  • Played a whole lot of Wingspan this past week. Taught it to two different groups. First was my copy with all the expansions minus Asia. Second was a friend’s base edition. It remains a game I don’t love, but don’t mind playing. Also, played the first Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards game, which was pretty cool. Learned how to play Pollen, so looking forward to playing that soon. Most fun and interesting game I played was a solo one, surprisingly, called Resist! about fighting back against the Franco regime during the Spanish Civil War. Thematically, something I’m very interested in anyway, but the gameplay is tough and enjoyable.

















  • Yeah, the game controls the fascist Falange/Carlists via Event Cards which happen every turn. The three player factions are Anarcho-Syndicalists, Communists, and Moderates. Each has their own priorities, but ultimately if you don’t work together the fascists will win. I highly recommend checking out some videos on it. The YT channel Homo Ludens has a Tabletop Sim play-through with the designer helping as they play.

    I’m not Spanish, though did just visit!
