We’re a couple of beans (Joana 🇵🇹 and Christian 🇸🇪) making and sharing board game related content. #BoardGames YouTube: www.youtube.com/@BoardGameBeans

Sourdough discard, oatmeal and raisin cookies 🍪, and the board game Daybreak which we finally managed to play! Loved the game even though we lost... hard. Loved the cookies. Today was a good day.

Text on the box reads: 

"From the creator of Pandemic. Matt Leacock & Matteo Menapace."

Our system for storing board games is to chuck them (gently) into a box, which then goes into a Kallax. Paired with a "database" to help us find anything we need. We'll be explaining it all a bit more in an upcoming video 😊 How do you like to organise/manage your collection? #BoardGames

I want to thank people who took the time to read the document and watch the video I shared. It is also important to me that it is understood: I do not believe Matthew, Paula, Monique or Naveen (or anyone else) had involvement (or awareness) of the actions the owner of Game Night Picks took. 1/4

We've decided to move on from TikTok, and in 5 days we will delete our account from the platform. If you've watched, interacted with, or shared our content from there, thank you 💜 We'll still be posting short form videos on YouTube, and hopefully @skylight.social once that is available in the EU.

Today we played Schotten Totten for the first time! Pleasantly surprised by this 1v1 lane battler card game. We found it simple to learn and quick to play. After a few more games of the base game we'll be sure to add in the extra variant cards! #BoardGames

In the middle on the table are the cards we've played against a central border line.

To start 2026, we played a new (to us) game! Rebirth has been on our shelf of opportunity for a few months now, and we're really glad to have experienced today. Lovely production, simple to get into, and we found it really fun to play 🏰 #BoardGames
