The only thing that's definitely underwhelming about the #container #kickstarter is this AllPlay ... "medallion". I guess it's the thought that counts. Unless the thought was "let's go for the cheapest possible option"...
A "medallion" this is not.

Triangulation - Get your team to guess a word. You can give them 3 hints, but the twist is that the opposing team gets to look at two of the hints and guess first. Will this actually result in a fun challenge? I'll go wake up the kids... #boardgames #triangulation

According to my notes all the Container Kickstarter stuff was supposed to show up in August, but hey! I'm reasonably excited to try Container, Triangulation looks like a nice little game - I have my doubts about Gruntz, but I'll give it a shot... #boardgames #crowdfunding #container #kickstarter

The Container playmat is about as big as a kids-room-play-carpet. Which is of course awesome. I know, as a game dev I can get all judgey and/or technical about board games, but beneath it all, maybe I'm just trying to re-live childhood memories... #boardgames #container #kickstarter

In essence, Zombicide miniature painting is all about strategic bird poo positioning. #zombicide #miniatures #painting #boardgames #tabletopgaming #cmon
Zombicide abomination, painted with strategic bird poo stains. It's the attention to details like this that take miniatures to the next level, while at the same time distracting the eye from the otherwise rushed paintwork.

Ok, this was painful. Too many zombies. Had a great time painting the heroes, had a great time painting some of the zombies, then stuck it out with gritted teeth... Guess now I have to play Zombicide again... #boardgames #miniatures #painting

RPG-like boardgames - I kinda love this, but I also kinda hate it. It's fun to play with double-layer boards and lots of little tokens, but instead of just writing down a word I now need to search through 100 little bits? And if I pump the table my character gets randomised. #arydia #boardgame #rpg

Talked the family into playing Arydia with me. We made it through 2 sessions where little happened except character creation and rules explanations. Bit of a slog, but managed to mostly keep them on board. But now I'd need to story to pick up. Come on! #boardgames #family #kids #arydia

Bit late to the party, but enjoying Tainted Grail so far. It's essentially a more story-heavy 7th Continent. Pro tip: the rulebook is hopeless, just make up your own rules... #taintedgrail #awkenrealms #boardgames #rules #tabletopgaming
Tainted Grail solo, set up on a table. You reveal cards and travel around on them. Storybook choose your own adventure style.

It's so nice to have the menhir dial actually readable now. If you haven't played Tainted Grail, that's the dial you slot into the base of the miniature. Every day you turn it, when it goes to zero, you're done for. Keeps you moving.. #taintedgrail #miniatures #painting #boardgames #tabletopgaming

My first impression of Realm of Reckoning is... VERY SHINY. 😄 Let's see if they can add something to the trendy genre of games where you define the victory conditions along the way, beyond what they did with Brink! #boardgames #tabletop #ivstudio #realmofreckoning

Escape the Dark Castle 2nd Edition - I'm a bit on the fence. I love the first Edition BECAUSE it is so simple. If I want something more complex, I play Escape the Dark Sector. So - for me - adding more features is not the big selling point they think it is... #boardgames #crowdfunding #darkcastle

Finished my first campaign of 7th continent! Did not even get close to lifting my curse. Had a great time, but only realised during takedown that I had never actually looked at my Clue card... Turns out it had a map on it. That might have helped. 😆 #7thcontinent #boardgames

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.
A four-panel comic.

Panel 1: A guy looks in on a lady who's crying and says, "Hey, is everything okay?"

She replies, "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died."

Panel 2: He: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?"

She: "So sad."

Panel 3: They are looking at a picture of what I would describe as an interdimensional monster with way too many eyes and teeth. And a bowtie.

She: "I mean obviously: IDEOLOGICALLY I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart li'l bowtie!"

He: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he BELIEVED IN!"

Panel 4: A man in a gigantic glass jar whose body appears to be pretty much just a shapeless lump resting on the bottom of it, obviously missing a skeleton: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here."

The first guy: "Too SOON, Geoff!"

Kinfire Chronicles makes a really good first impression! It eases you into the rules, the scenarios start out short enough as to not be tedious. The way turn "order" is determined is fresh and different: you draw chits from a bag - shows your character? It's your turn! #kinfire #boardgames
The first scenario of Kinfire Chronicles set up on the table. Acrylic standees on a map, lots of cards, chits, tokens.

Excellent game of Nemesis last night! Four of us were in cryosleep with our objectives done, then we had to watch the straggler turn around and spend the last 6 rounds trying to wreck the engines and get us off course in an attempt to fulfil their objective of killing us all. 😆 #nemesis #boardgames

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.
Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.

"A mural of the Statue of Liberty in shame" by JDL Street Ar in Lille , Roubaix France 🇫🇷
Mural by JDL Street Art in Roubaix, Lille, France, depicting the Statue of Liberty covering her face with both hands in a gesture of shame. The figure is painted in shades of grey with teal accents on the torch and crown, set against a muted background with a golden halo-like circle. The artwork spans the side of a tall brick building, contrasting modern street art with historic European architecture in the surrounding cityscape.
