trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/09/2026August plays for me (offline). Daily weather will definitely become the most played game of the year (play counts not play time) because of its design. #boardgames #bgstats 090
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/08/2026July plays. What a month! Family traveling this month - so lots of small dice and card games played. #bgstats #boardgames 0100
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 20/07/2026It seems @buttonshy.bsky.social know the way to my solo playing heart. The Daily Weather is 4-5 minute simple yet satisfying puzzle. It changes every day, will take years to repeat itself and it does it with only 18 cards. It's the perfect morning coffee material. #boardgames #soloboardgames 060
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I'm flying out of München. The home city of Dr. Reiner Knizia, who has designed over 800 board and card games. And this is the board game selection sold at the airport. Disappointed but also a little surprised. I expected more 😔 #boardgames 170
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 02/07/2026A bit late as I'm traveling but here are my June plays, sorted by total play time ti shake previous posts up. #boardgames #bgstats 050
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/06/2026May plays. Got Five! keeps its place at the top after swooping in and surpassing Crisps! in April (these are physical plays only). #boardgames #bgstats 1110
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Boardgames can turn you into a weird human being. Today I walked into a Beluga whale sanctuary. I got embarrassingly way too excited to see living anemone in a tank after having played the wonderful Enemy Anemone by @dnlnwmn.bsky.social #boardgames 081
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 02/05/2026What better day than May 1 to play Tax the Rich. I really like this one, especially with the different roles and the feminist additions. #boardgames 050
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/05/2026April plays. Crisps! was dethroned after sitting firmly at the top each month, for the first quarter of the year. I had expected Conservas to be at the top but Got Five! came out of the blue and took the spot. #boardgames 090
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Like for many board gamers (I assume) playing Earth on Earth day has become kind of a tradition for me. Happy Earth day! 🌍 #boardgames 160
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Three Cs at the top of my March plays. Crisps! still at the top but I have a feeling it won't keep that place in April. #boardgames #bgstats 091
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 05/03/2026I recently picked up Conservas by @scottalmes.bsky.social and @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social while searching for a new solo game. I've only played a few games so far but it's so addicting! It has everything I want in a solo experience: Short, simple & easy setup. #boardgamed #soloboardgames 1142
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Cards rule everything around me February plays. Lots of card games. Crisps! by @shreesh.bsky.social (and @dnlnwmn.bsky.social) reigns supreme and keeps its 1st place spot from January. #boardgames #bgstats 1101
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 10/02/2026I can recommend. Easily game of the year for me and it's only February. Small box you can take anywhere. Perfect play time for game weight and player count. Has become the 'night cap' for me and my daughter (one game of Crisps! before she goes to sleep... if it's not too late) 030
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/02/2026January plays. I finally got Crisps (and Dickory along with a few other games I purchased) from @dnlnwmn.bsky.social and I immediately know Crisps is going to be a top list game for 2026. Can't get enough. #bgstats #boardgames 1110
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I may have found my favorite trick-taking game with a trump suit. 010
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/01/2026I did it! These are my non-digital plays of the year and I managed to play a physical board game every single day of 2025! I basically did a full year #spielmas #boardgames #bgstats 2140
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Last day of the year and the sixth and last day of #spielmas Three different games played. Two making a reappearance but one new. So concludes my first Spielmas. It's been fun and a very good way to end this spectacular year. #boardgames 031
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/01/2026December plays. After the November injury I finally got back to a large amount of daily plays second half of December but still managed a daily play in December. #boardgames #bgstats 1100
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Fifth day of #spielmas and I'm back at 3 different games but only one making a reoccurrence. Now there's only one day left of Spielmas and one day left of the year and then a big reveal as to why spielmas was pretty special to me this year. #boardgames 061
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Fourth day of #spielmas and what a day. Five different games played. We're gonna need a bigger hexagon. Size of game components does not reflect size of game but there are a few very obscure games this time around. #boardgames 041
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Third day of #spielmas and yet again three different games. One game makes a comeback from the first day of spielmas but the other two are new. #boardgames 161
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 28/12/2025The second day of #spielmas saw three different games played but no repeat games from the first day (also two of these were solo). #boardgames 261
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 27/12/2025I'm in the homestretch of a special board game year. What better way to celebrate it than by participating in #spielmas On this first day of spielmas I played three different games. 031
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 23/12/2025I just got my hands on my first @marcelineleiman.bsky.social design - the solo variant of The Hobbit: There and Back Again I am very interested to know the idea behind the design and why it was designed in this way because it is very different from what I expected #boardgames 182
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Just gave myself a holiday gift, a subscription to @senetmagazine.bsky.social I've been meaning to get for a long time (since I found out about Senet magazine about a year ago). Also backordered all the previous issues so you'll find me in my reading chair all of next year. #boardgames 1132
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Exciting! I just registered for Spiel@Sea next year. Two weeks of board gaming and making friends while visiting Spain, Azores and Bermuda 🛳 tabletop.events/conventions/... #boardgamestabletop.eventsSpiel@Sea 2026 030
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/12/2025A broken collarbone followed by surgery did not stop me from playing a game every day of November. A Gentle Rain was the perfect game to get me through my injuries and recovery. #boardgames #bgstats 1160
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Watching Matthew describe his board game injury while waiting for surgery, I realized my broken collarbone is a board game injury and also a bruised board game ego because I broke it when I slipped on ice trying not to be late to play...

trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/11/2025My October was longer than yours. According to #bgstats I played a game 32 days in October. Got to play a variety of games at Spiel and played during the DST changes (where I suspect the 32nd day comes from). #boardgames 1130
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I'm probably late to the game but I just found out about @aftergame.app I have needed a website or an app to organize boardgame nights and events and it seems to be everything I hoped for and more. Now to get more people to sign up 🤔 aftergame.appaftergame.appAftergame 110
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 13/10/2025I have been listening to "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". Sometimes while soloing a boardgame. What I can tell you is that even if I don't like Arkham Horror the boardgame, I like it even less with The Visitors by ABBA as a soundtrack. #boardgames #soloboardgames 020
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 12/10/2025I've now gone through the solo mode for Forest Shuffle (from Exploration) three times; With the base game, with Alpine expansion, and with Alpine + Woodland Edge. I've discovered new strategies and powerful forest friends. Loved it! Well done @lookoutgames.bsky.social #boardgames #soloboardgames 090
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 02/10/2025My September plays. Forest Shuffle still at the top thanks to the Exploration solo mode. I'm now going into the last quarter of the year and have played a (physical copy) boardgame every day of 2025 so far. #boardgames #bgstats 070
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Solo played Until Proven Guilty from DV Games. I don't recommend the game for its price even if the production is great. Weirdly the components are of too high quality for a one off play. I think they could have done something like Final Girl (core box + cases). #boardgames #soloboardgames 031
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Everything is relative. I guess most people think they'd have played a lot if they managed 70 plays in a year. To me, playing only 70 times in a month is on the lower side (I was traveling which explains it) #boardgames #bgstats 0110
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Forest Shuffle from @lookoutgames.bsky.social continued its reign in July thanks to the solo mode in Exploration. Kingsbridge, the competitive solitaire from Wolfgang Kramer and @kosmosgamesuk.bsky.social that I randomly bought at a sale, got closest to toppling it. #boardgames #bgstats 070
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 19/07/2025I just finished watching the #marvel Ironheart series. So, of course I had to play a game of Marvel Champions: Ironheart vs The Hood #boardgames #soloboardgames #marvelchampions 2130
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Got a little hooked on Forest Shuffle with the new Exploration expansion from @lookoutgames.bsky.social But on average a different game played every day of the month. That completes a half a year of daily physical plays. It'll be fun to try and finish a whole year. #boardgames #bgstats 090
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 26/06/2025I have played many games of Forest Shuffle from @lookoutgames.bsky.social and even more after getting the Exploration expansion. On the fifth try at the Insects challenge, never having gotten 10 insects, I finally noticed that butterflies are insects too! Game changer! #boardgames #soloboardgames 0130
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 10/06/2025I really like the solo variant in Forest Shuffle: Exploration from @lookoutgames.bsky.social It's part mentoring, part campaign. Same tension. Screwed up my whole game on my last turn. Immediately want to play again. #boardgames #soloboardgames 1170
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 08/06/2025I don't care if the buildings are not sturdy in Rolling Heights from @alderaceg.bsky.social This game just looks so good and the meeple throwing mechanic is so much fun. Solo opponent is simple to operate but I would have wanted cards instead of dice + a round tracker. #boardgames #soloboardgames 0100
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/06/2025A new pope was elected in May. Around that time I played Avignon: A Clash of Popes with different people. I also did two #threespan plays in May 🐠🐦🐉 A slump in plays in the middle of May but started to pick up again toward the end. #boardgames #bgstats 090
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 31/05/2025I put on a french family movie for a sudden movie night, knowing nothing about it: Family Pack (Loups-Garous) Turns out it was Werewolves of Miller's Hollow the movie. It's an ok family flick, but it is the best movie based on real #boardgames I think I've seen 😉 150
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 26/05/2025I just barely saved Earth in my first game of Under Falling Skies from @czechgamesedition.bsky.social I quite like the simplicity of the mechanics. Quick upkeep between my turns. I'll have to play a few more times to see how repetitive it gets (campaign might save it). #boardgames #soloboardgames 190
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 18/05/2025I just painted my first models. Well... the base of the models. To faster distinguish between the rouleur and the sprinteur in a game of Flamme Rouge, I painted the base of each model to match the color of the back of that model's cards. #boardgames 090
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Every year there is a friendly national health awareness competition called: Cycle to work. It's an effort to encourage people to use different modes of transportation to get to work than a private car. What better way to kick off this year's Cycle to work than a game of Flamme Rouge? #boardgames 080
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 04/05/2025Decided to do #threespan That is: Play all three *span games in one day: Finspan + Wingspan + Wyrmspan (from @stonemaiergames.com) Did all of them solo against the automa. It was fun but I'd like to repeat 'threespan' against real players next time. #boardgames #soloboardgames 4381
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 01/05/2025My April plays and yes that is Monopoly. My daughter saved up money and bought Monopoly. To encourage her to save money for things (games) she wants instead of spending it on candy or something, I played it with her a few times. The game is actually alright. Just too long. #bgstats #boardgames 1100
trickvi @trickvi.bsky.social · 30/04/2025The joy of getting a delivery from @buttonshy.bsky.social 😍 A few of these I ordered to be a part of my daughter's birthday present. The rest is my reward for being a great dad. #boardgames #soloboardgames 2211
