Set up for my 1st go of 'The Plum Island Horror' by @gmtgames.bsky.social . It's a bit complicated and rules-heavy for me, so I'm going to watch a few playthrough videos first, as there are many steps to each turn. I have also backed the expansion on their P500 system. #boardgames #boardgamesky

A high-angle shot shows the board game "The Plum Island Horror" set up on a large, blue-neoprene mat gaming table, ready for play. The central game board depicts a detailed map of Plum Island with various locations, pathways, and illustrations of buildings and natural features. Several small, standee-style game pieces representing characters and monsters are placed across the board.

To the left of the main board, there's a vertical stack of red-backed game tokens in a tray, and below it, two large, horizontally oriented player mats with character information, abilities, etc.

To the right of the main board, a set of three gray card trays holds various game cards with different colored backs, indicating different decks. Below these trays, there's another player mat with character tokens and additional game information.

In the upper center, the game box for "The Plum Island Horror" is visible, featuring evocative artwork of a stormy island scene and grotesque creatures. In the background are shelves filled with numerous other board games, suggesting a dedicated gaming space. The overall lighting is warm, illuminating the game components clearly and highlighting the intricate details of the board and cards.

"Open the Pod Bay doors, Hal." One of my fav films of all time in a board game? YES PLEASE! '2001: A Space Odyssey | The Board Game' by @philwh.bsky.social and @themaestroteam.bsky.social is a 1-against-many game of cat and mouse aboard the Discovery. So cool! #boardgames #boardgamesky

The board game box for "2001: A Space Odyssey" stands upright on a blue textured surface. The black box cover is dominated by a large, fish-eye lens. Reflected within the lens is the glowing red "eye" of the HAL 9000 computer and the faint silhouette of an astronaut. Three white and purple EVA pods float around the lens against a dark, star-filled space background. The bottom of the box lists the designer, Phil Walker-Harding, and the publisher, Maestro Media.

Let's Delve! Set up for a solo run of 'Kinfire Delve Calous' Lab' by @kevinwilson42.bsky.social and @incredibledream.bsky.social, while I wait for a 3D print to finsh so I can start another. Love this game: somehow fun and tactical while easy to learn and quick to play. #boardgames #boardgamesky

The board game 'Kinfire Delve' is set up for a solo game on a textured blue surface. In the background, the game box stands upright. The central play area has cards laid out in a cross pattern.

Tried out the solo automa (Killbot 3000) for Spooktacular by @level99games.com tonight, and loved it! It's a fairly light game, but a lot of fun. My only issue is that the meeples which you "Devour" are not very coloblind-friendly. But I get by. #boardgames #boardgaming #boardgamesky

A close-up, angled overhead shot of a solo board game setup for 'Spooktacular' on a gaming table with a bright blue, textured neoprene mat.

In the center is the game board, which has a dark purple and black color scheme, depicting the layout of a spooky location with various rooms and paths. Small, colorful player pieces and cubes are scattered across the board.

The 'Spooktacular' game box is propped up vertically at the far end of the board, serving as a backdrop. To the right of the box, a large, purple, multi-sided die and a red component tray are visible.

In the foreground, arranged below the board, are various game components:

On the left, a player mat for the Killer Car character, with a deck of cards and a large, white-handled magnifying glass resting beside it.

In the center, a black cloth bag with "SPOOKTACULAR" printed in a stylized blue font. Next to it is the automa card for "KILLTRON 3000," which features a vintage poster-style illustration of a blue robot. Four ticket-shaped tokens sit above the bag.

On the right, another player area is set up with four small stacks of cards.

The background is a shelf packed with numerous other board game boxes, indicating a larger collection.

It's been a few weeks since I last played it, but I'm all set up for another solo run of 'Moon Colony Bloodbath'. Love this tableau building/destroying game, and the art and card text is great! #boardgames #boardgamesky

On my wishlist for a while, I picked up 'Vale of Eternity' and the 'Artifacts' expansion by @mandoogames-en.bsky.social, locally. I had already printed out a superb organizer for the game. It was on my wishlist for WAY too long, and I've heard it's great! #boardgames #boardgamsky #valeofeternity

The board game "The Vale of Eternity" and its "Artifacts" expansion box are displayed side-by-side on a blue surface. The main game box on the left features artwork of a large, golden and white dragon with antlers, while the smaller expansion box on the right shows a robed figure gazing into a cave. Placed side-by-side they create a continuous panorama of the artwork flowing from the main game box, to the expansion's box.

