My June Gaming

 June ended up seeing me learning more games than I really expected. Some of that was from me looking at Board Game Arena for new games. A lot of that was because Button Shy had a wave of play tests that I was able to participate in.


I learned:


Dice Pyramid

The Great American Fox Hunt

Flip Freighters

Forest Rivals (playtest)

61 Leaves of Autumn 

Road Trip Solitaire

Villainopolis 2.0 (playtest)

Astronotl (playtest)


So, on a whole, it was good month.


Like April, I went to Board Game Arena early in the month to make sure I learned something, particularly because I wasn’t sure what the month would be like. Dice Pyramid is pleasant enough that I’ll probably make a hard copy and I was happy to finally play Flip Freighter, which I’ve been meaning to learn since it first came out.


I hadn’t expected Button Shy to be so generous with the playtests. I don’t feel comfortable on going into any details but Villainopolis (renamed Crime Sprawl) and Astronotl are particularly strong. I had jolly good fun.


I had vaguely heard of the season games made for Accessijeux charity but then I learned that they are available as free PnP games. The first one I tried was 61 feuilles d’automne or 61 Autumn Leaves. It was a streamlined, nifty little experience. And now I have learned that Accessijeux exists.


Good month.
