nosrednaydujI went to the annual board game event in Vermont, which I'm blogging about so I remember in January to put it in my "places I slept" list; some previous year I forgot, and nearly missed it. (Some things are important? Not really.)
I had a good time; there was board gaming, there was square dancing, I brought my bicycle and biked to New Hampshire (it's only 4 miles away). I successfully charged the Kia at a random fast charging place in Lebanon NH on the way there. This particular place was selected because it's halfway to Montréal, where I am going in July for a square dance, and there's some thought about using my car for the trip, carpooling with some others. So I wanted to make sure that it would actually work out.
Anyway, on the way home we passed under two separate protests on overpasses, saying things like "no liars war" in three foot-high letters attached to the overpass fencing, one on 89 and one on 93. I managed to see both of them in time to give little supportive toots.

Ark Nova: I need to play this again sooner than a year from now while I still remember the things I learned about strategy while being trounced. (My only previous play was a year ago at this same event.)
Concept: fun but frustrating to find appropriate icons
Everdell or something like that (it has a cardboard tree at the edge of the board): I took over someone's position who had to leave and it was really random trying to learn how it worked and what all the options were, but they'd left me in a good position and we came in 2nd.
R-Eco
Fine Sand
...and probably some others.
Plus we got to set up to watch the splashdown with a nice projector setup and we did a jigsaw puzzle during the slow bits.
