Got a play of Age of Comics in with @dupthedodger.bsky.social and Adam last night. Clever worker placement games about publishing and selling comics. Loved the production with all the unique comic titles.

@silvylea.bsky.social happy belated 40!! Which beach was that? I've been to Newquay. Newkee :)

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Unconscious Mind with irl Tim. So dreamy. #boardgames

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social So far Wroth seems excellent. Fun dice draft, light rule set, easy to grasp asymmetric cultures and beautiful production! #boardgames

We don’t post non-boardgame stuff often but we do appreciate democracy and oppose kings so the BGHT crew was glad to be a part of the anti-fascism, anti-dictator, anti-monarch protests today. Long Beach, CA pictured here.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Tycoon: India 1981. Economic entanglement with some very combo-y action selection amidst the backdrop of the Indian industrial revolution.

This is what a "domestic enemy" looks like. Important phrase for military leaders.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Preparing for an extended boardgame weekend! #boardgames

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Wings of Glory. WWI dogfighting in historically accurate, largely unproven and untested aircraft. A description that puts me to sleep but I found everything about the game very engaging.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Power Vacuum with the incredible point-tracking statues. Looking forward to learning this one soon.

I feel like a conspiracy theorist here, but I can't stand the silence. Is Trump not in someway working for Russia?

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Happy Presidents Day!

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Finally took my copy of Stockpile out of the shrink wrap! Thoroughly enjoyed my 4 handed run-through. Player created stock bundles and Pan-Am-like bidding on those bundles are highlights.

@fifthmeeplepod.bsky.social I love your show!

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Smartphone Inc has never looked so good! One of the smoothest executions in all of boardgames. Sarah had excellent reception in the end 240-226.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Oh No, Volcano!! Super fun

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Parks! Still good.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Played Shasn: Azadi. More interesting than I thought it would be.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Main game room at Bggcon

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Really enjoying SpaceCorp 2035-2300 after a long hiatus. Saturation + Contrast set to maximum too eek out any colors from this GMT production. Still waiting for the personality + charm settings to become active on my camera 😬

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social More Frozen Frontier at Sarah's request. City majorities have been about a fifth to a third of endgame points, with other points coming from a variety of sources.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Frozen Frontier at 3p. Large, snappy and bonus-y. "Fun to play without worrying who's winning!" says Dad.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Frozen Frontier in action. Build to entice colonists and export Helium-3 back to earth. Engaging economic entanglement.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Fresh arrival, Frozen Frontier. Hoping this book is as good as its cover.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Investigating Mycelia by J.J. Neville. Stunning artwork (also by the designer), great production and excellent gameplay. A Kickstarter success from an independent publisher.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social De-shrinked and played Unconscious Mind today. It was dreamy.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Finally playing scenario 2 in what is becoming a very engaging campaign of Fractal: Beyond the Void.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Fractal. A beautiful, space adventure, 4x that plays well at 2, 3 and 4 players.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Arcs!! With Tim & Sarah. Excellent game with amazing friends. What a night!!

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Star Tycoon! Super fun, a bit ruthless and a dynamic market.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Investigating Biohack 🧬

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social A four-handed, area control, bid-war (plus an amazing production) is revealing some fun surprises in Skyrise.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Early game situation in Dune: Imperium + expansions. So so so fun

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social A game of Galactic Renaissance just underway!

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Dusted off Hellenica today. Pretty fun Civilization game where game end is triggered by meeting a combination of public and private objectives.

Dad's in town, so we're playing some of our favorites. Star Wars: Rebellion and Baseball Highlights 2045.

Ever so slightly wrong about games, sometimes.

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Reacquired and gaining lots of momentum for me (not for Tim!), Sol: Last Days of a Star.

@ladypicard.bsky.social Hi there
