Did someone say board games? Tiny Epic's

So, we have established that myself and my hubby watch TableTop on YouTube, and that we love playing board games. Well, have you heard of the Tiny Epic games? No, then you are missing out! The Tiny Epic series are great for short play times and for small spaces (easy to travel). These are dice rolling games and the dice are tossed into the cover of the game box.

Tiny Epic Galaxies is the first of this gaming line that we picked up. It was a birthday gift for my hubby because he was really interested in playing this game after seeing it explained by Wil Wheaton on TableTop in SE4. You gain and spend energy & culture to gain more spaceships & gain planets to gather points to win the game. Seems a little complicated, but once you have one run through your able to grasp how the game plays out.

The second Tiny Epic game that we picked up is Tiny Epic Kingdoms. Watch it Played has an excellent tutorial on YouTube. This game plays out differently than Tiny Epic Galaxies because there are meeples, but it is just as fun. Each player has a their own kingdom, and each kingdom has it's own special advantages. The resources are ore (red), manna (green) and food (yellow). And you use these resources to battle.

That's all for the Tiny Epic games. If you have played, do you have a favorite version? If so, let me know in the comments.

Later Days,

Sci-Fi on the Rock

Hi folks, Last weekend myself and Mandi attended, and hosted an event and panel at this years Sci-Fi on the Rock for our Welcome to Deadhouse Goosebumps book club ( #GBCGhostNextDoor on Twitter). This adventure all started with suggestions from our spouses. So, we came up with a few ideas, went through the application process and waited. We are new to the event and panelist, and our YouTube book club is under a year old - so we figured that we didn't have much of a shot of being accepted. Then the email came. We were accepted as panelist. For both ideas that we submitted. Oh snap! Oh snap! OH SNAP! Planning the panels was super fun. We love the Goosebumps series and we were able to create a plan that we were both happy with. The "Reader Beware, You Choose the Scare!" event was first - it was the first evening of the event, and scheduled to be 2 hours long. Here we read through the Diary of the Mad Mummy, and backtracked 4 times to get 4 diff...

October Staycation

This past week my hubby and I had a staycation. We love Fall - and it's for this reason that we always take a week or so off to enjoy it. During our week off we gorged on Little Caesars Stuffed Crazy Bread and Cinnamon rolls (nom nom nom carbs lol). Purchased a few new aquarium inhabitants, including 3 snails, 3 Odessa Barbs, 3 Skirt Tailed Tetra Glowfish, and a Kheli Loach. So far, one of the Tinfoil Barbs has tried to immediately pick up and eat the loach, and tried to pull a snail off the glass of the aquarium. We are doing fish counts daily until the Tinfoil Barbs lose interest. We also took a drive through Swift Current to Marystown to do some sightseeing. Along this route are a few lookouts. We did stop at one of them, however, the binoculars that were stationed here were broken (maybe sandblasted by the wind sweeping over the area?) There seems like there is nothing special about this area. But, this is the only area of thi...

Maternity Leave - thus far

Life with a newborn is busy, but honestly - I thought that I would be busier. The weather this Fall has been amazing! It's making is easier to get out with the little guy - walking, shopping, playgroup and movies. There is so much to do and it's how I break up the days. We're grateful that there is a family resource center close by that has free drop-in activities for infants, toddlers and up. Meeting new moms who have a little one close to the age of mine is fantastic. Aside from socializing with other adults (which you miss when not going to work daily), you get to ask questions, share experiences, and get to know people that you may be seeing throughout the school year when the littles are older. And, our movie theater has baby and parent movies every week. There are two new movie offerings each Wednesday morning, and the movie starts at a decent time - which allows time to get me and the little ready for the day and out the door. Maternity leave here in Ca...
