  1. Watching a Hegemony training video. Playing my first game tomorrow at my Irish buddy's house. I'm the working class.

  2. I will not complain about card sizes anymore, I will not complain about card sizes anymore, I will not complain about card siz… ok, but just look at these cards!!! I cannot even hold them!

  3. What's the story behind a game played entirely in your hand?

    Galdor’s Grip has been my favorite print-and-play for quite a while now, so getting to finally dig into the story behind it felt super special!

    So folks, here’s Gregg walking us through how Galdor’s Grip came to life in the 13th Behind the Scenes issue of PnP Time:

    Ample supply of baggies

  5. Designed a 3D printed case for Hop Shot my micro dexterity board game currently in final testing.

    Also commissioned an illustrated card back that's pending; once done will order a batch of cards and be ready to ship out prototypes to those interested in playtesting.

  6. Earth to Alice.

    (It came in a huge box, which I was tempted to leave outside to see if it attracted a kitty.)

  7. Guten Morgen! 🎧 Sitze in der Bahn, weil ich heute Morgen noch unterrichten darf. Dann schnell zurück - und noch ein Videomeeting. Und dann… geht für mich die #MonsteriaCon los 🤩 12 Stunden #PnPde , #boardgames und #Tabletop. Ja, ich bin ein bisschen aufgeregt.

  8. Minimisère

    Tiny end-of-night-trick-taker for 5.

    25 cards. A,K,Q,J,10,2 + 1 joker
    0 tricks, score 5
    1 trick, score 1
    2 tricks, score 2
    3 tricks, score 6
    4 tricks, score 8
    5 tricks, score 0

    Leading 2 or joker wins trick.
    You can bid to win 5 tricks and win 10 points while everyone else score 0.

    You have control over winning tricks, but it's hard to ensure or avoid getting 5.

    Did its job *perfectly*.

  9. #QuestionOfTheDay what's a work where the original thing is good and you like it, but everything made from it, spinoffs, adaptations, attempts to grow it into a bigger thing, etc didn't work for you and you think it should have stayed small?

  10. Squeezed Feya’s Swamp onto a small holiday cottage table. Took the turtles out for a spin… #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s

  11. um, what just happened?!

    the weekly email from BoardGameGeek (BGG) just featured my documentary teaser?! OMG OMG.

  12. For the first time we've exceed 5,000 unique attendees and almost hit 5,100 unique attendees.
    Not bad for a bunch of volunteer organisers!

    We'll be sending surveys out soon and look forward to your collective thoughts. We'll also be able to confirm the charity total soon too, and it's also amazing.

  13. Gold Country
    Knizia's latest offering is marked as being a cube rails game on BGG - which is a bit disingenuous. There is share trading and you connect things on a map but it is not as dynamic as a true Winsome cube rails game.
    I enjoyed it well enough but I prefer cube rails games. I need to play with the advanced rules before passing judgement.
    The steel pans are amazingly heavy for a game component.

  14. I’m tired, boss. At least for #boardgames I don’t have to jump through all these hoops to reclaim ownership of things. Board games are tangible, and you OWN them.

    (No I don’t, and won’t ever, but a board game that needs an “app”)

  15. Last night's #boardgames included Lords of Waterdeep. I'd long been put off this as it looked complicated, but it's really not: place your agent figures, take resources, cash them in to complete quests and get points. I came second out of four, thanks in part to a lucky quest card that exactly matched the rare purple resources I'd collected for no good reason other than they might come in handy. Overall, an efficiency exercise with some fun interaction. Not overly taxing, so would play again.

  16. #QuestionOfTheDay what's a piece of media that had just such a bad start that you either quit it then and there or it never really recovered from the bad start in your eyes?

  17. New games I played recently:

    Apiary - Space bee worker placement game. A little confusing at first. I like the worker strength as a mechanic. I tied for last place since I didn't really have a plan.

    Heat: Pedal to the Metal - Racing with a light resource management vibe. Turns are pretty simple, but there's some strategy about when to use your heat and what cards you should keep in your hand. I would like to play this again!
