So I love getting people into games. I started thinking about how can I make a board game go bag so to speak. A bag or case that's small enough to grab and go for when people want to try getting into the hobby? Something I can throw on the car and bring to the pub or a gathering. I was thinking of carrying games fo
I just finished organizing my board game collection, and I’m loving how it’s looking and how so many of these games are so fun and great in so many ways! I thought I’d open a discussion to see if you agree with my personal top choices to date, naming them in no particular order: - Flamecraft: I am obsessed with the art
I'm looking to go on a board game vacation solo, but am not sure which one might be the best option for me. Has anyone gone to any of the popular retreats or cruises (dice tower, bgg, etc.)? Any tips for what might be best for a married solo woman who wants to play light to middle weight games? Tonight's game f

Censored my uncle for privacy reasons respect it plz Soooo, after trying arcs for the first time i invited my friends to play it again in our garage, then my uncle came in and he wanted to play but me being the amazing nephew i am said "nah, let's play catan" And of course not just any Catan, dawn of huma
Boyfriend and I were recently gifted the game Twisted Cryptids. We really like the mechanics of it, but we both agreed that strategizing seems very difficult, and a lot of the game depends on luck. I'm sure we're just amateurs and need to play more, but has anyone else played this game? And if so, do you have a

I’m looking at buying one of these games, I’ve played 7 Wonders, and I’ve played LoTR Duel, but I’ve never played 7 wonders duel. I’ve really enjoyed both 7 wonders and LoTR duel, some people online seem to be saying LoTR Duel is just an improved 7 wonders duel. Are there pros and cons here or just pros? I’m not the bi
I got into the hobby cuz of Battlestar Galactica back in 2011. I haven't really sought out boardgaming in the last ~5 years, but one of the few games I still hold onto is another FFG classic (imo), New Angeles. To me, these guys were just the pinnacle of whatever the opposite of ludonarrative dissonance is. They ma
So we just tried to play Bomb busters at 2 players and at training day 1 we realised it doesn’t make sense to even try and now we’re at training day 2 and it’s the same thing. I already know there’s two yellow wires - 4.1 and 6.1 and since I don’t have the 4.1, he must have it. So since I have all 4 1s, his wires must

A rare kind of dungeon crawler which is much closer to euro than typical for genre. It even has euro-style rondel, which limits actions available to characters: they have to decide in which action slot to move, how many action points to spend on advancing within rondel, and how to make best turn, since space in each sl
What boss battler board games have you enjoyed and why? Most of the boss battling games I've played have been deck building games, like Aeon's End, Marvel Champions, and Sentinels of the Multiverse, but it honestly never clicked for me that this is what genre they were a part of despite the obvious Many v. Boss

With not every game having one of these first player tokens, I'm hoping this generic one will do the job, especially when we go off on a tangent and need to work out who's turn it is!   submitted by   /u/Bags4Dice [link]   [comments]

The White Castle, has players trying to advance the standing of their clan with the daimyo of Himeji Castle in feudal Japan. And right out of the gate, I felt intrigued. Dice drafting/worker placement? Yes! Tight resource and a penchant for combos? Yes please! Feudal Japanese theme? Sounds like my kind of game! The pos
Hey, I was watching a vid and saw a very small preview of a game. The art looks great and from the glimpse it is a game I would enjoy. I know it's a longshot, but I am hoping someone will be able to recognise it and let me know the name, please. This is the best screen grab I could get, I know it's poor quality
I'm trying to get my wife more interested in board games and was looking for a theme that might catch her eye. She is an artist with a degree in fine art so when I stumbled on this game it seems a good fit. People who have played it what are your thoughts? So you think there is enough there to keep an art lover eng
by Clarence Simpson 1NSP1R3DIn a way, VNTYPL8S was born out of necessity.VNTYPL8S exists, in no small part, due to the fact that I committed to playtest a game that didn’t exist yet.The Unpub Festival in Baltimore is a great place to playtest your prototypes. It’s a long-running convention that’s focused exclusively on
Tabling Tableaus I once asked W. Eric Martin at GAMA Expo, “What’s your favorite game?” He replied instantly: Innovation. I hadn’t heard of it at the time, but I quickly tracked down a copy and have since played that wild tableau-building civilization card game many, many times. It has shot up to become one of my favor
It has been about twelve years since The Battle for Normandy was originally released. Since that time, new research has been made available, and the game has been played countless times by many players around the world who have provided a wealth of feedback. The game system remains basically the same, allowing players
Any advice for storing small games? I have a Kallax shelf I use for both game and book storage, and it works great for the larger games, but I find the small box games tend to gradually become a mess. Even when I've carefully arranged them, it's still hard to see what I have easily. It's also an issue I gue
Hi all! So my husband and I played through “Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West” a while ago and couldn’t decide what to do with it afterwards. It is definitely not replayable as a campaign, and while it comes with rules to continue playing with the board, we found that since we only did the campaign with 2 of u
The low sun drapes itself across uneven fields, gilding half‑finished fences and soil still warm from the plough as hands move with quiet urgency, gathering wood, shaping clay, urging reluctant earth to yield before the season slips away. Your family waits with hunger and hope intertwined, their future resting on each
I recently started using my 3D printer to create inserts, storage solutions, and even 3D minis for some of my favourite board games. It’s a lot of fun to upgrade the game experience and use those inserts to help organise the mess inside the game box. (You know how messy they can get, right?) I'm just curious, how m
I'm thinking of attending the UK Game Expo this year and was wondering what games other attendees were planning to check out whilst they're there. I looked at the list of new games on the UKGE site but didn't see any obvious "hot" games, though that might just be because I'm trying to restrain

I have been told that Ken Tidwell passed away (Matt Leacock has apparently posted a note on Facebook). Many of my readers will have at least know-of Ken …. because he founded The Game Cabinet, which was the go-to site for European games and (I believe) inspired Aldie to make BGG. Ken was also an […]

Lightning Train was described as Ticket To Ride with deck-building, but I think that will paint an inaccurate picture. It is indeed played on a map of USA, and you do compete to build tracks between cities. The core mechanism is indeed bag-building (a form of deck-building). However I find this a much more complex game

Humans have been telling stories as long as we can remember. From aboriginal cave drawings to folklore to dime-store novels, we’ve always found a way to weave narrative through our existence. Something about us craves the shared experience of a story. There’s something magical about walking out of a movie or finishing
The Crew: Mission Deep Sea - Joseph Buszek Despite my aversion to both cooperative and limited communication games, I really enjoyed The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine when it was released, mostly because I love new innovations on the trick-taking mechanic, and it definitely delivered in that aspect. However, I didn’t

This is the first time i ever played arcs with my friends, we most likely played it completely wrong but we were doing our best to play as the game was intended to play, we just sat in a pub, ate pizza and played a board game and it was a BLAST, game is like 9/10 will definitely play again, for those curious there were

Wombats are herbivorous solitary nocturnal mammals native to Australia, and — here’s the part you knew was coming; nay, hoped was coming — they poop in cubes. And stack them. Why? I dunno.

I am looking for a wargame of any genre that has rules for creating stats for any miniature from any company. I know I've seen at least one set of rules like that, but I can't remember what the name of it was, nor can I find it through Google, as I'm not sure what to look for. It doesn't matter if it's a free game or i
