Got this new card game, Zombie Chickens, last month, and it is SO much fun to play. And so easy to learn. During the day, you build up your farm's defenses to then hopefully defeat the zombie chickens that attack each night. There's a collaborative version, a competitive version and even a solo version. I like all three.

A Northern Flicker has been hanging around my backyard all month. They're such captivating birds, and have such plaintive cries. I hope he sticks around all winter long.
Some other glad things that have happened lately:
- Had another fun game night with my nephews and nieces; we played a rousing round of the Disney game Villains.
- Got my flu shot.
- A record amount of rain fell in Utah in October...a blessing we very much needed.
- BYU's football team is on a winning streak. Go cougs!
- I went on a lovely fall hike with my sister.
- Heard from a friend.
- I also went and saw that new movie Springsteen. It's awesome!
- But my biggest glad thing is all of my blogging friends who bought, downloaded, and read my novella. Your friendship and kindness and support mean the world to me. Thank you!!!
Lark, I always enjoy these posts. Thanks so much for sharing :) Here's to a lovely fall weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi, Nadia! How are you?
DeleteI love seeing different birds in the morning during my walks. I haven't heard of that game! Sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun one. :D
DeleteYay, so many great things! I love that you are close enough that you can hike with you sister.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that we can hang out!
DeleteSounds like you've had a very good week!
ReplyDeleteOctober had its ups and downs, but I'm trying to focus on the positives.
DeleteThere are huge trees flanking my backyard and sometimes flickers can be seen exploring the tree bark, but way up.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool. Do you ever get any downy woodpeckers? I get those in my yard, too.
DeleteAmen.

Have a great week, Regine!
DeleteZombie Chickens sounds like so much fun! And the Northern Flicker is so pretty! :D
ReplyDeleteI love Flickers! It's fun to have different birds hanging around besides sparrows and finches.
DeleteI'm a life long Auburn fan. Football season has not been fun over here. I think we have Zombie Chickens. I'll have to dig it out because I'm not sure we've ever played it. I have never figured out Villains but do love the look of it.
ReplyDeleteOof...Auburn has struggled this year. I'm so sorry. It's no fun when your team isn't winning the way you want them to. And Zombie Chickens is pretty easy to learn to play. I even got my mom to play a few rounds and she's in her 90s.
DeleteZombie Chickens sounds like so much fun! I want to play it for the name alone, haha! Yay for the rain and a hike! I’ve been seeing Northern Flickers in our yard, too! They’re such neat looking birds! I downloaded your novella, too. Just need a little bit of time to read it. I just read Ethan’s review which made me even more excited to read it! :)
ReplyDeleteI bought Zombie Chickens because of the name! ;D And thanks for your friendship and support. The fact that you're reading my novella really means a lot to me.
DeleteThat bird is so cool looking! I am impressed
ReplyDeleteThey are cool birds. And usually solo ones.
DeleteWe have so many birds right now! I heard an unfamiliar bird today but couldn't find it so I have no idea what it was.
ReplyDeleteThat's when you need that Merlin app that identifies bird songs. It's very handy when you can't spot the bird you're hearing.
DeleteThe bird is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNorthern Flickers are favs of mine. :D
DeleteZombie Chickens sounds like a game my nieces would enjoy. And I love the quote - and agree...
ReplyDeleteZombie Chickens is a very fun game. I like that you can play as a team, too.
DeleteWe've had a family of blue birds take up residence in the woods behind our house. I love seeing them at the feeders every day. Also, congrats on the novella! I was happy to read and support.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ethan! Your support does mean a lot to me. And fun to have blue birds near your house. :D
DeleteThat's such a beautiful bird! I'm reading your novella now for Novellas in November and enjoying it so far :)
ReplyDelete:D That makes me so happy to hear.
DeleteI love to see Flickers! The birds are so pretty. Also it's awesome you already saw the Springsteen movie!! I'm a huge Bruce fan so I hope to see it this weekend. Thx for letting me know it's awesome. :-) I'm pumped up.
ReplyDeleteSpringsteen is a fascinating look at his life and his inspiration for his Nebraska album. The actor in it does an amazing job imo.
DeleteZombie Chickens sounds like it could be a hoot.
ReplyDeleteSO much fun! :D
DeleteZombie Chickens sounds like fun. I like the idea of a cooperative version. And how wonderful to have a Northern Flicker in your backyard. It is a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteWe got our flu shorts on Thursday. What a relief.
Yay for getting the flu shot. And the cooperative version of Zombie Chickens is a lot of fun. And more winnable.
