830 B.C. or the original edition of Bus. Most of them are expensive and limited runs. Next on Holland Spiele with games like Dual Gauge and The Soo Line and An Infamous Traffic by Cole Wehrle. This one might actually get updated and published by his own company, Wehrlegig. John Company: Second Edition is super high on my list too. It’s just too expensive to justify the purchase right now. Oath and Arcs look interesting too. Amabel Holland also designed quite a few interesting cube rail games for Winsome games of John Bohrer. There are at least twenty interesting games from the publisher, but I guess that a more reasonable choice here would be to attend a dedicated con and play a bunch. The last bunch of games isn’t as difficult to obtain but they’re still heavier euro games. Very thematic Obsession was my game of 2022, Autobahn looks like an interesting twist on Age of Steam and Carnegie is a very fun heavier games, in which placing workers isn’t boring. Picture featured below is from the Holland Spiele’s The Vote: Suffrage and Supression in America.

The Backbone

Assyria - I mentioned this in my end of the year list, but I love how this game combines theme with mechanisms in a fairly light euro game. Every decision is interesting an important and you feel like you always want to do more. The esthetic of Assyria is also very pleasant and it helps the theme. In its physical form this feels like an ideal game to play once a year with friends.

Tinner’s Trail - I guess this could be easily replaced by other Martin Wallace games. TT is the one I’ve tried and I know I enjoy. I think I would also enjoy slightly heavier Brass and other economic games from the designer. I think that Early Railways games might actually be relatively close to this too. This one has a cool mining theme, a second edition with vibrant artwork (maybe too vibrant) and really fun auctions well tied to other mechanisms. It’s about investing the right amount of money or even losing auctions at some points to earn money. There’s also time management. Each action costs hours. Improving your mines, setting up operations or mining. And if you spend too much time on other actions, you might not be able to mine as much. And ending your round later might mean less points and so on. Mechanisms in this are really well connected and I think this game sings.

Palaces of Carrara - Palaces didn’t make a good first impression on me. But I gave it a second chance and it has become my favourite game. It’s not a complicated game. Basically, you’re collecting cubes from a wheel and pay them to build structures in various cities and race to score those cities and to accomplish variable goals. It has a ton of replayability, agonizing decisions and scoring big feels satisfying af. I would like to own the first edition in a smaller sturdier box. I might even like the cover better. The photo was originally uploaded on BGG by Daniel Danzer aka @duchamp.

The Fodder Drawer 

Age of War - Actually, I put this back on my list earlier today after looking throw previous versions of this list on this blog. Surprisingly, the little Knizia dice chucker has become a rarity and It can’t be easily purchased. Still, I find it to be great little package, easy to get into, travel with to have in my drawer. In the end I decided to make it my Knizia in this section instead of great two player games Lost Cities and Battle Line.

Bohnanza - Because Shut Up and Sit Down says so. It looks like a fun little game, it has this great wacky theme and old school illustrations and it is cheap. Another Amigo game I would consider is 6 Nimmt, which is a good party time. Bohnanza  got the spot in the end, because it’s a bluffing game and I quite enjoy bluffing.

Targi - I played this on BGA few times and it’s a great thinky game. It’s not a game I’m always in mood for, but it’s fairly easy to explain and it only takes two. Basically, It’s an alternative to chess.  Targi is dry as the desert it is set in, but it’s still little more merciful than the olde game and I don’t feel as bad losing it.

Village Rails - I still want this fairly new game from Osprey. I like the visual style, the local theme being boring in a good way and I actually quite like the designer, who also made Chocolate Factory.

Las Vegas - I really wanted to feature Rudiger Dorn on this list, because there’s a whole bunch of game he designed I would like to at least try. The obvious is Istanbul but I’m very likely buying an app here. Based on that I might end up getting the game eventually. Goa is on my wishlist too. Asante with its Swahili setting is something I would like to play too. Las Vegas is the one I thing should be here tho. The original version is small and simple and fun “area control’ game full of rolling dice and making good and bad decisions. The picture used is from the BGG user Fran F G aka @garea37.

To sum it up, I made this update more to show the shift in my thinking about board games and to show how my tastes has developed. There could be many other games listed, because there are many games I would purchase if there’s a cheap enough copy available. All of the featured games are ones I would love to own, tho.

The Friendliest Treefrog

Patreon | Twitter | Instagram This was a tattoo commission from a friend, of a local treefrog that got a little too friendly and jumped on them. Lots of laughing ensued. This is watermarked because it's a tattoo commission and for the client's use only.
