Another month is in the books, and this time I'm on top of things and ready to recap my board game plays promptly!
For May, I ended up with 87 plays spread across 19 different game titles. Here's the graphic (taken from my Instagram account):
I played four new-to-me games in the month of May:
- Finspan
- Unmatched: Slings & Arrows
- Unmatched: Battle of Legends - Volume Three
- Lands of Amazement
Finspan is a tableau builder all about fish. My son and I have enjoyed our first three plays of the game quite a bit. Finspan is similar to Wingspan, but I must say the fish theme spoke to me more. I've played Wingspan exactly once, but it was so long ago now I can't really compare the two games. That said, I do now own Wingspan, so hopefully I'll get that to the table soon, and then I'll be able to wax poetically on the similarities and differences between the two games.
The two Unmatched games were both exactly what you'd expect from the series (quality components, interesting and asymmetrical characters, etc.).
Finally, Lands of Amazement is a solo game from Button Shy Games. This little 18-card game took me a moment to wrap my head around the rules, but once I did, I realized that the game is actually a very thinky puzzle game.
That does it for May! My son was hit and miss in terms of wanting to play board games this month, so that's why there are so many solo games! Thank goodness for solo options, I still have my "Play a Game Every Day" goal alive and kicking!
