Thought I’d give you a little breather from the yearly hash tag shenanigans on here with a little update on the collection.

Last week I finally got my hands on a copy of the Portal boardgame.

I bought this off a friend. There was only one way I could address the envelope with the agreed sum within (see below).

The plan is to finish off my posts on the video game (I’ve not forgotten, just not had the time), then write about playing the boardgame.

I did order a copy of Santorini New York via Amazon.com. Which should arrive by next week.

I had to order it from the US of A because this rethemed version of the two player classic never got a release on these shores. Copies have found their way here. But never in any quantity.

GenCon has been and gone (just, it finished yesterday). The FFG in-flight stuff was very uninspiring. Their big surprise/teaser at the end was a Star Wars deck builder. But obviously no more details on that at the moment.

However finding out Twilight Inscription was a roll and write set in the Twilight Imperium universe got me interested in this when it releases next month.

From what I can gather after the in-flight chat about the game, and watching a GameBoy Geek video on the game, it most definitely falls on the heavier side of the roll and write spectrum.

Heck each player gets four player boards to manage! Which are double sided. One side is identical for everyone. The other unique. So you get to decide how everyone plays the game, whether every starts off the same, or with slightly different boards.

So I’m totally sold on this.

I just needed the Genesys Twilight Imperium source book to be released. It’s nearly a year late at the moment!
