Got SO lucky with this card draw - it's the perfect match for this spirit! Now to gobble up those pesky Prussians... #spiritisland #boardgames #boardgamesky

I've heard great things, but my first play of Zhanguo didn't quite grab me as much as I was expecting it to. Hopefully I'll come to appreciate its intricacies with more plays under my belt (and not get utterly demolished in the final round like this time 🫣) #boardgamesky #boardgame #china

Just look at me monopolising the negotiations in Circadians: First Light 😏 Beat the bot so easily last time I thought I'd give it another go to see if it was a fluke - apparently not! On to hard mode it is 💪🏻 @garphillgames.bsky.social #boardgamesky #boardgame

One of my favourite board game feelings is when you introduce a game to someone and afterwards they immediately start Googling to see how much it costs 💓 And last night I scored a double whammy with Guards of Atlantis II and Decrypto 💓💓 #boardgame #boardgamesky

Grrr as if I lost Dinogenics by 2 points to this hippie dippy herbivore park! Although I guess it wasn't *that* hippie dippy - the stegosaurus did kill one of the guests after all 😅 Not very plant-based, not very demure... #boardgamesky #boardgame #dinosaur

I don't own many 'cosy' games (gimme blood and guts and fisticuffs) but Guild of Merchant Explorers is one of them and it feels like a cup of camomile tea in tabletop form #boardgamesky

Playing everything Spirit Island as a swan song to GtG 😢 This was one of those really satisfying smackdown turns with Thunderspeaker, but I still only squeaked a win thanks to a cheeky/cheaty retcon with my Fear cards to destroy the final Prussian city. Still gonna take it 😌 #boardgamesky

A great day of gaming with @boardgamewaffle.bsky.social and others, featuring not one but two of the hottest space games in recent months - Andromeda's Edge and SETI 🚀 In a surprise twist, I handily won AE and miserably lost SETI #boardgamesky #boardgames

Isn't it simply DREADFUL when one hosts a big gay party and the bloody coppers show up? Molly House from @wehrlegig.games is a tough teach, but the theme is so interesting and well implemented (and it's taught me a part of history I knew nothing about). #boardgamesky #boardgame #queer

What do we think about this? My initial instinct is "Oh I would play one of my tini plastic mini violins, but they're being held ransom unless I pay additional shipping fees", but maybe this spells trouble for the industry in general? #boardgame #boardgamesky #news

My dream (half) came true and I played Netrunner last night - only for my corp to lose without scoring a single agenda 🤦🏼 At one point I had 3 credits, 4 agendas in my hand and no affordable ice, so it was kinda inevitable...

Had a dream last night that I was teaching Netrunner to Frasier Crane and all the attendees of one of his dinner parties. It could just be a product of all this Arctic air, but I think it actually means I really wanna play Netrunner #boardgamesky #netrunner @netrunner.nullsignal.games

The Reckoners board game is a blend of Pandemic and King of Tokyo, and it's one tough cookie - maybe *too* tough? Steelheart absolutely battered us in 35 minutes and we were nowhere near winning... #boardgamesky #reckoners #boardgame #navoogames

I'm fairly new to Agricola, and it's slowly growing on me! A turning point last night was realising that the much-loathed Feed Your Family step isn't an annoying clean-up requirement – it's the main point of the game. You're working to feed and house your family, and that's kinda sweet #boardgamesky

Did you know that @direwolfdigital.bsky.social have a surprisingly solid Clank! companion app that lets you play solo? It has mini quests to distract you and clears random cards from the market, but the lack of player competition means I always score far, far higher than I do in multiplayer.

The Nazi who uses his platform every five minutes to denounce woke boogeymen somehow failed to clearly state that he did not make Nazi salute, nor denounce nazis. He’s not stupid. Nobody is that stupid.

Well, well, well! Look what arrived at the studio. The PPC (pre-production copy) of The Old King's Crown base game! Here's a wee sneak peek! (This is primarily for material, colour, printing error checking, so excuse any scuffed edges on dual-layer boards, this is not the final finish etc)
