I'd love a copy of 1825. It's a beginning moment in what has become a massive corner of heavy board gaming. These games fetch AU$100s usually. But this one. I expect another zero as it's cot a certificate from the designer saying it's copy number 1 #boardgames #18xx

I have plans today...

How long since your arse has greeted a bicycle seat? Mine usually does a few times a week. Often for only 5-10km. But I still feel good about that.

I'm so woke. Jesus would have been jealous. If he had existed...

Place holder post in case I actually do something worthy...

A superstitious, authoritarian bloke, who said "a few public shootings a year are acceptable" gets shot. It's hard not to laugh at the irony. It was probably done by someone wanting to defend their freedom and democracy...

Being competitive, playing chess, with Adam Spencer is probably many board gamer's dream feel. Watch this touching doco if you ever wondered what happened to this #JJJ sweetheart... #ausmusic #boardgames youtu.be/YdSDJzGV59Q?...

Games played so far this year.. Looks like a lot of pub play? If you log/record your plays. Why not post them below? #boardgames #myplays

@mattthr.bsky.social Radiohead killed alternative rock? That's harsh man! Also, maybe have a "brief" look at Avalon Hills' Up Front for a map game that has no map. I really enjoyed the Through The Ages visit.

New partymeeple video soon? Some of you may be mildly excited and such. #boardgames #submarine #printnplay

Played Dive Dive Dive! today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/26... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com

I needed this corner rounding cutter thing in my life decades ago. Stacking up all your cards and going ZZZUUUSSHH is so satisfying. AU$130 well spent. #boardgames #printnplay

It's crafting time people. Production of the @natewarren.bsky.social copy of Dive Dive Dive has started. Now to hope all the tweaks and rule changes add up to fun... You can find the free print n play files for the old version on my site. But I'd wait if I were you. #boardgames #ww2 #submarines

Shut up it's dinner. Snack = meal...

I'm working on a very simple roll n write to leave in a pad on cafe tables. Simple rules for those unaware of modern board games, but hard to win. Maybe it's a little too hard? I'm not sure, it may get tweaked. #boardgames #rollnwrite

We play Castles of Burgandy on yucata.de almost constantly. So it feels odd that my last play of the physical copy this was over a decade ago.... Maybe a little fiddly, but it did set the whole "what can we do with dice" thing going. #boardgames #feld

Was at STAXcafe in midland this morning. Eating a lazy breakfast, people spotting, and resisting the urge to buy music I really can't afford. When suddenly I had another game idea. I can't help it, honestly. A 10 minute dice game, solo or otherwise, to add something to your cafe time.

This is more than incredible...

I've had a gut full of Meta pushing agendas that are basic crap. I quit my facebook account years ago when they suspended it because I asked a user who was hating on a minority a few awkward questions. Then it trolled me wanting pics of passport/drivers license youtu.be/8yKKSx22e5k

It's backup time so I'm sorting though old directories. Here's a pic of a game nearly 2 decades old we use to close with. Random chaos in space. A total free for all. Can you guess the game? And do you know the hilarious "shooting rule"? #cardgames #boardgames

Here's something sensible to ponder. Not surprising, given where it is posted...

Running ideas past the Dear Woman this morning, I've come to the conclusion there are a good many folk having great sex, vicariously though Bridgerton.

Rounding the corners on print n play card decks can be either a chill hour, or just plain work. I got this corner rounding tool that can do most of a deck in one pass. More "play" needed, but it looks promising. Video review soon on the partymeeple YouTube channel. #boardgames #printnplay #cardgames

That game you thought worked. That your mates liked. That you decided to self publish.. Well it turns out it's broken... #boardgames #cardgames youtu.be/C0HcPvZf9_4?...

On this seat In my dusty world My tasks Gazing upon me Wonder when they get my next attention...

Oregon is, as we like to say, one of "my" most underrated games. Were it not for The Dear Woman and Mr Tommy Dean, I'd possibly not have ever played it. But it really is a clever design. Initially you think it's too simple. But trust me when I say the depth is hidden. #boardgames

eBay delivers more collectable old shit for a collectable old bloke. #boardgames #avalonhill

How often do you revisit games you once enjoyed,but have forgotten about? Hello again Settlers of Catan the Card Game. Unplayed since 2022. In this image I'm glad for the table, as you can't see how badly I've had my pants pulled down and been spanked (7-12)... #boardgames

BastardCon 2025 @ hybrid Warehouse. Thank you to Kill Devil Hills (band) Brendan for organising this gaming get together. #boardgameing

Played Auf Teufel komm raus on 2025-07-19 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com At BastardCon 2025 One of the better push your luck games. Much Ooohs and Ahhhs.. #boardgames

When you're too lazy to make dinner. But you should eat. Though tomorrow I'll be healthy enough to thump the Minotaur..

It just occurred to me that every name should contain an adjective. For the sake of clarity...

Today we learn this game. Bought off an auction site in years past. Rules reading has been in progress for about 2 hours now. 1970s copy can be a challenge. #boardgame

A knock on the door; My response to their introduction is, "I'm an atheist and I would urge you to give up your superstition...."

One from five is a fail right? Am I so shit at games? Or do I just hang with super intelligent folk? #boardgames #yucata

The idea that a company the size of Wizards of the Coast would move stock based on consignment payments completely baffles me. ~shakes head~

Q; why did the witch break of her affair with the sorcerer? A; She felt she was only seen as a hex object..

If, like me, you're annoyed with racists bringing up Tianamen Square every time China is mentioned in a conversation, you may find solace in this? People constantly pitching China as a military threat to Aus' is starting to get old... #auspol #china www.podbean.com/ew/dir-jvyta...

Completely steaming I had to add Pseudo Echo and The Knack MANUALLY to the trip J hottest 100 list... #triplej

After decades of not playing the game, I find my self connecting with a fine soul in North America, and learning how to play Squad Leader on Vassal. Have a listen to our experiences here. #boardgames #squadleader www.breakupgamingsociety.com/episodes/ava...

When you're sitting at the table and the Sweetheart is faffing about trying to work out which cards, from which expansion she wants to use... It's only been 20 minutes so far.. #boardgames #dominion

I'm not playing board games right now because I'm filling my workshop with the sound of an angle grinder. #selfie

The older I get, the more I realise the USA has always behaved basically the way it is now. It's just today they are standing on the pool table with their pants down saying "check this out". Rather than quietly smiling at us suggesting it's our turn to buy a round...

Played Imperium: Empires in Conflict – Worlds in the Balance today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3661 #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com

Back in my mid teens this game was the first hex n counter war game I ever saw. A mate owned it. So getting to play it today is quite exciting. Gotta love those 1977 rules.

I'd like to thank Combat Games for pointing out you can keep the components in the box. Genius! #boardgame

When you've had the USA, manipulating agendas in your own country, you fucken well feel entitled to have an opinion about US politics. #auspol

Today I'm unprofitable, and therefore free... www.breakupgamingsociety.com/episodes/ava...

Once upon a time, two beers was a beginning. Now it's more like an end. Still delicious though.

Are you angry the Uyghur's are not in the news anymore? Let me help.. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...
