In 2023 we're going to do a #BoardGamesAToZ challenge.
There's a new letter every two weeks, starting with A on Jan 1. During that fortnight, we'll play at least one game that starts with that letter.
(Yes, we have all the letters covered in our collection. Digits are spelled out, so 7 Wonders is filed under S.)
Who's with us?

@trinsec We've got Xia: Legends of a Drift System.
@peterdrake that sounds like a fun challenge! I'm going to try, but I'll need to order it borrow games to get through all the letters. I may ask you and @htdrake for recommendations.
@peterdrake
I hope that when you get to "H", you'll try Hnefatafl, one of my favorite ancient games.
There are dozens of different historical board sizes and rulesets, but the Copenhagen rules seem to be the most evenly balanced and absorbing.
It's listed on cyningstan(dot)com, and there are Android apps.
@Rmond I don't have a physical copy, but I've played a version of it.
Astonishingly, it doesn't look like anyone has produced an axolotl hnefatafl board.
@peterdrake Mm, which boardgame starts with an X over there?
