Texas Spiny Lizard!
This summer when I did a day trip to Austin I saw a whole bunch of Texas Spiny Lizards. The most impressive thing about them was how well they managed to blend in with the rocks and trees. I haven’t seen any near us in Houston though down here there is like an infinite supply of geckos and anoles.

Tiny Epic Kingdom Preview!
I got my hands on an early copy of Tiny Epic Kingdom and I loved it! The production quality on the finished game is simply fabulous. Gamelyn Games definitely does custom meeples better than any other company I’ve seen which is awesome cause meeples are one of my favorite things to photograph!
Earlier this year I previewed the game and talked to its designer Scott Almes so if you want to know more about it make sure you check it out. Otherwise enjoy the photos!

The 1,000 Followers Give Away!
I hit 1,000 followers on twitter today so I thought it would be fun to do a little contest.
As rewards I’ll be giving away…
Cupcakes vs. Brownies
A copy of my hot new book! Of course if you don’t win it you can still head over to Amazon and buy a copy!
Peaberry Coffee
I’m a coffee nut and one of my favorite coffees is peaberry. So whom ever wins this will get a 10oz bag!
Sushi Go!
We’ve played a lot of Sushi Go! It’s a quick drafting game that’s great for introducing new gamers to gaming or even as a filler to play between meatier games.
Hanabi
Hanabi is both fun and aggravating. It’s a co-op where players hold their cards backwards thus they can see what everyone else has but can’t see what they have. It’s quick simple and easy to bust out during a lot of occasions.
To Enter:
Simply head over to Twitter and follow me! Then retweet the following message:
Follow @ScottKing & RT this for a chance to win some board games, coffee, & a book! #ScottDrinksTooMuchCoffee http://www.scottking.info/blog/2014/0...
I’ll pick the winners this Friday at 11:59p.m. (September 12th) So you have from now until then to follow me and get your retweet in!
Notes:
I’ll cover the cost to ship Cupcakes vs. Brownies worldwide however the winners of the other prizes must be US residents.

Mount Bonnell Panorama!
Note: Click the Pic to Enlarge it!
Last month when I visited Austin, we checked out Mount Bonnell. The river you see in the photo is the Colorado River and the houses lining the shores are HUGE multi-million dollar mansions. The roads along the river are sharp, curvy, and with the fancy houses it reminded me of Hollywood Hills, outside of L.A.
The whole area around Austin was gorgeous and I know that they have a few caves and hot springs. I really wish we had gone for more than a day trip so that I could have gotten some nice blue-hour photos. Its definitely on our list of places to re-visit.
