Raising my son with my wonderful fiancee. In my free time I fly fish, read, and game with friends/family.

In the summer of 2023, while looking into new board games to play, I came across a good local deal on a complete Summoner Wars 1e collection. The comparisons to Heroscape were appealing. Reviews online always recommended house rules for certain aspects (inactivity, destroying own units for magic), and these house rules were serviceable, but after trying the 2nd edition app, we decided to make the shift and haven’t looked back. 2nd edition is a much more balanced and satisfying game.

High Elves really sold me on 2nd edition. Favorite card might be Shonk. He feels like a Heroscape card, and I love showing him to new players and letting them get a dopamine rush from throwing so many dice.

My friends and I loved Heroscape and Yugioh 10 years ago, and in 2023 I found myself missing those gatherings around a tabletop. My fiancee’s family introduced me to Catan, Ticket to Ride, and Wingspan, and the fun experiences with them made me branch out to find more games that they/my friends and I could enjoy. Games we’ve been having fun with recently are Root, Go, Chess, El Grande, MTG Commander, Pax Renaissance, Yugioh, and Carcassonne. If you have a Board Game Arena/TTS account, message me on the Discord and let’s play some games :)
