there's this weird thing people do in the comments about solar success where they say that panel grids ruin the local environment and destroy the landscape as if coal and petrol don't? just because it's in the air??

deluxe expansions are getting out of hand

I guess this boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... settles that question at least regarding one of them Also "Funding goal is mostly symbolic": Well, you have brought that on yourselves. It doesnt have to be.

Finally able to close a gap : Playing Tribune Good gane, but unfortunate UI problems

A letter article between Chase and Thomas wonders how The Dice Tower mistook punching down on small games as having professional standards.

“Jimi would play Risk on acid, and I never—and me personally—ever beat him at all. He was unbelievable at it. He was a military man, you know, he’s a paratrooper, and I don’t know whether you know that about Jimi, but no one ever beat him at Risk.” -Graham Nash (h/t Knut Osmo via FB)

Post something silly or youll have an awful November. Not sure whether thats silly enough, but it sure is random

Behind is not the best title if you want to look for the game in a webshop.

Reading the rules for Fixer. The weakness of the Regime are people. I already love it!

This is the best still of a tv show Ive seen in a while

While there where a lot of tricktakers in Essen -no doubt the ripples of the big TT-waves in asia and the US - I think the real card game trend this year were shedding games. No point, just an observation

The biggest crossover in movie history boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogp...

Hey @cityofgameshq.bsky.social have you solved the conundrum that is Skiwi yet?

Got stopped for a random bag check by U.S. Customs. The agent pulled these delightful treats out of one of my bags and said, “So these are…adult games?” —WEM

In Human x AI Racers one player plays a "AI Supremacist (Musk?) trying to shoot the humans and avoid the AIs. I think I will house rule that the player has to start every shot with "I dont really want to do this, but everyone is using AI now, so I just have to go with the flow"

Schlange hier? Die Spielemesse im Spannungsfeld zwischen Hypetrain und Ennui Auf der Pressekonferenz am Mittwoch stellte eine sichtlich emotionale Carol Rapp glaubhaft klar, dass die Spieletage natürlich in Essen bleiben würden und dass es keinerlei Umzugspläne gäbe. Wie bei jedem guten…

Bid Coin and Pinatas are both tricktakers with standard rules (but looping 0s) where the number of tricks is important but certain cards causes tricks to split if won with them.Like chimpanzees sharing 99% of our DNA but are somewhat different, these play quite different despite sharing 93% of rules

My 5 year old requested that I get him a game with cats at Essen. Any recommendations?

Last game in Essen for me: Bid Coin, tricktaker. Liked it a lot,perhaps the most of all games I tried here...?

Seufz.

Playing the hypetraingame

Essen like its 1995: A plastic bag, some cards, a printout. Only modern concession is that there is no rukebook, just a QRcode

In the motel one lobby there is a guy next to us, wearing shades and he looks a lot like The Corinthian from Netflix' Sandman. I think I should be leaving now.

Homosapiens Labs games srd mostly in the Netherlands hit by a strike

Competitive mushroom hunting with Amanite

Delightful weird games, but sadly sold out

Has anyone tried the AI vs humans racing game/social deduction? from publisher @korokorodqx.bsky.social ?

Sinning it out with Carneval of Sins

Skibbidi toilet the game aka Skiwi

L`oaf was sold out, so hopefully a get a cooy tomorrow

Taking some time #TakeTime

Met the designers of Kavango, the nicest peoole in the world and a really great drafting game too. Schmidt picked it up and prices it locally and enviromentally friendly (got it last year nd was one if my top 5 back then)

Ich packe meinen Rahmenpot

bc i didnt take pictures the third game, where you trycto reach 11, which i forgot

I'm going to be signing mass effect at the modiphius booth Saturday 1pm. come say hi! if you see me also say hi. hi!

It always slightly amuses me when I read someone describing a game as "absolutly average" and then gives 6 out of 10 points

Quite happy that they liked it, because I think Im the only one from my regular game group who really likes it. So glad to have been able to play it!

We were pleased to hear that @cmyk.games will include the designer on their packaging in the future. Their box artwork, while striking, was ultimately a disappointment for hiding the contribution of the designer and other creatives that worked on the game. Thanks to all that voiced your concern.

Who robbed the louvre? Right answers only

Yes,can someone please make the game in english?

Manche schreiben so kurz vor der Spiel über Neuheiten, Trends oder die Messe selbst. Aber nicht Georgios! Der arbeitet sich daran ab warum Kritiken eigentlich mehr Weiterspielen als Kritisieren sind. #brettspiele

Going to tell my grandkids this is Arcs

Finally played Arcs. Like the moon (maybe) has formed when two planets hit each others, I feel Arcs was formed when two games - a clever card play game and a space-battler - hit each other at great speed. Its not those 2 parts didnt feel connected, but they felt tonally like 2 very different things

In der zweiten Folge des Tages sprechen Dafne und Fabian @bretterlate.bsky.social mit Marcus von Strohnann Games @strohmann-games.bsky.social über die Neuheiten, die der Verlag zur #spiel2025 in Essen präsentieren wird. #brettspiele
