Woke up at 6:30 this morning, delighted to see that my test results came back. I tested negative! Still taking things carefully though (keeping close eye on how I’m feeling, temp checks) as covid does like to be sneaky. Will probably test again in a few days just to be sure. ---

Now waiting on my friend to shake this off. He’s been keeping in touch during his experience and seemingly in good spirits. We did some online gaming last night on our Switches…because, destressing is actually beneficial to one’s well-being. ---

I like to call the snake a “Chonk” 😃 He/She’s (Slink could be a male after all, we’ll see as the snake gets bigger) got a strong grip too, often takes the very tip of the tail and will wrap firmly around my finger to assure he/she does not fall off…kind of like having a harness for fall protection. ---

I’m slowly trying to get a friend into modern gaming…she’s pretty stubborn about it lol…she’s into old games like Rummikub, phase 10, fill or bust, farkle, skip bo etc. etc. To me a lot of her games play too much like each other and are boring. I’m trying to be really slow with her cause I think she’ll be totally close minded to some of the games I’d love to jump into with her. We played a couple of games of Love Letter…but she wasn’t impressed. I think it’s because my version of the game is Batman themed haha, and that just instantly made her dislike it. Tomorrow I’ll try Kingdomino with her…super easy to learn, really simple to play and can be rewarding if you get the tiles you’re looking for. Then I talked her into trying a game called Villainous out because it centers around Disney. Actually looks really fun to me…and it’s a big step up in complexity to anything else we’ve tried…so if she ends up liking it, I think I’ll have a lot more success into getting her into more and more games. Eventually I’m hoping she’ll get into Pandemic with me. I also have all sorts of other games like King Of Tokyo that would be fun, but I think would be an instant turn off for her based solely on the theme. ---

All good, I don’t even know for certain yet - my friend had seen him about a month ago and believed it could be a male based on some more pronounced body features - these little hooks on the snake’s tail area. ---

Kingdomino is a great gateway game. A beginner can understand when they do well, even if they don’t fully grasp the implications for end game scoring. I just came home with Century: Spice Road, another reasonable early game. (I think Splendor might be better for entry.) If you like Pandemic, I highly suggest Forbidden Island (same designer, also co-op). I play that with students and it gets good newbie reviews from them. Edit: The Crew is a co-op trick taking game that is big now. It might appeal to someone familiar with the card games you list, but has enough newness to it that I enjoy it. It really requires three though. (There is a two-player variant included, but I haven’t tried it.) ---

Yeah man, I love Forbidden Island! It’s one of my favorites! I use to play it a lot with my mom and as a solo game. My copy got lost (along with a ton of other board games) when my dad moved (he threw SO much stuff away without even asking if I might want to take any of it). I told my friend about the game, but she didn’t seem all that excited about it…so I’m not sure if I’ll be picking the game back up or not. Splendor is on my very short list of next pick ups! ---
