Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is a wonderful take on HP where instead of being raised by a family full of hate and dysfunction, the parents are scientists. Harry then brings the Scientific Method to Hogwarts and analyzes how magic works. He also becomes friends with Draco! Highly recommended.

Just totaled up the number of #boardgames I played in 2024. 272 games of 54 different games! I played Sky Team the most, with 57 plays. Followed by Sleeping Gods (29 plays), Pandemic Season 2 (23), Regicide (20), Pandemic Season 0 (19).

I think my favorite game moment was during Pandemic Season 0 (the briefcase). That shouldn't be enough to spoil anything.

Hope you all had fun gaming last year.

Played my first game of Splendor: Duel. Sufficiently different from the original. The gem board is a small game in itself. Quite fun!
