Monthly Update - March 2019


Read 50 Graphic Novels (Last Year 52) (5+1=6):
  1. Amulet Vol 8 SC
  2. Beasts of Burden Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men
  3. Harrow County Library Edition Vol 2 HC
  4. Faith Vol 1 HC
  5. Archer & Armstrong Vol 2 HC
    Play At Least 25 New Boardgames (Last Year 75) (5+3=8):
    1. Call to Adventure - The third game from Brotherwise Games, and I've loved every one, but this may be my favorite, edging out Unearth. 1-4 players start out with a background, and then build up their adventurer's life by throwing runes to pick up cards that flesh out their journey, as it gets more and more epic. By the end, in my first game, I had tried to become king and successfully defeated a colossus and a fire elemental. Beautiful artwork and great design, and a nice competitive game that's not directly competitive, in a way I haven't seen before.
    2. Ghostbusters: The Card Game - A quick play, fun card game for Ghostbusters fans.
    3. Detective: A Modern Crime Game - Cooperative game where 3-5 players play detective, using a dedicated website (as well as the actual Internet) to try and follow clues and deduce a story, with some over-arching elements for five total stories. It was really difficult, but super-rewarding.
    4. Tiny Epic Zombies - So much game play, different modes, customization, and maybe the most amazing meeples ever
    5. Death Wish - A party game where you try to catch diseases and die first. As inappropriate as Cards Against Humanity or What Do You Meme? but with a little more grossout humor. To be honest, not 100% my thing, but a lot of people will love it.
