Pausing board game purchases for two weeks has started to highlight to me how little I am actually playing any board games whatsoever. I have basically just been collecting board games for the most part.

I know a lot of people deride the push for every new board game to have a solo mode (myself included). But the past couple years have shown me how challenging it is to find the social group for regular board gaming. Especially post covid.

Oh fracking hell, they made this into a board game? The video game absolutely rocked! I always fantasised about a board game version!

A bit of a dilemma, a friend is a co-designer on an imminent crowdfunding campaign and I want to support them- the game also looks awesome. But a pledge is a pledge!

Not really sure why but I have a really strong bias against board games based on video games.

Re interactivity in board games, is it partially explained by the ratio of interactions to the total game content? So rummy has some interaction but the entire game is pretty simple. Would including a rummy level interaction in a complex euro make that larger game envelope feel as interactive?

Well I have come to the decision that I need to pause my board game purchases for a while - to give me a chance to play the games I own and restore a bit of sanctity to the process of buying and owning new board games. My aim is to not buy any new board games for the remainder of 2026.

Been playing Oasis life on a new world at 2p and solo. Beautiful production and vibrant art, also feels super clean and smooth as a ‘play a card do a thing’ style game. But it’s very multiplayer solitaire and takes a few plays to unlock the strategy. Enjoyed it but not sure if I will keep it.

The tabletopia build is in progress. (I can't stand the way it's converting colors) If anyone has advice on that I'd love to hear it. It's hard enough to save all these components just for tabletopia, another trying to solve color stuff as well. excited for folks to check it out soon.

My personal theory is that the AI productivity boost story is pure propaganda and the real purpose was always military/policing.

I’ve seen videos about this board game (pincer, a gentleman’s war) for the past few years on YouTube. It’s now live on kickstarter but the odd thing is there isn’t (yet) any 3rd party impressions or even a how to play. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jui...

I was just in Porto for a week, I saw a cool and compact looking board game shop about 15min walk from me, check opening ours and head off. But sadly when I got there it was obvious it had long since shut down. 😢

Was wondering- is the main difference between legacy and campaign games the destruction/modification of legacy games?

So I clearly glossed over some decent games in the genre. MyCity is one I particularly enjoyed as it was so simple to set up and advance. But some other solid games I never got to try!

I fee for me personally there’s a promise I am expecting board games to fulfill for me. Be that realistic or naive, that ultimately end up being the main driver for my purchases.