A close-up shot of four custom, 3D printed token holders in a light teal color. The holders are designed as to keep each players' components separate, and are filled with various thick wooden game tokens, each marked with a unique symbol, and covered with the rectangular carboard token for that matches the components. The "Vale of Eternity" game box is visible but blurred in the background.

The "Vale of Eternity" board game box, now fitted with a full, custom 3D printed organizer in white, with removable coin/stone holder, card holders and player boxes light teal. The organizer itself is in white, and has multiple compartments that neatly separate and hold all the game's components, including sleeved cards. #boardgaming #boardgame #valeofeternity

Set up for my 1st true-solo (combined deck/class) climb in 'Leviathan Wilds' by @mooncrabgames.bsky.social . I have been looking forward to tabling this multiplayer, but life is busy and coordinating game nights has been difficult lately. Should be a blast though! #boardgames #boardgamesky

A top-down view of the board game 'Leviathan Wilds' set up on a blue playmat, ready for a true-solo game. In the center is the main game board, which is a spiral-bound book opened to a page depicting the multi-tiered, rocky leviathan 'Sage' with two small orange climber miniatures on it. In front of the leviathan board is a "Rage Track" and a row of one face-up abd four face-down cards with vibrant, swirling purple and yellow artwork. In the foreground, two detailed player boards are set up. On the left is the character "Kestrel," and on the right is the character "Brick." Both player boards have cards, ability trackers with red and blue cube tokens, and other game pieces arranged on them. To the right of the play area are a red damage token and a gold coin.

Too tired to learn the game tonight, but unboxed 'Moon Bunny' by @hotbananagame.bsky.social and it just looks so great (and super-cute!). The Collectors version has some acrylic standees, as well as acrylic board tiles - awesome! Very nice. Going to try it out tomorrow. #boardgames #boardgamesky

The 'Moon Bunny' board game box is opened, revealing the rulebook inside. The rulebook cover features the same beautiful artwork as the box lid: a giant, serene bunny on a moon against a purple and blue cosmic sky. The game's title is visible in both English and Chinese characters.

A close-up shot of a person's hand unboxing the board game 'Moon Bunny'. The hand is pulling a dark blue ribbon tab to slide a vibrant yellow inner box out of a deep purple outer sleeve. The sleeve is decorated with gold foil accents and features a small, charming illustration of a white bunny.

Deluxe components for the 'Moon Bunny' board game are displayed on a table. In the foreground, there is a cardboard punch-out board, with four player sections in green, yellow, purple, and red. Each section holds several acrylic standees of different cute bunnies, color-coordinated to their respective sections. In the background, the main game board is partially visible.

Played the @getdized.bsky.social tuitorial for 'Wroth' by @chiptheorygames.bsky.social tonight, after 3D printing an amazing organizer, including separate faction boxes, dice boxes, etc. What a colorful game, and the tutorial went well. Can't wait to try it at 2p+ soon! #boardgames #boardgamesky

Tabletop board game "Wroth" is set up for play. The main board, a colorful playmat, features a twisting, abstract landmass in shades of pink, orange, yellow, and green. A number of tokens and dice are scattered across it. To the left is a player mat with a character portrait of a hooded figure and various spaces for cards and tokens. To the right is another player mat showing an archer character. Small, 3D-printed component organizers in black, purple, and orange are visible around the play area. A tablet running a Dized tutorial is partially visible on the far right, and the game box is in the background.

A top-down view of the inside of the "Wroth" board game box. A rolled-up neoprene playmat with a colorful abstract pattern is on the right. To the left is a stack of four player mats, each showing a different character portrait, including a warrior on a horse. The mats are edged with a bright teal thread. Below the mats are various game components, including cards and 3D-printed organizers for tokens, all packed neatly inside the box.

A partially packed board game box for "Wroth" is shown. The box contains several 3D-printed organizers for game components. In the foreground, a large, light grey plastic organizer holds a stack of cards and a row of dice. In the background, there are various smaller 3D-printed organizers in purple, yellow, and magenta, some with cutouts and filled with tokens and dice for the various playable factions in the game. The overall impression is one of a game being put away in a highly organized fashion.

