Day 6 of #spielmas found us hosting a New Year’s Eve party, but we managed to play a couple of games of Splendor before things got super busy. Thanks to @haoleboygames.com for hosting another great year of @spielmas.com and thanks to everyone who participated and shared your fun photos! #boardgames

I was surprised for day 5 of #spielmas when my daughter, unprompted, grabbed Planet and Calico from my shelf and asked to play them. Planet has been sitting unplayed for a while, and I’d been wanting to teach my girls to play Calico, so we dove right in. #boardgames @spielmas.com

Day 4 of #spielmas found me home alone for most of the day but I didn’t let that stop me from celebrating. I played an epic game of Final Girl that came down to the final health tokens. After dinner, everybody was pretty tired but we managed to play a quick game of Flip 7. #boardgames @spielmas.com

We broke out a classic for #spielmas day 3. I haven’t played Carcassonne in 5 years so I sat down with my wife and kids and played a couple games. My youngest daughter won the first game and my eldest daughter won the second. #boardgames @spielmas.com

Day 2 of #spielmas was celebrated with family over a game of The Gallerist. Quite a bit heavier than the games we played yesterday, but I’ve been wanting to get this to the table again for some time. #boardgames @spielmas.com

Kicking off #spielmas 2025 with a couple of my favorites. We had some close friends over for MLEM and Cascadia and had a great time. #boardgames @spielmas.com

We do! The term is "game night."

Reddit post: “Does the community have a term for when you have a game night and no one except the host is focused on the game?”

netflix should go back to having three shows that everyone watches instead of a million shows that nobody watches

a big difference between saturday night when you're young and saturday night when you're no longer young is the meaning of ten o'clock. young ten o'clock means the night is really getting started. not young ten o'clock means sad because want to drink tea but can't do tea after 9 o'clock

As we close out 2024, we also close out the fifth annual @spielmas.bsky.social festival. Tonight we celebrated with some friends and played a few games, ate some delicious food, and indulged in a few cocktails. Thanks to @haoleboygames.bsky.social for the festival! Happy New Year! #boardgames

We had another great @spielmas.bsky.social night at home with Apropos of Movies, Go Nuts for Donuts, and another game of Monkey Palace, this time with all 4 of us. Only one more night of #spielmas remains, and with some friends coming over for New Year’s Eve festivities, it should be a good time.

Day 4 of @spielmas.bsky.social is upon us and I had a chance to sit down and learn Monkey Palace, a game that utilizes Lego for components. The rulebook was a little difficult for us to parse, but the @watchitplayed.tv video on YouTube is excellent and answered all our questions.

Day 3 of @spielmas.bsky.social was a busy day for us, but I found time to sit down with my daughters after dinner for a light game of That’s Not a Hat, a game I received in this year’s @boardgamegeek.com Secret Santa exchange. We played a total of 4 rounds and loved it! #spielmas #boardgames

Day 2 of @spielmas.bsky.social was celebrated with Nusfjord and Nova Luna, two of my favorite Uwe Rosenberg games. I first learned about SpielMas while attending a virtual Nova Luna game with @haoleboygames.bsky.social back in 2020, so this felt like a nice return to the festival’s roots for me. ⛄️

We celebrated the first day of @spielmas.bsky.social by revisiting the classic real-time dice game Escape: The Curse of the Temple. My wife and both my daughters made it out alive while I got stuck a few tiles away from the exit. #boardgames

I ate there once with some coworkers back when they first opened. It seemed overpriced and disappointing so I never went back.

Hi! Do you spend most of Game Night staring at the shelf, pondering what to play next? I do. Insufferably. So I made a site, GameNightPicks.com, so my group can vote on what we play next. Much less shelf-staring now. And you're welcome to use it, too! If you like it, please help spread the word!

if there was a tax that fined you $100,000 per year if you weren't wealthy, then fewer people would be poor. they'd want to avoid that tax

Jen and I saw this at the Idaho International Film Festival one year a long time ago and we still talk about it to this day.
