Some lighter stuff but also some meaty games
BGA almost matched by in person games
Wow so glad for Bulgaria. So uncomfortable with Israel. #EurovisionSongContest
#Eurovision favorites
I really enjoy #Eurovision but this year I couldn’t believe how off key people were, especially in comparison to their Spotify recordings.
Today’s highlights were Finland, Sweden, Poland and Moldova (shaky cam rap) but I’m really most interested in Romania (best song)- Choke, France (maybe best vocalist) - Regarde, and Switzerland (really good vocals)- Alice
I’d wager on the latter favorites and I don’t feel the praise for Serbia that other commenters felt.

Lots of embargoed prototypes but many good new games
Played Feya’s Swamp last night published by Grail games. It’s a pretty interesting 2-4p swamp themed, with asymmetric powers game of building settling in a swamp. The mechanics are interesting with beginning each turn with a guide and balancing money and points while trying to be the first to certain achievements. I liked it. Good but not stand out great. Thinky but not overtly long.
