I was never really interested in any of the Lord of the Rings books, movies, or anything. My brother is thinking about getting it for my family. The gameplay looks interesting but I fear that I won’t find it fun with my disinterest towards The Hobbit. For anyone that has played the game, what do you think?   submit
Truly phenomenal. Best game we’ve played in a long while. Fun level, I’d seriously put it up there with Pandemic Legacy 0/1. Ten out of 10 would recommend to everyone. It was basically the best of the Raven adventure games combined with dominion in a legacy format that kept things fresh and interesting. I know it is hi
Optimal or not, I had fun implementing the Maximal Rectangles algorithm. I recovered an entire cubby for more games! (Definitely need a cull soon — many of these were games my kids liked when they were younger but which will probably never see a table again…)   submitted by   /u/jamis [link]   [Kommentare]
I’m organizing a charity board game night and would love feedback from people who have hosted tournaments, game nights, or large-group events before. The goal is to create something that feels like the Olympics or decathlon of board gaming rather than a single-game tournament. I’m trying not to overthink it too much, b
Hello! Jane Hoffacker from Incredible Dream. Incredible Dream is partnering with Riot Games to relaunch Mechs vs. Minions. It’s a project that I’ve been personally excited to work on, as someone who has spent so much time with League of Legends personally & professionally. Today, Incredible Dream announced that we’
I've culled more than half of my collection and I'm feeling really good about it and wanted to share. My small/card games are not shown, but I feel like Jaipur, Cartographer, and Crypt deserve a shout out from the cabinet. My top 3: Viticulture, Burgundy, and Grand Austria Hotel, but because we often play at th

For anyone (especially solo players like me) who is looking for a dedicated table for playing campaign board games so you don’t have to setup and put away all the time. I love this because it’s a coffee table that is big but does not need space like a dining table. The space and measurement is enough for solo board gam
The Tokyo Game Market has long been a hotbed of innovation, especially where trick-takers are concerned. Sometimes the games don’t work entirely as intended, but, hey, that’s what it takes to transform the world one small iteration at a time. The bricks of the forum weren’t laid in a day. Case in poin
I'm relatively new to the hobby, so I don't have much perspective. Are there any of the modern boardgames (say, starting with Catan) that already feel dated? Either because the mechanics was greatly improved by a more recent game or because the theme doesn't seem appropriate in our time.   submitted by
Hi guys, I'm thinking of doing a board game night with a couple of friends and I just wanted to get some recommendations for a game I could buy. We're all in high school, so keep that in mind with your recommendations. Some board games we've played include Sushi go party (we liked it a lot) Exploding kitten
This is amongst the most important books on games ever published. Edmond Hoyle (1672 - 1769) first established himself as a gaming authority by publishing his A Short Treatise on the Game of Whist in 1742. He proceeded to publish other books on individual games before finally collecting together in the first edition of
Sooo does anyone know of card games to play with 2 players long distance? like maybe 1 separate deck per player or something like that? I want to play a game with a friend over facetime maybe if thats possible? Specifically a card game with like a traditional deck of playing cards. Preferably something simple and easy
Hello, I am trying to get some Canadian, up-to-date answers for some family feud questions for a bachelor party I am helping to organize. If any of you could answer the following google form that would be greatly appreciated and super helpful! The first few questions are mandatory to get the general statistics as to wh
Recently played a ton of Wingspan and I love that after playing it hundreds of times, I actually knew a ton of North American birds, their attributes, what they looked like, etc. It got to the point where I could go out and bird and recognize a lot of the birds, and it kickstarting my current birdwatching hobby as well

As someone who loves the LOTR IP and who is a fan of deckbuilders, this seems like it could be a dangerous crowdfunding campaign for me. I've never played Ascension though! I was curious about those that did, do you think that this is just a simple retheme? Or did they tweak the formula a little? I'd be curious

Hi! Our 4 player group wants to play Imperial Assault but none of us want to GM. I know there are 2 options: the official app and RAIV, but I haven't tried any of those and it's our first time playing. What do you guys recommend?   submitted by   /u/Karrion42 [link]   [Kommentare]
Ordered a few things summer 2025 and put them on customer hold till I met the free shipping threshold. Released them in 2025 and received the shipment. Now in the past 2 months, have received duplicate shipments of two of these items, that I ordered a year ago and already received. Anyone else have weird duplicate orde

