XCOM - The Long War Files

I recently became obsessed with XCOM: Enemy Unknown and decided to try out the player made overhaul known as "Long War" which expands the base game to be exceptionally difficult and in most regards more like an actual war. I decided to blog the exploits of my team in a yet unnamed project. I'd like each post in the series to be a stand-alone short story about the experiences of those involved - with some scattered pictures of the mission highlights. One of the greatest parts of the XCOM series is the stories it generates about these characters and their ordeals. I hope to capture some of that and share it here in this writing project.

This is a short bonus track about how I got to fulfill a childhood fantasy years after I forgot about it. I hope you enjoy it, thank you for listening.

All Aboard!

What's going on everyone!?


Today for the #2019gameaday challenge I played a solo game of Ticket to Ride. 

It wasn't a very high scoring game but at least I can say I won, lol. 

I'm hoping tomorrow we'll actually have some time to sit down and play a game together since we didn't get to for family game night.


As always, thank you for reading and don't forget to stop and smell the meeples! :)
