Flip Pick Towers

Hi, looking for feedback on Flip Pick towers (from Osprey) - has anyone played and what's been your experience? Also, would love if anyone has played solo and what that has been like - I want to be able to solo this as well.   submitted by   /u/avi-ator [link]   [Kommentare]

Online Hues and Cues!

Hey everyone! For a maths project, I made an online version of Hues and Cues on Google Forms. Just flagging it beforehand that it is definitely not a perfect simulation since the main purpose is to gather data. I would really appreciate it if you can spend some precious time in your day to try it out. I'm pretty ne

Failed Evil Dead 2 board game test copy

Hey there, I picked this up from a thrift store a few years ago on a whim and I'm looking to part with it now. I'm really sure what it's worth or much about it as it's kind of a rare item. From what I've gathered it is a test copy from a failed Kickstarter for an evil dead game circa 2016. If anyone

i made sequence but with mythical relics

hi r/boardgames — if you've played sequence, this should feel immediately familiar: two or three teams racing to build four-in-a-row on a 9x9 grid by playing cards from your hand. there's a relic system inspired by greek mythology. you pick your relics before each game so every match plays differently. free to

The Hobbit: There and Back Again - Will I like it if I don’t like LOTR?

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

We just finished Clank Legacy 1 and I have to say…

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

COMC — optimal shelf packing!

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]

[COMC] Shelfie 12 years into the hobby. Post-major-cull. Love euros & light games

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

Gaming (coffee) table

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

Which of the modern boardgames already feel very dated?

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

Mr. Hoyle's Games of Whist, Quadrille, Piquet, Chess, and Back-gammon (1771)

This is amongst the most important books on games ever published.

Board games where you learn an actual body of knowledge while playing it

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

Lord of the Rings Ascension

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

Tea Witches is one of my favorite new games, but the deluxe tokens are soooo frustrating.
