  • Monday night’s game: Perseverance: Castaway Chronicles, Episode 3. Would like to play again, the “how do I actually get points” felt a little obscure(d) (the individual goal cards don’t get you many). #boardgames

    View from the end of a very full table, in the foreground a group of coloured dice with icons on, a player board with some dinosaur and ranger figures, in the background stacks of cards, a large board that shows four columns of city dice-action spots, and a map of wilderness exploration trained-dino spots

  • Fixing things: I 3d printed this backpack hanger in Dec 2021, 3.5 years constant use isn’t bad! How long will the replacement last? Design from www.thingiverse.com/thing:422… #thingiverse #3dprinting

  • Monday’s #boardgame pics (all behind this week, I blame bank hols!). We played Perseverance, the castaway chronicles, episodes 1 and 2.

    Perseverance, Castaway chronicles, Episode one mid-game. The board shows a beach with various worker-placement (dice) locations which can be used to gather resources, send out soldies on patrol, train more soldiers. After the beach there are defensive positions for soldiers and walls, and attacking dinosaur modelsPerseverance, Castaway chronicles, Episode two end-game. The board for episode 2 has similar worker placement spots to episode 1, but now they are behind a fortified wall and safe from attack. To capture dinosaurs there are extra missions out into the wilderness beyond the wall, and also, for some reason, a temple in the jungle

    End stage of the game "Galactic Cruise", a large board with pastel coloured design, blue, yellow, green and pink player meeples occupy worker spots for collecting and building spaceship parts, and planning space criuises. Orange, Blue and Purple "guest" meeples wait at the edge of the board. Each player has a sub board tracking their progress and several assembled space ships

  • I don’t usually cook a lot, have been trying #pinchofnom “All in one” lately, recommended for cooks with less time to spare. Latest recipe, Tuna, Pepper and Potato bake. Takes about 50min (book says 40), if using frozen onions and peppers, tastes good, 4/5 #cooking

    The Pinch of Nom, All in one book cover, coloured tabs marking pages can be seen sticking out the top edge

In the foreground some pastel coloured passenger pieces lurk, beyond that potential cruises and ship parts. In the middle are worker placement spots and various placed player technology gears. In the background there is a tea tray and an enormous (750ml) mugGalactic Cruise board game box, in the foreground is a large rocket, behind it a planet with smaller rockets taking off.
