Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 10h😂 Isn't it a bit early in the day for a spicy response like this, Leanne? 110
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 11hYeah, great mechanics just a wee bit too long. We have a travel version that we've got out at pubs before and generally end up not completing 😂. 210
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 21hFriday night saw another Imperial Assault mission completed. A rule error favoured the Imperials so we gave both sides their winning reward. It's such a shame it's so hard to get the additions to this game now - this Jabba campaign has been fantastic. Four more missions to go! #boardgames 030
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Well... Heathrow (medium difficulty) did us again. I think I lost count at the number of crash landings so maybe it was even worse than when we fist tried the easy difficulty 😂. We did it in the end though! Even with all the failure, Sky Team gets you keen for more. #boardgames 1181
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Machi Koro 2 is a fun little game. The roll and collect mechanics feels similar to Catan, and the tableau sets feel like Splendor. Two of my in-laws favorites, so my hope would be this being a sure hit for them - and it was! Great #boardgames fun 080
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A friend of Abbs' described The Oddessy as her 'Winter comfort film. I can't wait to snuggle up in a blanket and re-watch it'. I finally got around to seeing it yesterday and I think that friend might have some problems. What a film though, loved it. 011
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I always felt Solo got a lot of stick that it really didn't deserve. 010
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Wednesday's midweek #boardgames session saw one of the fan favourites make a reappearance. It was time for some zoo management with the wonders of Ark Nova. One player had one of those funny zoos - loads of empty enclosures everywhere 😂. Not much impact though as end score was still positive! 080
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This has been one of my recent favorites - very clever game. 110
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This game is next on my 'to buy' 😁😁. Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 010
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Every year, we try pull together a big Game Of Thrones to honour a) Abbs birthday and b) the game that got us into this damned hobby. This year felt like one of the best we'd had - everyone had their go at the throne. Maybe one day we'll try this with the Targaryens... #boardgames 080
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Tikal Legend Deluxe edition was an absolute beast. It sadly hasn't broken the pattern of me not enjoying area control games. I was quite enjoying it until the first scoring happened and I just thought there were far too many options. Lovely looking game though. #boardgames 030
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Great to hear! We know the game VERY well and absolutely love Duet so I'm sure we'd be able to handle both together. Really glad to hear someone has had a go, and then enjoyed it as well! 010
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Has anyone tried this out with Duet by the way? I imagine that is quite a bit to deal with, but I want to give it a go. #boardgames 170

Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The thing I love about @elizhargrave.bsky.social's Wingspan is the sheer volume of birds. Every game gets to feel unique because you'll be playing different action combos from your last. This was our first game with Americas and I really enjoyed what hummingbirds added. #boardgames 280
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Quacks is just great fun, isn't it? Doesn't matter if you blow yourself up, play it safe or somewhere in the middle; everyone gets to enjoy themselves. This game was one of those where last place raced to first by the end - always the sign of a wild ride! #boardgames 3210
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 06/09/2026The kids have wanted to start trying some tougher games and the most recent on their list was La Fleur. It's always challenging playing a game with the young'ns and this was no different 😂😂. It definitely reminded me and Abbs how much we loved this though! #boardgames 0150
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Bank Holiday Sunday resulted in us squeezing in one of our Imperial Assault missions. The devastating Rancor made an appearance, but he couldn't quite make enough impact. His leader managed to squeeze in a couple of orders without getting eaten, but bad roles led to him not lasting. #boardgames 040
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Is it even a game of mansions of madness if someone or everyone doesn't go insane? 010
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Friday's #boardgame was my choice, so I brought Wise Guys to the table. I'd played the Sons of Anarchy version previously, and loved the back and forth agressive play. These are good to play now and again to feel a bit more interactive. I got this for a steal on ebay (£12) - well worth it! 060
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Was that one of the Athlete's abilities? It wouldn't surprise me if it was. "steal the game from the owner after the race' 110
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Wednesday night saw a revisit of Race to the Galaxy - it feels like one good to try again soon after the first attempt. Very enjoyable game and I love how much it packs into such a short game. It was then time to see what all the Magical Athelete fuss was about. #boardgames 140
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 25/08/2026After YEARS of knowing this game existed, I've finally managed to get around to playing a game of Race to the Galaxy! I'd heard 'why bother with Terraforming when you have Race?' Well, I disagree with that, but this does pack a heck of a lot of gameplay into a nice short playtime. #boardgames 280
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I had no idea he had a hasbro one as well! They were actually blessed with a republish quite recently - finally got to put a load of the new mechanics they'd been adding over the years in prototypes into a proper design. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/42...boardgamegeek.comHistory of the WorldCivilizations rise and fall. Rewrite history in this epoch-sprawling game of strategy 110
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Me and 2 friends from work did the Real Ale Trail (realaletrail.uk) last Friday - my old boss had been pining to try this. You have a plan of train stops across Lancashire and Yorkshire - popping in a lovely pub on each. Of course I brought a game to complement the journey.... #boardgames 050
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 24/08/2026B) I was never fond of the guild cards because it feels a copout that you pick the best city at both points. I like the temple cards because they're just a straight point-builder. 001
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 24/08/2026My wife would agree with you! I, on the other hand, do see a couple of elements that I feel add to the game nicely. A) The no-card action the Pantheon cards add can help you get out of a bad card pickup pathway, or a forced pickup pathway from your opponent. 101
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Yes, I can't believe my luck, but picked it up at a local charity shop for £4 - nothing missing! I think they enjoyed it - hope first light went well 😊. 010
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 23/08/2026There's a couple! It made me really tempted to get Agora again after playing with this. We've played the standard so many times, it's nice to add a bit extra to it! 100
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Every time we put 7 wonders Duel back to the table we immediately remember why - such a great of quick back and forth. Abbs isn't too fussed about what Pantheon adds, but I really like the extra options that come available. #boardgames 260
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Is that this version 😊? boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23... I live next door to the designer! I'll let him know I've seen his game out in the wild again 😂.boardgamegeek.comHistory of the WorldCivilizations rise and fall. Rewrite history in this epoch-sprawling game of strategy 100
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 17/08/2026That would have been a bit of a step up 😂😂. I'll have had that out ready for my campaigners coming over in the evening. If it's any consolation, they did actually try hero quest though, haha. 110
Euan @nexpro.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Stomp the Plank is a) such a fun, easy game to play and b) always a hit with the kids. Watching them rarely have boundaries with the 'push of luck' always leads to some funny outcomes - including the odd unexpected win! #boardgames 130
