Slow

Muddling my way through a game using Inside Pitch.

I’ve been playing so much Ball Park Baseball that it’s hard to adjust to another game, but it’s slowly coming back to me.

I actually did a ‘save game’ with the BallScore app because it was taking me so long to play.  I may stop again tonight.

Arrgh.  These games are supposed to be for me to relax, not feel like work.

Stay tuned.

Reflections

I started playing table top games regularly when I decided to get reacquainted with Strat-O-Matic basic baseball.

I though that would be it.  The dice tower/tray that I built (PepsiCo Park) was inspired by other player’s Strat-O-Matic-themed creations.

But then, through my brother, I discovered PLAAY Games’ Red White & Blue Racing, which led to History Maker Baseball, which further led to about half a dozen other baseball games that I’ve tried, and almost a dozen more that I haven’t, along with various football, basketball, hockey, soccer, golf, wrestling, and other sports.

Quite a library of games I’ve built up over the years, and who knows when/if I’ll get around to all of them.

But that’s my plan.

Stay tuned!
