  • Charly, Skåne, Innovation

    What an efficient session today! I brought four games, and all got played. That’s rare and pleasant. After a quick loss in Roll through the Ages (the shorter non-expansion game is certainly short), we moved to Charly. Charly is a quick filler where there’s food and animals, and those need to be matched. It’s a…

These are must have, and fortunately published by friendly folks at Lautapelit.fi. No trouble getting them, that is. I’m sort of tempted by the limited edition of 7…