Hello everyone, I hope I have now read and understood all the rules correctly and am allowed to make this one-time post about my Gamefound campaign. In the past, I shared graphics from this project in this subreddit and asked for feedback. I implemented the suggestions, and would now like to introduce the resulting gam
Back again with some mini reviews for 16 games that have been hitting the table. As before, new-to-me games are denoted by *, and I excluded any games that I have covered in previous posts. This was a great stretch, where even the "worst" games were still quite enjoyable 7/10's that I would happily play a

I'm moving across the country in a few days and wanted to share my collection before it loads up on the truck. As you can see I have a few rare gems, some classics, a good amount of games for my kids, and some heavy big ones. I managed to prune a few and donate to a local place for young kids experiencing homelessn
Does anyone know where i could buy or even someone whose selling the expansion for onitama? For some reason this seems to be the only expansion sold out aside from a canadian distributor but paying an extra 15 in shipping makes me sick, id be happy with an all in 1 expansion bundle as well of thats an option 
I actually enjoyed this re-theme even more than Zombie in My Pocket. The mechanics work really well, and I love that you get to build a party of Pokémon along the way. It makes the whole adventure feel more immersive and fun. I ended up playing several games earlier because I just couldn’t stop. One game turned into an

Hello, I wanted to ask you what are the dimensions of the boxes of the boardgame Beast and it's expansions? I tried to google it but could not find anything except maybe the base game (27,7x 27,7x 9,3 cm). Thank you very much for the info.   submitted by   /u/prokseus [link]   [Kommentare]
I'm sure there are people out there with AllPlay tokens to spend after their last campaign fulfilled. Who has played the AllPlay tiny boxes? What are the favorites or the under-delivers? For my money, I've really enjoyed Fairy and Rainbow. Fairy is stupid fun but real fun - just mild probabilities, big bets, an
Hello everyone. Recently, I played Deep Sea Adventure with my family, and we had a super fun time playing it. We go to the beach on summer vacation every year and want something to play besides normal playing cards, both at the beach and at home. This one was a good start, but we would like some variety. What games wou

English is not my first language, so I hope I'm explaining this correctly. I'm not looking for game recommendations this time. I'm curious about 3D game mechanics specifically. What is the most interesting 3D spatial mechanic you've seen in a board game? Not necessarily the best game overall, but a mech
I'm not a Bridge player, but I have been reading about the game. This part of the rule surprises me. After the contract is closed, Dummy lays down his/her hand and thereafter doesn't take part in the game anymore. From a game design perspective this looks silly. It excludes one of the players from the game. Dummy essen

Ever since I slept on Bestiary of Sigillum: Collector’s Edition a couple years ago, I decided that CrowD Games should be closer to the top of my list of favorite publishers. As a result, I’ve spent a lot of time with their catalog over the last two years, playing through every single game the team at CrowD would send m
Nippon: Zaibatsu—2026’s updated version of the 2015 original, Nippon—is so hot in my gaming circles that I had the chance to play the base game three times over the course of a week, and it seemed like the game was popping up at game nights all over Chicago for the first couple months after it hit the market.

Hello fellow board gamers, looking for some pics of your game shelves if you use these ikea cube shelves. Or a general count of how many games you can fit in them.

I’ve been part of this hobby for a little over a year, and I’ve committed most of the classic newcomer sins along the way. In my pursuit of building a collection with good variety and “a game for every occasion,” I bought games compulsively, picked up expansions before even trying the base games, and basically filled m
With this My Favorite Wargame Cards Series, I hope to take a look at a specific card from the various wargames that I have played and share how it is used in the game. I am not a strategist and frankly I am not that good at games but I do understand how things should […]

For many people, Spiel des Jahres is something they encounter only once a year. A list of nominees appears, winners are announced, and the familiar Red Pawn finds its way onto board game boxes that in turn appear on shop shelves. Yet, the award itself is only the most visible part of the organisation's work. Behind the

I’ve to make a very difficult choice between these games. I am quite interested in the game Nemesis. But I have never played it. I have read reviews and people’s opinions of it. None of my friends have it so it’s very difficult for me to try it. There is a very good deal on a collection of the kickstarter edition with
Hey guys, I wanted to show you my collection. I’m pretty proud of it. The bottom layer is mostly D&D-related stuff, the second layer in the middle consists of shorter games that I can play often with my partner, the third layer is LotR-themed, and the games above are no longer sorted. My all-time favorites are WoTR
Hey everyone, What games do you enjoy playing outdoors at a beer garden, café, or similar places? I've found that card games aren't always ideal because they're so vulnerable to wind. Even a light breeze can make things annoying pretty quickly. I'm looking for games that are easy to bring along, work we
