As for Wingspan, I do have the European expansion but have only gone through the tutorial on it.
Happy to play with that expansion if that’s your choice, @Hardco!

I’ve sent an invite our for the European expansion, but it doesn’t look like anyone has joined it yet.
I’ll take you up on Concordia sometime, but I’m sticking to my guns on Viticulture!
I am really tempted to try Concordia, I have watched ‘how to play’ videos a couple times and it seems fairly straight forward, which I like. How is the mobile implementation and especially, how well is async and notifications?
On Concordia:
I haven’t played the tabletop version so can’t compare the app to that, but after 3 or 4 async games I think the overall implementation and async play are good. Acram for the win!
And, yes, the basic gameplay is pretty easy to pick up. Strategy is not heavy either, but again with the variety of actions and the fact they can benefit other players, there can definitely be some fun decisions to make.
My only “complaint” is the price. I should know as well as anyone that margins are thin in the digital (board game) market but Acram seems to go a little too pricey in general for my tastes as a consumer.
I’ll keep my list as-is.
Invite received - looks like we our waiting for @JMH.75 to pick starting cards/food. Happy gaming!
Looking forward to a Concordia with @Hardco and @kennfusion - let’s say after our fast moving Gaia Project is over for the Decathlon and we have to wait a month for the last table to finish!
Ok, if Hardco is in, I will pick it up. I just watched another video on it this morning and the game looks like something I would like.
I won’t offer a refund, but I’ll be surprised if you don’t like it. Definitely a strong candidate for one of the final Decathlon games, IMO!
Yeah, I’ll play. I may need to watch a video to wrap my head around what’s going on in the game though.
You all started?
Yes, the game is on!
Good game all! The European expansion didn’t really change up how I played the game, but the new water bird that took up two spaces in the habitat gave me an early jump on my engine by getting me to the Draw 2 cards action without having to lay eggs or play two birds. Definitely the MVP for me this match.
Ok, and @Hardco is now the King again. Next challenger is @JammaTal
Please challenge Hardco to a game from his list:
Through the Ages
Agricola
Castles of Burgandy
Gaia Project
Brass
Puerto Rico
Wingspan
Once you decide the game, I will let you know who the 3rd player is.
Agreed on all counts - it was a good game, that card was MVP, and the European cards added some variety but didn’t really change the game (which I count as good.)
For me it was one of those games where the 4th round ended up being “most efficient” if I just took the same action over and over - usually it’s Lay Eggs but this time for me collecting cards was a guaranteed 3 points and possibly 4 per turn. I never got a card that would have been worth the effort to get food and use eggs to play. I also had a fairly poor “points per bird” average this time in trying to get some of the round goals.
But I still enjoyed the game and of course kudos to @Hardco for regaining the throne! (Hardco II? )
Here’s the detailed break down for those that like that sort of thing…
let it be Brass!
Good choice, this is the first time Brass has been selected in the league. Your third will be @Caradog so please arrange a game with him and @Hardco and let me know once it has been started.
@Codington and @JMH.75 please let me know if you would like to make any changes to your game list.
@Caradog and @Hardco,
i have created game “King of the Hill” with password “stately”.
(i know that many think password-protected game creation is lame and outdated, but i prefer it a lot over complicated “making friends” and “friendslist” concepts which can take days for arranging and confirming hence and forth.)
let’s have fun and improve-a-lot!
I’m good for my list for now. Tempted to work in Gaia Project but can’t find one that I want to take out. Mostly because I’m hoping to get a Viticulture or Isle of Skye in there to give them some play time!
But it takes days to scroll to the bottom of the list of never-joined games of Brass filling up the lobby…
