These are games I'd likely not have played if we didn't get them at work, and they're both decent! Biddle is my fave, a dice rolling challenge game with underbidding mechanics (reminds me of Gang of Dice), while Deduckto is a more accessible and better designed logic deduction game than Cluedo

Come Sail Away by Saashi & Saashi was entertaining; a meeple placing, route optimisation game set on a cruise ship, with some cute art and enough variability to want me to play more!

I just want to shout out to One Stop Co-op Shop, whose channel I've been consuming a bunch. Mike is really good at walking you through a game, and along with Jason they produce a ton of regular content for solo gaming! youtube.com/@onestopcoop...

If nothing else, this whole situation has been great publicity for "Possess Me, Satan"

Ok hear me out; a limited series spin off from Devil Wears Prada in a couple of years, following Emily and Andy as they navigate their new friendship, with occasional guest appearances from Miranda, Nigel et al. They can call it "The Emilys"

The graphic direction on the new Godzilla King of Tokyo game is beautiful.

Really starting to question my description of myself as 'not a collector' at this point! I just can't get enough @restorationgames.bsky.social

What upsets me most about Terraforming Mars using AI art is that it's an established game with millions sold (or at least a lot). They've made money, this isn't some struggling indie trying to afford to make a first game look better. They could afford any artist, they just chose to save a few quid

How useful are Awards when it comes to looking to buy or play new games? Do you pay more attention to a game if it wins an award?

Kinda gutted I misread that one clue for that error but very happy with this time, I placed in the top 10% by speed! Anybody else regularly doing these? I solved the daily #CluesBySam, May 9th 2026 (Hard), in 05:15 🟩🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 cluesbysam.com

Who else will be going to the UK Games Expo this year? 😊

Had a rough few months because of reasons, but I did gather the time to check out Earthborne Rangers recently. Narrative strong games are definitely my thing, but they often fall flat or aren't immersive enough, and I'm not up for a full rpg, but people, ER was fun! Can't wait to jump back in

Imagine a TTRPG where you prepare a choc chip loaf style cake, and each major decision you must cut a slice off, and visible chips in the newly revealed section causes success/failures.

I just discovered The Pitt and oh my it's good!

Someone over on The Bad Place (r/boardgames) posted something interesting and enlightening; a summary of 36,000 simulations of the game Catan using four different computer players. I don't even play it any more but I found it fascinating! www.reddit.com/r/boardgames...

CMYK's Hot Streak and Magical Athlete race to wins in this year’s American Tabletop Awards, Fate of the Fellowship and Molly House also triumph: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... Huge congrats to @cmyk.games @perryjon.bsky.social @mattleacock.bsky.social @miasmacorp.bsky.social @alex.cmyk.games!

Finally nabbed a game I had such silly, ridiculous fun playing with the likes of @thingsgetdicey.bsky.social @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social @panda8ngel.bsky.social @crystaldax.bsky.social and more a couple of years ago! This is basically what if Secret H****r but Love Island

Is there a term for when you play a game twice, approximately 8 years apart, and end up making the same strategic blunder both times? 😅

I've not played many games lately which is why I've been quiet, but I did get to try Feya's Swamp recently with @moregamesplease.com and friends. It's a great new take on Terra Mystica with a much more engaging style, and an action/points cycle I couldn't quite get ny head round 1st play!

This was actually a couple of weeks ago, but here's a peek at most of my collection of characters for Unmatched. If you had to choose one to play in tournament, who would it be?

Dartmoor is so close to where I live in the UK that this was such a perfect game for me to teach and play for BoardGameGeek! Go give it a watch and a friendly comment and maybe they'll invite me back for more episodes 😁

I'll risk exposing this AI slop to a new audience for the hopefully greater good of making people aware of how lazy and hacky this stuff is. There's literally zero reason to use AI for this format of content assuming even that it's not AI written (🙄) Value real people and real work over AI, always.