A detailed view of the components for the "Ooglan" faction of the board game "Wroth." A large, horizontal player mat is centered, featuring an illustrated portrait of a monstrous, pale-skinned figure with prominent fangs and pointed ears. To the right of the illustration are several sections for cards and tokens, labeled "Horde," "Karn," "Nameless," and "Parasite." Below the mat, a 3D-printed component organizer tray is shown, separated into two parts. The left compartment holds six purple dice with a blue-and-pink stylized symbol. The middle compartment is filled with numerous small, silver-colored metal tokens shaped like claws or talons. To the right is the lid for the organizer, a flat, white plastic piece with a striped cutout pattern. A single "Ooglan" card with a character illustration is visible to the far left, which will also go into the organizer eventually.

1st play of 'Spooktacular' (2p) on the books! On the lighter side (we chose suggested Easy monsters to play), quick, and the assymetrical boards are really cool! It was 'Doombox' vs 'Chortlin' Charlie'. Charlie cleaned up. So good! I am raring for more! #boardgames #boardgamesky @level99games.com

A tabletop view of the board game 'Spooktacular' set up for a two-player game on a blue gaming mat. The central board features a dark, spooky theme with neon pink and purple paths. Colorful monster-shaped pawns are on various spaces.

All set up for my 1st solo play of 'Star Trek: Captain's Chair' by @wizkids.bsky.social . More complex than I prefer, but I am just so excited to try it out.

A wide shot of the board game 'Star Trek: Captain's Chair' set up for a game on a large table with a vibrant, textured blue playing surface.

Been enjoying 'Toy Battle' quite a lot lately, so when I saw this great 3D printed organizer, including player trays, a medal score track, storage box, etc., I was all over it. Came out great! Free link in comments, the creator has so many amazing inserts. Love it! #boardgames #boardgamesky

All set up for a first play of 'Vantage' by @stonemaiergames.com ! I have heard and watched so many good things, and the whole premise and theme just speaks to me. From everything I have seen, I am not going to be disappointed. #boardgames #boaredgamesky #tabletopgames

A tabletop photo showing the board game "Vantage" set up for a first play. The game box is on the left, open to reveal stacks of cards in an organized insert.

1st thing I did when 'Vantage' arrived, was to 3D print an insert that would allow the optional Player Boards (along with the metal coins and wood tokens) to fit in the box with zero box lift. I was even able to put the unpunched regular coins and token sheet at the bottom! #boardgames #boardgamesky

A top-down shot of a partial 3D-printed board game insert in a blue box, designed for the game 'Vantage'. The insert is light gray with various compartments. At the top, there are four stacks of white game cards, each labeled with a number range (e.g., "803-1029"). Below the cards
and printed insert, the original, unused punchboard holds small, round tokens in orange, light blue, and white. Below this, there are four rows of hexagonal and square-shaped coins for the game in blue, green, and purple, with some white tokens as well. The blue tokens have a symbol resembling a house, the green tokens have a "5" on them, and the purple tokens have "2N" printed on them. Some gray, rectangular pieces are also visible in the bottom left. This photo shows the first step of a multi-part insert.

A top-down shot of a 3D-printed board game insert in a blue box, designed for the game 'Vantage'. The top section remains the same as the previous photo, with four stacks of white game cards, each labeled with a number range (e.g., "1694-1789"). To the right of the cards, there's a new, small rectangular compartment holding a stack of black dice. Below the cards, the insert now features four large, light gray rectangular boxes with lids. Each lid has a number range printed on it: "190-399" (top left), "600-802" (top right), "002-189" (bottom left), and "400-599" (bottom right). To the right of these boxes, there's a white holder with several white dice featuring various symbols. Below this holder, a gray 3D printed box holding components can also be seen. In the bottom left, is another 3D printed component box with lid, and same for the bottom of the box, along with some grey card stands.

A top-down shot of a fully packed board game box for 'Vantage', with the game box lid standing upright behind it. This is the third and final step of the insert. The white game box is filled with a light gray 3D-printed insert. At the top, four stacks of white game cards are visible, along with a small compartment holding black dice and star-shaped tokens to their right. Below the cards, the main section of the insert is now covered with the rectangular player boards, which have slighlt recessed sections arranged in a 3x3 grid. The middle section is a recplica of one of the character cards from the game, depicting a character with a hat and a backpack is placed on top of the center player board. Below these boards, printed along the bottom edge of the box, a row of six different colored circular tokens are visible, each with a symbol and a word printed beneath it: purple with a snowflake symbol and "MOVE", yellow with a power symbol and "LOOK", orange with a target symbol and "ENGAGE", green with a hand symbol and "HELP", light blue with a grabbing hand and "TAKE", and red with a sword and "OVERPOWER". The player boards fit neatly within the box without exceeding the top lip.

