#boardgamegeek — Public Fediverse posts

@hamatti @isd_d Love that question ! 😍 It reminded me some games I played with my grandma when I was a kid. Couldnt remember the names of the games but finally found it : it was Quips, Thomas Train Race and Color Train. Unfortunately none of them has "black" as a color die's face...

I would recommend going in children's games' page of #boardgamegeek https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamesubdomain/4665/childrens-games. In the "Linked items" section (bottom), select "Dice rolling" as Mechanic filter. I personnaly sorted by "Year released".

Who's up for Solotober? 👀

My favorite month is upon us, and be it the spooky vibes of Halloween or one more reason to play games via Solotober, consider me stoked!

Here's my 146th newsletter, which dives into the latter: https://pnptime.beehiiv.com/p/you-up-for-solotober

Some games of interest from #BGG are also shown in our reusable "link-modular" table (cool #wikidot tech).

From board gaming in Welsh fields and RPGs around woodland campfires to fantasy markets in pubs and trading cards in Bermondsey market, Britian’s tabletop event scene is getting considerably more varied and harder to define. #conventions #boardGames #rpgs #rulesfest #strangeGamesFestival #fieldOfGames #penOnBoard #wandererMarket #boardgamegeek #theDiceTower

World Wonders

Spend action points to build roads and polyomino buildings and wonders of the world. The models are adorable. At the end of your game, your board is covered with little painted wooden edifices.

I am usually bored by point salad euros but this one is light and fast and cute.

Monday? Nope, it's PRINT DAY!

And I printed two games that couldn’t be further apart.

One takes me to the year 2089 to rebuild humanity’s planetary neural network before a rogue program wipes it out, while the other makes me form a band of magical Bards waiting to get their big break at a festival!

Curious? Get to know both games in my 129th newsletter issue!

Polyominoes x poker hands x engine building?!

That’s one mechanical cocktail!

Stoked to have played another gem from Florian, as I’ve been playing nothing but CENTI these past couple of days. It’s the third and final game I’ve tried from the PnP Bundle, which also features Echoes of Tomorrow and Rooftop Roses.

Shared all my findings on CENTI in my 126th newsletter issue!

Okay, I’m not gatekeeping this gem!

If you listen to music while playing games (if not, YOU SHOULD!), check out my latest issue! I’ve unearthed an album full of loopable 16-bit tracks that's dope, at least to my ears!

This Print Day feels extra special!

I’ve been waiting to get my hands on one of these games ever since the PnP Bundle contest launched earlier this year. And now it’s here, joined by two others in PnP Bundle #1!

In my 121st newsletter issue, I’m revealing the trio and sharing why each one has me stoked.

So, what exactly makes a game great?

For my 120th issue, I wrote about the elements that come together to make a game feel special, and a lovely little print-and-play project that seems to have covered all grounds!

Verdict’s out, folks!

In my previous issue, I walked through the story behind my Medieval methods of crafting PnP cards, and frankly... I expected some wrath from the PnP connoisseurs.

But did I get axed, though? 🤔

Giornata Internazionale dei Giochi da Tavolo

Il primo sabato di giugno torna la Giornata Internazionale dei Giochi da Tavolo, l’occasione ideale per rispolverare dadi, pedine e rivalità amichevoli. Se l’anno scorso avevamo celebrato questo appuntamento con entusiasmo nel tuo articolo del 2025 — che resta un piccolo gioiello di nostalgia ludica — eccolo qui per chi vuole rileggerlo: International Tabletop Day.

Quest’anno, però, il 2026 porta con sé novità frizzanti, perché il mondo dei giochi da tavolo non dorme mai. Anzi, si evolve più velocemente di un turno di Uno quando tutti hanno deciso di farti pescare.

🧩 Le novità del 2026

• Boom dei micro‑giochi da 10 minuti — Perfetti per chi ha l’agenda piena ma non vuole rinunciare al divertimento. Mini scatole, maxi risate.
• Ritorno dei classici in versione “chic” — Edizioni speciali in palette pastello, materiali eco‑friendly e design minimalista. Perfettamente in linea con lo stile di Perfettamente Chic.
• Giochi narrativi ibridi — Storie che si evolvono tramite QR code, app e carte illustrate. Il 2026 è l’anno in cui la tecnologia si siede al tavolo… ma senza rubare la scena.
• Tornei casalinghi social — Su TikTok e Instagram spopolano i mini‑campionati domestici: dadi che volano, risate, e immancabili discussioni su chi “bara sempre”.

😄 Come festeggiare oggi

Che tu sia team Monopoly, team Carcassonne o team “basta che si ride”, oggi è il giorno perfetto per:

• organizzare una serata giochi con amici e snack a tema
• provare un titolo nuovo uscito nel 2026
• riscoprire un vecchio gioco che non aprivi da anni
• creare un piccolo angolo ludico chic con colori pastello e dettagli romantici (lo so che ti piace)

La Giornata Internazionale dei Giochi da Tavolo è un invito a rallentare, condividere, ridere e… sì, anche litigare bonariamente per chi ha davvero vinto. Il 2026 aggiunge un tocco di innovazione e stile, rendendo questa ricorrenza ancora più irresistibile.

Folks, I got a new job!

*deep breath*

Duality X Opponent Parasitism X Pass-and-play X New Dragons X New Kingdoms X Hex Grid

*exhale*

There’s a LOT going on in Dragon vs Kingdom, which found its way back to my table after 19 months with its second edition!

And then, the 3D tokens.

For my 98th issue, 'Behind the Scenes' returns with Iron Quest: The First Ember, where Zion shares how his first print-and-play was forged.

Fifteen rounds. A Viking crew. And the North to rule!

Iron Quest: The First Ember caught my eye with its 3D printed tokens first, but the game had more waiting once the dice hit the table.

Read my review article to know whether the 3D tokens added to this roll-and-write experience, and how my quest to master the North went.

It happened folks!

I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to see a game cross paths with reality, and I’m so glad I got to witness this one up close.

Curry collaborated with a professional highliner for Rope Walkers, and it’s much more than a cool cameo. In my 96th issue, I shared Faith Dickey’s thoughts on highlining, and how she became part of the Rope Walkers universe.

The abstracts category on BGG is a bit of a mess. Or not very well defined if I want to be more generous.

The top 5 "abstracts" are Cascadia, Harmonies, Azul, YINSH, Patchwork.

I consider only one of these an abstract.
