British 🇬🇧 Libyan 🇱🇾 board gamer attempting and miserably failing to buy fewer board games.
Board gaming is a luxury hobby in my view. Not because of the financial cost specifically but rather the time. We can afford the time to talk about, watch, listen, research, buy and hopefully, play board games. We even have the luxury of getting annoyed about board games. How lucky are we!
Any deck builders 👷 you’d recommend to play with your 7 year old?

Beyond hyped to announce that we're kickstarting new editions of Mexica, Bridges of Shangri-La, Gheos, and Reel Rivals. Breathing new life into these long-lost board game gems has been an absolute pleasure, and we are so excited to tell you more about what we’ve been working on - link in comments
🔔 Note I am friends with the fine people behind this. 🔔 But the loving care and sheer sweat and tears they have put into reviving these classics is truly impressive.

PSA to fellow #boardgames fans with my exact taste in games: the Mexica/Bridges of Shangri La/Gheos/Reel Rivals (i.e. El Caballero) Kickstater from @playforkeepsgames.bsky.social has launched! I'll probably never again be this excited for a crowdfunding campaign. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pla...
Mexica // Bridges of Shangri-la // Gheos // Reel Rivals
Four renowned euro-style board games return with triumphant new editions.

I just realised it’s been about a decade since I properly started in hobby board games.

Another banger video from Board Gems ahead of our Kickstarter tomorrow. And with a thoughtful section on OG eurogames, emergent complexity, interaction, and 'replayability'
Darryl Boone@boardgems.com · 3d agoEnlighten the neighbouring villages by training students in the seven disciplines and having them march over the Bridges... of Shangri-La. This classic Colovini game from 2003 is getting a spiffy new version from @playforkeepsgames.bsky.social, appearing on KS soon. #boardgames youtu.be/7DJY2AOsUoQ
A brutal reminder of how our hobby can be impacted by the wider realities of the world. Something we don’t always feel comfortable acknowledging!
BoardGameWire@boardgamewire.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Ukrainian publisher of board games including Catan and Exploding Kittens is fighting for its existence after a Russian missile strike destroyed its warehouse, wiping out its entire stock of about 200,000 games: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...
Somehow I've managed to keep Punchboard running for six years now. I had a little dig through and pulled together a few interesting numbers and thoughts, and posted them to my supporters. Maybe you should be one too? Have a look either way - ko-fi.com/post/Six-Yea...

The year is 2050 Every board game is either published by house allplay or house bitewing And these noble families are locked in a mortal struggle for board game dominance. This is the house of cardboard.
Dear @allplay.bsky.social and / or @bitewinggames.bsky.social please can you reprint Broom Service and Witches Brew as a double whammy. Including some Kiki’s delivery service artwork and maybe add a solo mode for witches brew. Thanks! 🙏
One thing I realised, polyomino board games really bore me

I was thinking about a new podcast concept: Title: Boardly Speaking Topic: Phone conversations with board game friends here on board game social media and beyond about a few key topics. Not original but could be fun.

Not quite Gencon, but I am managing some solo elemental jenga with Aetherspire!
What’s the #gencon hotness so far?
Dang this looks nice
Board Game Addict UK@boardgameaddictuk.bsky.social · 5d ago700 Games 1 Year Game #432 - Reforest Picked this up after it got a recent mention on the wonderful @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Wingspan meets Forest Shuffle in this superb tableau builder. Got me hooked! #boardgames #play #boardgamegeek
I mention this because for some reason no artist is listed on the Board Game Geek listing for the game. Not all the art is by me in the game, but a lot of it is boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/46...
Skyward Republic

If you're going to #GenCon and find the Good Game publishing booth, you should find a copy of Skyward Republic, a game I did art on. Also if you can ask them who the artist is, would be nice 🙂
My wife very kindly picked this up for me during a work trip to Amsterdam. Thanks to @wericmartin.bsky.social for putting it on my radar.
