Offline - Pandemic (of course!), Bunny Kingdom (honestly, it's great) and Carcassonne.

I am playing Journeys in Middle Earth board game. Just invested in the mini expansion app Hunt for the Ember Crown, and will be trying that out as soon as I got the shopping. Albeit, IF I can get the shopping. I.e. if there is anything left,

I am prepping for a Saddlesore 1000, my entrance exam for membership in the "Iron Butt Association".

I took a two hour ride (an hour out and an hour back) because I ran out of Bailey's Irish Cream and all the liquor stores in PA are closed... so I went to Wierton WV where the Internet said the liquor store was open.

It wasn't.

But it was sunny and the temp hit 77 yesterday so on balance it was a great bit of preparation!

I am in the mid stages of creating a board game with the working title: Escape from East Berlin. The game is set in the early 80s at the height of East German communist rule.

One player takes on the roles of the East German Stasi and the Border Police. The Stasi have significant powers to blackmail, detain, question and imprison dissidents, in order to undermine and prevent their escape plans. The Border Police try to capture escaping dissidents or, if all else fails, shoot them.

The other players (up to five) take on the roles of dissident groups, who try to get as many of their members over the Berlin Wall into the free West.

The board is a central section of East Berlin with the Wall and border defences and the neighbourhoods close to it, including streets, shops, cafés, restaurants, cultural sights, the river Spree, factories, ministries and the infamous Stasi prison.

Some of the inspiration for the game comes from the old classic "Escape from Colditz" game, but my game is considerably more complex and should be a lot more interactive and cooperative for the dissidents and also a lot more fun for the "bad guy".

Sounds interesting. Would you consider an AI for the bad guy, so players can coop play or solo?

Brilliant. Can't wait the game to play the first time. Do you need beta-testers? :?

Other than that I play quite often Orbiter, which is rather a simulation. A great and quite realistic space simulation (freeware).

And in between I play Jass, a typical Swiss card game, both RL and online. And Go, then and when.

On my computer I've been playing Football Manager 2020 Touch.

I just bought Animal Crossing for the Switch. My wife and I have been playing that a lot. She a lot more than I though.
