Odds & Ends from Becca's Crazy Projects

We went away for the weekend so this post will have some of everything. I did some crochet in the car. this is Red Heart All in One Granny Square. This is one of those love/hate yarns. It may take some practice to get the square to come out perfectly.

We went to New Jersey and attended DexLite by Double Exposure. This gaming convention is a great way to try out new games and play old favorites with like-minded people. Everyone gets a set of dice at check-in and I picked these.

The hotel had a pride display up ...

Travel from Becca's Crazy Projects

Last weekend we traveled to Morristown, NJ, to participate in Metatopia 2023. We played new games with new friends, attended seminars about machine learning systems and listened to the flesh and bone artists this technology aims to put out of business.

There was also so much food. We went to Pierogies House for dinner.

I walked in the nearby park.

We had more delicious food. The chicken sliders - with house-made chips - were a fun lunchtime treat from The Horseshoe Tavern.

And more walking in the park.

Game Night: Marvel United from Becca's Crazy Projects

This past weekend we had friends over for dinner and games. We plated a couple games but this was the one with the best art. This is the She Hulk character.

The game is Marvel United. We've played it a few times. Each time we seem to pick the wrong heroes once or twice before we can manage to beat the big bad. On this occasion I think we failed twice and decided to change games.

Game Vault from Becca's Crazy Projects

What is a game vault? It is a thing that gamers want. Role playing gamers. Board gamers. Gamer geeks of many types. A fully built game table can cost thousands of dollars. And I don't mean just a couple thousand. Some tables can run more than $10,000.00. I don't have the budget, or burning desire for such a table. I do however have some minor skills and math ability. During my research into the subject, I came across a cheaper option that anyone can make with some hand tools. I got this great idea from The ...

Meeples and Monsters from Becca's Crazy Projects

In case you don't know, I love a good board game Kickstarter. Meeples and Monsters from AEG is one of those board games.

The finish on everything in this box is just awesome! Look at these bags. So many times everything in a Kickstarter project is great except they cheap-out on the bags for dice, or pieces. These are big enough to get your hand into easily.

Printed meeples are necessary for this game but they add a little to the overall finish. Yes, some of those are just gray, which is intentional. We call those the drunken meeples ...

Game Night from Becca's Crazy Projects

It has been over a year since we sat down for in-person dinner and games with our friends. Saturday marked the first weekend everyone was fully vaccinated so we celebrated with dinner and games.

I only have a few photos as we were having too much fun playing games and catching up. This is the board for Canvas, a card drafting strategy game. It was quick to learn and kept us entertained. The base game is available on Amazon (link at the end of the post).

This is a view of the table when we played Mountain Goats. This was ...

Board Game Recommendations from Goer

My family enjoys board games and we've been playing them nearly daily for months while we've been home during the pandemic. My son is 10 and my daughter is 8. My husband and I are in our 40s. ;-) Here are a few of our favorites. (Affiliate links are included in this post.)

Our Newest Game

I'd heard Trash Pandas recommended over and over again so it was on my board game wish list. My son ended up picking it out for my daughter as a Hanukkah gift. She opened it up Thursday evening and we played our ...
