I'm having a lot of fun playing Hercules and the 12 Labors. However, every time I see the word "Eurystheus" my mind switches it to "Eurythmics". So yes, for me, Hercules is completing these labors for a British New Wave band from the 80s.

My first solo game of Return to Dark Tower by @restorationgames.bsky.social - I didn't have enough skulls in the supply to survive the Ashstrider and got burned to a crisp! 🤬 😭 What a fun time during my week off from work! Time to go battle the tower again!

In Episode 68, we’re exhibiting questionable behavior again, answering trivia questions sent in by listener @sethagonzalez.bsky.social Expansion content! If you’re old enough, there’s a drinking game accidentally included—take a drink every time we mispronounce a word! #boardgames #games #trivia

@silvylea.bsky.social I love a good Birming ham when it's hot and juicy. 🤪

Spent a long weekend out in Michigan's Lower Peninsula enjoying the beauty of the state. Elk, Maple syrup, Mackinac Island, and some quick games inside the cabin when it was hot and stormy outside. What a great time with the family! #boardgames #mackinac #Michigan

Day 4 in the Northern Lower Peninsula and the family totally ignores the stack of games in the cabin. They'd rather touch grass and go watch roaming Elk. How can I trade them in? Clarification: Trade in my family, NOT the games. 😂

Had a great time playing 51st State Ultimate Edition with @neversaydie4.bsky.social a few nights ago. Great artwork, great player interaction, and great engine building mechanisms. I really want to solo this one!

I borrowed a game that I've always wanted to try from my homie @toejam2501.bsky.social - Sadie's mouth dropped when she saw the cards are still in shrink! I get to bless this legendary game with it's first play? Thanks, TJ! 👏🤩

Hey all, look at this cool baby snuggle-cow my talented wife made! She also makes soaps, beard oil, body butters, lip balms and sews, knits, and can crochet. By contrast: I play board games and I made a tuna sandwich today.

One game that has always eluded a purchase from me is Scythe. I played it a couple of years ago, for the first time, and it has stayed on my mind ever since. Does it hold up nowadays? I will mainly play it solo. I need to scratch this itch 😩

Got Everdell back on the table after a year away from it. I'm looking forward to adding some expansion fun in the next few days. 🐁🦔🐢🌳 #Everdell #boardgames

Cold day here in Illinois, so I decided to lock myself in the game room for a while and play something I haven't played in over a year. Everdell 🐁🦔 🐢 🌳

Need a recommendation for a small footprint game during bowling night. Light game preferred for these non-gamers I bowling with. 4-5 players GO! #boardgames

What do you do when the cork breaks off in your expensive barrel aged mead? You deal with it and drink it anyway 🤷 😏 🤪

Artwork like this in games just makes me want to just stare at it and be transported away. (I promise not during game play lol) This is just beautiful!

Somewhere, someone is prepping for an epic Thanksgiving board game evening. If that's YOU, cheers to you, and also let me hear what you're playing. I'm out having a beverage before last-minute Turkey Day shopping. This barrel aged coconut stout is 🔥

I've not taught myself the VIneyards expansion yet. If you've played it, please let me know how it is and any good strategy tips!

Finally got around to playing Andromeda's Edge yesterday! My Dwellings experience helped me with understanding the mechanisms, however I had a heck of time trying to stick to a strategy and was shackled all game due to pivoting and dumb decisions. Can't to play again! Deep decision space on this one

So… I ended up jumping into VALKA from Terrible Games as it’s been on my SOS the longest. After a casual hour of vids/rules/setup here’s how it went: Turn 1) Quest card, hardship: -2 Stamina Turn 2) Quest card, rough terrain: -4 Stamina Dead At least the art is cool? bsky.app/profile/neve...

Valka board game box cover and components and beginning setup with cloth board, small player aid, player deck, loot deck, fighter deck, existing gear, dice and rules pamphlets.

Mediocre closeup of player aid and beginning player equipment

Closeup of the first quest card that started my demise.

WHAT? Another DI flavor? I don't even have Dune Imperium base game and, over the years, now have found myself so behind in this series. What's next? DI Bix Box that has everything? At this point, that's what I need! 😅 If you're excited about this one, let me hear you.

I am remodeling a bedroom into a game room soon, so I had to frame my Khruangbin tour poster to display when the room is completed. She's gorgeous 😍

I know I should get a proper piggy bank, but I've gotten used to using a board game box. Does anyone else do this? Anytime I have a few extra bucks, it goes into the box for future games/cons. Box bank savers, let me hear you!!

@2muchenthusiasm.bsky.social The bourbon barrel used to age this black currant mead for 13 months was then refilled and used to age Wild Turkey 101 for 10 months. 😋 Both are being enjoyed this Christmas. I wish I had picked up a copy of Distilled to enjoy with these bottles 😆
