Last year, we dragged along a deckbox filled with print-and-play games… but we never played them because our first hike in the mountains was more intense than anticipated. 😀 So this year, we decided to notch down the trail’s intensity a little and we went to the Mullerthal region in Luxembourg. We had planned to hike two of the three loops in four days, but due to a little injury at the end of day one on my side, we took it a bit easier the following days and we ended up walking route 2 and half of route 3. We were surprised to even come across a tiny board game store in Echternach called The Meeple Monastery! Those board gamers are just everywhere. 😉 If you’d like to see more of our hike in Mullerthal, I’ve also made this short hiking-only video with a bit more footage.

But as the comic suggests, we did play games besides hiking a lot! Our most-played game is Circle the Wagons because of how quick, simple, and fun it is. Another one of our favorites is Confusing Lands, which no longer is a PnP-game but now has a physical release! Skulls of Sedlec is also a charming fun game that we played a few times and we played one game of Liberation, which I do like the clever game design of but I was a little too low in energy to nail the memory part (mostly remembering which cards the other player has played) and that made it feel frustrating. Not the game’s fault, just not the right moment for it. If you’d like to learn more about the games, we’ve discussed them in these two earlier posts.

This week, we’re excited to play Undaunted 2200: Callisto and we received our Kickstarter deluxe edition of Paperback that contains a card I designed (aaaah!), also looking forward to playing that. 🙂
