Synchronized

Figure I should do a little who I am thread. Hi, I’m Synchronized. My only claim to “fame” (if you can call it that) was long ago, in another life (2008ish), I co-hosted & edited a moderately popular podcast called the GamerCast Network: Video Game Show. https://sync76.link/gcnvgs

Got around to trying Cthulhu: Death May Die. Feels like Zombicide with more upkeep. Not necessarily a bad thing but I wish the mob turns were as smooth as the player turns. Felt clunky every time we had to deal with the mobs. #boardgames

Another shot from the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Thailand. No idea what he was selling besides knickknacks, but he had a swagger to him. This was taken in March of 2011. #photos #photo #photography #thailand #damnoensaduak #floatingmarket #travelphotography #travelpics #thailandtravel

Eila and Something Shiny is a cool solo adventure board game. Only played the tutorial, but I like looping event / deck system. Interested in seeing the other mechanisms they add in the campaign. Though it does feel like a one playthrough & done kinda game, low replayability. #boardgames

Snowdale Design's Lands of Galzyr has cool ideas, kinda like a choose-your-own adventure in a cozy low stakes world with dice checks. Between this & Stonemaier's Vantage, I prefer Vantage's narrative flow & mechanics. Though I'd love to a see a PC game version of Galzyr. #boardgames

These were taken on April 14, 2009 after a couple days of rain in Hong Kong. The rain stopped, the sun came out, and I wandered around Central taking #photos of the buildings. The alt text on the photos describes the buildings. #hongkong #photo #photography #architecture #streetphotography

Almost Innocent is a co-op deduction game which is a cross between Clue & I've seen some compare it to Sudoku. I didn't feel Sudoku in this one as much as Tiwanaku, which I feel is a better deduction game & has a competitive mode...I'm not a big fan of co-op games. #boardgames

I'm not sure why La Patisserie Rococo exists. It's said to be a re-imagining of Rococo, which is a game I love, but it feels clunkier than the original, a draft was added per round but thematically I'm not sure why we're drafting the cards (workers), & the UI is a big downgrade. #boardgames
