The Queen's Dilemma has really increased the number of icons, as any good sequel must

If Terraforming Mars appeals to you but you don’t want to support people with a public record of transphobia, may I suggest a much better game made by much better people Daybreak is incredible.

I might have to buy some of that final/canceled set of Altered just to get this card to hang on the game room fridge.

We're so back

There is no way this orthodontist featured in my previous dentist office's newsletter is a real person.

Lol this is a solid way to describe a game @pickpocket.games. Excited to try Thieves Market soon!

FOR THE LAST TIME DONALD - YOU DON’T WANT ALL THE CARDS IN UNO.

This week we delved into Eternal Decks, which is far and away my board game highlight of the year so far. Check out our playthrough of this cooperative brain bending puzzler, and there's definitely more to come of this one on the channel. Eternal Decks Playthrough - First Delve into Eternity!

Ugh I guess I better renew my passport now before this happens

Odd that there was no "Now Available" article on the FFG site about the new Arkham investigator decks. But I guess they're out?

This is adorable. In Flip Voyage you get your final solo score in the form of a sea shanty. #boardgames

Finally got to try Eternal Decks at a convention last weekend and was so blown away I immediately paid retail price for a copy on ebay. Def gonna be some videos of this on the channel soon. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/42...

Oh god I accidentally killed another runner who was already downed and just trying to peacefully exfil with me. Right at the last second where I couldn't have even looted them if I wanted to. I feel SO bad. #marathon

This may be the most impressive tabletop gameplay video ever made. I can't believe they pulled this off. Bravo @commandcast.bsky.social

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

I did not expect to be crying that hard at a Survivor tribal council. As a fan since season one when I was a kid that bit really hit me.

The amount of AI-generated April Fool's emails and posts in the board game space this year is a bummer. I'm looking at you, BGA, Sagrada, and others

The Trip To Japan Effect

Also I was 10 feet from Shigeru Miyamoto as he gave a short speech about Mario's 40th anniversary. I was fanboying over him way more than the actors. Childhood me would have lost his mind to know I'd see Miyamoto in Japan someday.

Literal front row at the Super Mario Galaxy Movie premiere in Kyoto Japan, nbd.

Money talks in this Kyoto bar.

First time in Japan and my cab from the airport had three cats in it. I'm told this is not common here but still felt like a good way to kick off the trip.

So suddenly I'm going to the Super Mario Galaxy premiere in Kyoto next week?!

Duel by tea party is how scores are settled in Wonderland apparently, and @neilan.bsky.social joined me for a first bout. Here our first playthrough of Madcala: A Wonderland's War Game by @druidcitygames.bsky.social!

Here on the eve of the release of Chapter 2 of the Arkham LCG... I'm not going to buy it. $200 for the core and investigator decks, just for tons of reprints and rehashes and no interesting campaign to play, just doesn't make sense to me. I'll reconsider when we see more of the next campaign box.

Kat ran a great campaign in a crowded district and nearly pulled it off. I know she's going to continue doing great things, for Illinois and the rest of the country.

How Forgotten Waters is meant to be played. (My phone just served up this memory from 2021)

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Sorry, Badgers from Mars and @sketchgoblin.bsky.social, I refuse to put these back in the mission boxes as instructed. These good boys are now on the game room fridge.

The new Bazaar character Karnok seems very good, based on my getting 10 wins with a different build on every run with him so far. But even once he’s nerfed he'll still have a cool mechanical hook, and great art and fun darker vibe. My fave expansion character by a lot!

Finally learned and played Sniper Elite: The Board Game by @rebellionunplugged.bsky.social and it lived up to the hype! Shooting with line of sight creates a very smart hidden movement game puzzle. I got caught quick and then the next sniper player outwitted us by hiding in one place for 6 turns 😂

Ugh I don't need an Old King's Crown expansion but I might give them my money anyway because I like their posts

Got back to Regicide Legacy after a couple months and it was as fantastic as ever. My one gripe is that the sessions are getting significantly longer as they get crunchier and the decks expand, but each mission remains clever and so satisfying to pull off especially when it takes a couple tries.

Finally some good news today. This show was, somehow, excellent.

Totally normal 99 degree February day

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

Wow, this game looks gorgeous

New Power Curve is up, the series where we rank every player card in the Arkham Horror LCG through a robust scientific approach. This time: Would you rather play the bless investigator or the blessed investigator? And, can anything sink lower than Song of the Dead?!

It's the good time of year in lemon tree ownership, where we enjoy having fresh lemons just turning ripe. A month from now we'll have cooked and made drinks with them constantly and used a whole 15 lemons, with 200 more literally looming over us. That's when the blessing becomes a curse.

@optimalplay.bsky.social recently ran Issa Brightmore against Scatha Kalani. Were they able to engineer a victory? #Ashes #ashesascendancy #plaidhatgames www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7nG...

In this absolutely absurd video, we finally play through Barkham Horror. It's the dog and cat themed official parody of Arkham Horror that somehow exists! youtu.be/sqKbTIiW6HE

Got Arcs back to the table this week, trying to get everyone in the group experienced so we can play the campaign soon. The story of the game for me was repeatedly identifying narrow routes to victory and then totally blowing it on the execution.

Screenshot from our Barkham Horror playthrough, coming next week to the channel. I cannot overstate the chaos of this moment when it's in motion.

In this episode of the Power Curve: How many creature allies would they have to print to make Rod of Animalism playable? And, a new best card in the game?! youtu.be/l3mp7Odh4Xs

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Amber Glenn, a queer Texan who started ice skating at the stonebriar mall in frisco at age 5, who plays magic the gathering, is an olympic gold medalist

Had a great time with our preview play of Stellar Ventures, attempting to sell out all of space capitalism to the aliens.

Stellar Ventures always plays out so differently - no game is the same! Thanks @optimalplay.bsky.social, @benmandelker.bsky.social, and Jordan for the awesome playthrough! youtu.be/EMCmExPFgK8?...