After playing the two Training Missions for 'Corps of Discovery' by @offthepagegames.bsky.social , I am all set up for the 1st real adventure of the Fauna missions. Of course, I put my back out and can't sit at the table right now, but hopefully by Sunday! #boardgames #boardgamesky

A wide-angle shot from slightly above shows the board game "Corps of Discovery" fully set up on a blue, textured game table. The main player board, centrally located, features various tracks for resources like wood, food, and water, along with spaces for cards depicting different characters and events. To the right of the player board is a large grid of numerous circular, green tokens, representing unexplored territory or resources. In the upper center, a tray holds a variety of colorful cards, for other modules and expansions of the game. Scattered around the table are smaller individual cards, some face-up, revealing character abilities or items. One prominent card in the lower right foreground features the name "LEWIS" and an illustration of two figures. The overall impression is a complex, strategic board game ready for play, with many components spread out for easy access.

Can't wait to dig into 'Corps of Discovery' by @offthepagegames.bsky.social designed by Jay Cormier & Sen-Foong Lim. Such goegeous production, and based off of the 'Manifest Destiny' graphic novels, the artwork is next-level. #boardgames #BoardGameSky 💙🎲 #gaming #manifestdestiny

A board game box for "Corps of Discovery: A Game Set in the World of Manifest Destiny - Ultimate Edition." The dark, illustrated cover depicts a girl with a spear in the foreground, facing right into a shadowy forest. In the background, three men with rifles and another person with a glowing orb float among the trees. The "Ultimate Edition" badge on the front indicates it includes a wooden map board, tokens, and four expansions: Insecta, Vameter, Maldonado, and Fog. Game design credits are given to Matthew Roberts, Jay Cormier & Sen-Foong Lim, and Sebastian Koziner.

A clear plastic component tray filled with upgraded wooden tokens for the board game "Corps of Discovery." The tokens are arranged in eight compartments, each containing a different design and color. From left to right, the designs include: jagged grey and black shapes, curved brown and grey shapes resembling wood logs, stacked grey shapes with skull-like designs, green leaf-like shapes, red and grey abstract shapes, intricate blue and purple designs, smooth light blue curved water droplets, and finally, a mix of orange flame-like shapes and red tokens with a white 'B' or heart design. The tray sits on a colorful background that appears to be a space-themed playmat.

A vibrant photo showcases the board game "Wroth" with its main box and two expansions, "Venna" and "Paladyn," standing upright on a blue surface. The "Wroth" main box, centrally placed, features striking artwork of a futuristic, robed figure with a circular, glowing emblem. Above the "Wroth" box, a smaller, flatter box labeled "Metal Troop Tokens" is visible, indicating an upgrade component. All boxes are shrink-wrapped, suggesting they are new. The overall impression is one of a richly illustrated, sci-fi themed game.

Elevated tariffs continue to threaten the board game industry despite a 90-day ‘truce’ between the US and China – with publishers now facing a spike in shipping prices and a battle for container space as businesses race to take advantage of the lower-tariff window: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

Dear Democrats + American "friends" Even when your president says it is "unlikely" that he will use military force against our country it still worthy of a resounding response. Right? But we hear crickets. You might be okay with the end of the rule of law. Not us. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Yet another casualty. And this is a hobby/luxury and disposable-income segment. Imagine the carnage for other, more essential small and medium businesses. Thanks to @boardgamewire.bsky.social for the usual concise reporting.

Our son was coming to visit today, so I set up 'Deep Regrets' for a 3p game. It was fantastic, and loved by even my board game-resistant wife. The art is just so good, and the game mechanisms never lose the theme, only enhance it. A rare thing nowadays. #boardgames @tettix.bsky.social #boardgamesky

The board game 'Deep Regrets' is displayed all set up for three players on a specialized gaming table. A large, vibrant playmat with galactic nebula and planet artwork covers the central playing area. Components including the main board sections, various decks of cards, player cards, dice/resource trays (yellow, red, blue, purple), and the white 'Deep Regrets' cloth bag are laid out across the mat. The black-bordered table has recessed sections around the play area.

