my #Boardgame plays for October. Really glad to get Cosmic Encounter and In the Year of the Dragon back to the table. It's been too long.

Having folks enjoy board games is our glorious purpose. He/Him in the Mid-western United States. Post beautiful boardgames to #ThirstyCardboard. Pro: FLGS, small publishers, great boardgames, rock climbing, disc golf Con: shelving vertically, gatekeeping.
It's #boardgame night later! What's the best 5 player game in your collection? I'm hoping to convince folks to try out In the Year of the Dragon tonight.

Here's to hoping that I get over my sore throat before #boardgame night later this week! Kid 2 has been running me ragged with bad dreams waking them up in the middle of the night for the last few weeks.

Just a friendly reminder about what boardgame night is all about.
If you didn't go to EssenSpiel, congrats, you saved a ton of money. You should probably reward yourself with a boardgame or 2.

Can you door dash library books? I feel like that should be a thing. I'd pay a few bucks to have my book tonight rather than going tomorrow night to get it. I could probably be a hundred pages into it by then rather than just mindlessly watching tv...
How much does it cost to be considered an "amateur" in your hobby? I used to think #boardgames was relatively cheap but an amateur would likely be someone who has 20-40 games...at $40/game that's $800-$1600. That's not an insignificant amt. That's a cost of a really nice 3D printer or snowboard.

This has been my only grail game. Just sitting there waiting for it to come back around. I hope this gets done right and not done in a way where there is only an expensive delux-ified version.
Corey Konieczka@psycorey.bsky.social · 2w agoYup, it’s really happening folks. I don’t have any details yet, but I will likely be involved in some way. www.ghostgalaxy.com/blogs/news/n...
Remember as everyone seems to be attending Essen, you have tens or hundreds of #boardgames you can just play at home. Many you haven't gotten off the shelf in months/years...so they're basically new! You'll likely even have to re-learn the rules!

Had a dream last night that I was taught how to do boardgame design step by step and everything clicked for me and all of my designing potential was suddenly and inexplicably unlocked in a blinding fashion. So I woke up to a harsh reality this morning. 🎲✂️
Let's talk bad apples in your #boardgame session. A good group will have engagement and positive buy in. Players are involved and care about the game state and outcomes. So what happens when they aren't? What happens when a player checks out? Wants it to just be over? Goes chaos mode?
You go to an open boardgame night & have fun. Someone mentions Board Game Geek. You get on there later & see that they have rated games. You are f***ed. There are 45+ games until you get to anything that is remotely mid-weight (exception is WingSpan at 38). Weight isn't even shown on that view.

Idea to playable prototype in about 2 hours total. Getting faster at least. Will it be fun!? 🎲✂️
I try to be as environmentally conscious as I can in #boardgames. I play my games to death. I shop locally/non-Amazon. I would rather have a cardboard version of a game than one w/ plastic minis. I do have a neoprene table mat tho. I've convinced myself it reduces wear on my games & my table, ha.

Oof. I placed this order back in Late May. Unfortunately Captain Flip's expansion's release date keeps getting pushed back. Here's to hoping it ships real soon. These are the only boardgames I have bought all year & I don't even have them. How do people Kickstart games. Waiting sucks
My sad little #boardgame playlist for September. With elementary-aged kids and a teacher spouse, Septembers are sparse for game nights as school kicks off. We used a game night as a session 0 for D&D, which was acceptable as we got a D&D day in as well.
My boardgame group played D&D last weekend. All of us were new except for the DM. It was a ton of fun. I think we'll continue our campaign at some point here. I was curious how our AP-prone member would do & it was what I expected, still AP but at least we could move them along most of the time.

I add little boardgame backgrounds with quotes on them for my work Zoom backgrounds from time to time. Normally it's just my shelves behind me but I think it's fun to switch it up.
D&D Session 0 tonight in lieu of my weekly boardgame night. Excited! Nervous! Unsure what to expect. Glad the DM is experienced and one of my friends. First ever real D&D Session on Saturday.
Things that usually NOPE a #boardgame for me: 🎲 Only great at 3 players 🎲 180+ min playtime 🎲 Kickstartered 🎲 More than $60 🎲 Game that requires an expansion to be any good 🎲 Box size bigger than a standard-sized box 🎲 Sexualized themes or art 🎲 App required to play What's on your NOPE list?

Will be my first real crack at D&D this wknd. My friend, an experienced DM, is running an all day mini-campaign/1 shot. 7 players, all w/ no experience. Session 0 is taking over boardgame night on Thursday to prep for it. Wish us luck! I'm playing a Path of Glory Paladin based on Don Quixote.

As someone who grew up reading hobby magazines, Senet would be right up my alley as a boardgamer. Unfortunately I live in the US so ordering back issues would cost about $15 a piece after shipping. I don't think I can justify that. Maybe one day they'll print in the US.

I like to think that he hands over the CEO reigns and goes "Only one person can save this company and it's me" and he flashes his cape and goes to his boardgame design studio.

You think Rodney Smith just shows his own how to play video as the teach during his boardgame nights?
It's weird being an adult sometimes. Like hey I just ordered a turtle sand-timer to decorate my boardgame shelves & I'm chuffed about it. Not that I love turtles (I have nothing else turtle in my house) but I had a pet turtle as a child & also the shell pattern is hexes which has boardgame vibes.
