"Roll Through the Ages: Iron Age" by Matt Leacock and Eagle-Gryphon Games with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social who beat me on ports and developments over my provinces and monuments

"Lord's of Baseball" by Max Jamelli and Mr. B Games in a 3p session including @kbowenwriter.bsky.social whose Philadelphia franchise won - really love this game - smoother with each play
