Compliments for Humans:

"For a thing so full of blood, it's amazing you don't slosh when you walk."

"Three breath-holes? Now you're just showing off."

"The way you move makes it hard to believe you're stuffed with bones."

"Wow, that's a lot of skin, but you really make it work."

01.01. Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Baker Street Irregulars

Final score = 100. Perfect 160 for our solution minus 60 for 12 leads more than Holmes. Our best score ever!

Our final discussion perfectly captured how this game should feel: Nailing down different aspects of the crime, each person contributing different insights that they remembered from the clues, until we had a complete and cohesive story.

#Board Games

Since our 2023 board game challenge was wide and shallow, we're going narrow and deep in 2024 with a 10x10.

We decided not to lock in all 10 titles up front so there is room for new discoveries.

We're also going to try to mix it up between games that have a campaign to create variety and games with strategic depth we want to explore.

No rules on when each title will be started / completed, or who / where / how we play, so long as we log 10 plays during 2024.

It wasn't originally constitutionally required, but presidents who served two terms have traditionally followed George Washington's example and gotten false teeth.

Lots of variety in December. Earthborne Rangers was a disappointment, and echoes: The Dancer was really more of an audio jigsaw puzzle than a game, but that was more than balanced out by the satisfaction of successfully completing our 2023 #BoardGamesAtoZ challenge.

"How's it going?"

Can't complain:
- boring
- passive aggressive
- insecure

The horrors persist yet so do I
- badass
- active
- might involve swordplay

Oh, you need screws? What kind?
We got drywall lads, uh… sheetrock men… or do you just need some—

2024 is going to be better because we're going to make it so.