Our official statement and a mini-rant by me on tariffs. TLDR: I'm not happy and you should probably get your orders in for our games soon before prices rise or we run out of stock.

Close-up photo of a ginger tabby cat sitting on a dark wood-grain floor inside a room. The cat has classic orange tabby markings, a prominent white patch on its chest extending to its muzzle, long white whiskers, and round, light greenish-yellow eyes looking intently at the camera. Its ears are perked. The background shows a corner with white baseboards, a white door frame, and edges of furniture.

Perhaps the best article I have read thus far on how these insane tariffs are going to affect the hobby that we all love. Take a couple of minutes and read it, please.

All set up for my 1st solo go at 'Deep Regrets' by @tettix.bsky.social . Couldn't start it tonight as I am exhausted and the back pain is terrible, but looking forward to jumping into the Briny Deep tomorrow! #boardgames #deepregrets #boardgamesky #sologaming

A top-down shot shows the board game "Deep Regrets" laid out on a colorful, galaxy-themed playmat, ready for a solo game. In the upper left corner, the game box is lying down, displaying the title "DEEP REGRETS" in bold yellow lettering with a stylized fishing trawler illustration, with tentacles rising from the deep.

Arranged on the playmat are various game components. To the left of the box, there's the Port board featuring a stylized image of a rugged individual and various sections for tracking game elements like "MAKE PORT," "PORT HISTORY," "O2," "RUM," "FOOD," and "SUPPLY." Below the player board are three item cards labeled "ROD," "REEL," and "SUPPLY."

In the center of the layout, a grid of nine "Dive Site" cards is arranged in a 3x3 pattern. Each card depicts a different underwater location with Roman numeral indicators from I to III. Above this grid is a smaller card with a yellow header that reads "PRISTINE DEEP."

To the right of the Dive Site cards, there's a red plastic component tray with multiple hexagonal compartments, used for holding tokens or other small game pieces. A few small white cubes are visible within one of the compartments.

Below the Dive Site cards, there's a collection of smaller cards, and the Player Board. This board prominently features a cartoonish fisherman named "FRED," and other reference cards with text and icons related to gameplay.

In the bottom left corner, a small beige drawstring bag with "DEEP REGRETS" printed on it rests next to a "SOLO OCEAN SURVEY" board. The survey board has sections for different days of the week (MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI) and a stack of small Regret cards placed on it. To the right of the Player board is a larger sheet titled "DEEP REGRETS OCEAN SURVEY SMALL FISH," containing columns and rows for tracking different types of fish caught for cataloging.

Look what surfaced from the depths today (Ontario, Canada). I have been awaiting 'Deep Regrets' anxiously, and the amazing @tettix.bsky.social has delivered! I can't wait to see what submerged horrors and oddities I can Dredge up! Hope to table it this week. #deepregrets #boardgames #boardgamesky

A slightly low-angle shot shows the board game "Deep Regrets" standing upright behind its "Lamentable Tentacles" mini-expansion card pack, which is positioned in front and slightly to the right. The "Deep Regrets" game box is tall and rectangular, featuring a textured, aged paper design with printed text. The title "DEEP REGRETS" is prominently displayed in a distressed faux newspaper print, bold font, stacked vertically and slightly angled. Below it, in a smaller, more elegant script, reads "AN UNFORTUNATE FISH...". The background of the box is filled with illegible, faded text, giving it a vintage newspaper feel.

In front of the game box is the "Lamentable Tentacles" mini-expansion card pack. It is a small, vertically oriented package with a black and white illustration of a menacing green octopus or squid with glowing yellow eyes and sharp teeth. The title "DEEP REGRETS" is printed in a smaller, white, distressed font at the top. Below the illustration, in a larger, bold, white font, reads "LAMENTABLE TENTACLES", with "MINI-EXPANSION" printed underneath in a smaller, green font. At the very bottom, in red text, it states "REQUIRES BASE GAME TO PLAY AGE 18 AND UP". The card pack is sealed.

The background is softly blurred but shows a shelf filled with various other board games, suggesting a game collection. The surface below the games is a dark, speckled mat. The lighting is focused on the two game items in the foreground, making them stand out against the blurred background.

Had some help getting my new Game Toppers 'Holmes' downstairs and set up. A great solution for the value space between a regular table and high-end gaming table. Super-sturdy, with a ton of accessories. I chose 2 game mats, Desert and Space. So happy! #gametoppers #boardgames #gaming
