I had a timely reminder on Sunday that Splendor is still an awesome engine building #boardgame. I love it when a game is so free of bloat and just lets players get on and fiercely compete within a simple ruleset. boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...

Our final afternoon in Cyprus and the first #boardgame played on my return. Could it really have been any other? #Imperium The Minoans were selected at random, but were the perfect choice, given they even have Cyprus in their deck! boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...

Some Small Time Hero-ing has occupied me this weekend. Want Slay the Spire but in a smaller box and takes up less space on the table? This could be the #boardgame for you! 😊 boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...

Do you still own the first #boardgame you backed on crowdfunding? I do, though my ‘keeper’ rate does sit at an uninspiring 36%. A stark statistic to remind me that I’m more likely to be happier using my funds to get games from my FLGS. boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...

By Order of The King will be coming to Kickstarter later this year. My full review of this excellent social deduction #boardgame is here. It’s one I can heartily recommended, and I didn’t think I’d be doing so! A surprise hit with me and with my school games club. boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...

Some space themed #boardgames this weekend. I finally learned to play Gaia Project and went back to Terraforming Mars: The Dice Game. The latter I much prefer to the solo mode in the original. boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...

I had something of solo #boardgame mini con last weekend. It went so well… right up until it didn’t. There’s nothing like a missing piece from a board game to evoke an irrational reaction from me! 😅😬 boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...

Thoughts on my first attempt at #boardgame design are in today’s blog. It’s definitely getting ‘somewhere’ (hopefully ‘there’), as Playtesting feedback has been positive. As to my next steps though, I’m a bit lost. 🤷‍♂️ boardgamegeek.com/blog/12040/b...