What's the point of having a gaming get together in an old English manor if you can't get a couple of family group pictures from one of your favourite game systems? Unmatched by @restorationgames.bsky.social

This weekend I turned a big age (🫠) and celebrated by inviting my loveliest, nerdiest friends to a big manor and filling it with food, drunk and most importantly of all; board games. I even hosted a mini tournament for my favourite game Unmatched! (I came 3rd!) I feel happy and loved ❤️

Question time! Introducing a semi regular bit here on BSky to discuss the hobby with some fun and curious prompts. Today: "What is the funniest argument you got into as a result of a board game?" I'll provide my own answer as a reply to this question, but I really want to hear yours!

This is a video about the number of possible outcomes from shuffling one ordinary deck of cards, but put into a more graspable scenario *spoiler alert* number go very very big

So #BoardGame publishers - maybe think about whether or not someone who leaves random sexist comments on board game videos is someone you want in the credits of your rulebook as a proofer/editor.

The Dice Tower don't want politics on their channel because they want the views and the money from as many people as possible. The thing is, if you can't say a very bad thing is bad, you don't deserve a big platform anyway 🤷

For those who love a daily puzzle, @dnlnwmn.bsky.social put me onto this logic puzzle with an element of humour through sharing his results, and I highly reccommend! Today I felt like a brainy boy🧑‍🎓 cluesbysam.com

It's been so long since Chits & Giggles started, most of you probably don't even know I (Russ) did not come up with the name! The genius behind it, and a good friend of mine Ben, came to the UK recently and we got to hang out and game with our mutual friend Alex and it was great!

Tonight on GameNight! @chilibeannp.bsky.social, @chitsandgiggles.bsky.social & @heccubus.bsky.social teach & play "Penguin Party" by Reiner Knizia, Playte & @25thcentury.games.

Maybe it's not common knowledge, but from experience it's clear queer people make up a larger than representative proportion of the board gaming hobby, so when a company decides to work with a property intrinsically linked to trans discrimination, they should be made to feel ashamed. Boycott!

Today is the official release day for Sanibel! This one has a special place in my heart because I made it for my dad, who was an insatiable shark tooth collector and who loved shells as well. He got to play a pre-production copy on Sanibel about 6 weeks before he died last year. Love you dad ♥️

Kid: "Mum, I want the new Lorcana game!" Mum: "We have Lorcana at home." The Lorcana at home:

This guy is the luckiest player the whole game of Flip 7 then gets this play 😂

OK this looks cute! Mysteries? Stickers? Cute artwork?! Sign me up! @unexpectedgames.bsky.social

Hello! I've been pretty horrendous at using this app again, but I wanted to share that I'm currently enjoying this wonderful PuzzleTale adventure from Lauren Bello published by @postcurious.bsky.social It's about mysterious happenings at a long standing board game company and it's delightful

Come and watch me play a CMON game that's totally unlike any other CMON game!

Sorry for the censored language but this is f*****g HILARIOUS share.google/yg7Bwr2I6fQD...

Me (image 1) half hour ago: "I'm so excited to play this game!" Me (image 2) just now after this roll "I HATE THIS GAME!!" (just kidding, I actually enjoyed it, but this was the most unlikely roll you could get with these dice 😅)

I see great things ahead for this empire! Nothing can possibly go wrong!

I am incredibly happy to be friends with so many designers in this hobby. Every time a post pops up of a new game they've designed I get a sense of pride for them. Imagine being so talented you can create multiple joyful experiences for others ❤️

This is weird. It is obvious why it's happened, but it is weird, right? variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Hey all, it's been a while since I did some video content, so I'm really excited that I got to teach and play 'Pinched!' by @mightyboards.bsky.social Thanks to @boardgamegeek.com for having me as a guest ❤️ Designed by @davidgordon23.bsky.social & Jonathan Gilmour-Long youtu.be/mhkaG-hlf_A?...
