Tom showing why he’s the best at what he does. A masterwork of a review for a masterwork of a game. Board games have never been better. Huge congrats to the lovely team at @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social.

Shut Up & Sit Down’s review of The Old King’s Crown has been blasted out into the Youtubisphere and we are beyond happy. youtu.be/H7hg92a6xQI?...

It was amazing to spend time chatting and running demos over the 3 days. Lovely to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones! We’ll see you all next time! Big hugs x @robtrounce.bsky.social @tettix.bsky.social @chrisgrace.com @zatutrade.bsky.social @ancientrobotgames.bsky.social

A few highlights… 👑 Plenty of sessions of @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social. 🐺 Clinching victory in mega game, Den of Wolves. 💃 Surprise balls and tentative trust in Molly House. 👹 A brutal session of @mothership.bsky.social.

Strange Games in the heart of Sussex. My fave event of the year. Camping + gaming shouldn’t work, but it DOES!

Whatta man whatta man whatta man whatta mighty goooood man.

The Old King’s Crown. A game of richly textured strategic manoeuvres that ultimately result in card play that’s as taut as razor wire around your throat. Lovely stuff.

Emerging from the post UKGE exhaustion chrysalis. What a blummin’ weekend that was.

Option 4: All of the above.

Bus. 95% prosaic bus route planning game. 5% acid trip about breaking the space-time continuum.

Excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ?

As someone who came into the tabletop gaming space through discovering reviews in video game media, this move from Polygon is terrifically sad.

Dabbling in the world of Hanafuda cards thanks to @huffnomore.bsky.social. Here’s Koi-Koi. A set collection game which roughly translates to “COME ON!!!!”

Lisb-ow-my-brain-a. 3rd play of this and I think it’s starting to make a lil sense.

Acquire. Proving that a game from 1964 can still be an utter delight.

The magic that is Mr Pai Pai. Yep, those are blank cards. Can ya guess the rules?

Cyclades: Legendary Edition is really quite something.

This was a bit bloody marvellous.

Bebop! Beautiful little Knizian tile layer about hosting a jazz festival.

Eternal Decks. Like Sky Team on steroids.
