@alyssagambone.bsky.social and @heavycardboard.bsky.social. As someone now living in France, I end up rooting for my NY and SF teams (the two cities I've lived in), but also now Philly teams and Oregon Ducks teams by proxy. So GG to both of you. It was a pretty awesome weekend. 🤗🏈⚾

@alyssagambone.bsky.social Damn. GG Birds! Some great 4th quarter D (or is it special team? I'm not sure who's doing the FG blocking)... Also, we only have highlights in France. 🤗🦅 Now, let's go Niners!

French annex of HCHQ representing! Vive le Carton Lourd! 😅 🐘 @heavycardboard.bsky.social

Another wonderful three-player game of Brass Birmingham. My 19th game so far and I still absolutely love it! 🤗 🚣 🚂 @roxley.bsky.social #boardgames #boardgamesky

I *really* don't want to upset @ianotoole.bsky.social, my favorite board game illustrator and graphic designer, but I kinda like them... 😳😬🤗 (I 3d-printed buildings for "Lisboa", my #9 favorite boardgame of all time (as of April). @eaglegryphon.bsky.social). #boardgames #boardgamesky #3dprinting

A couple of amazing games Friday and Sunday afternoon. First, my 18th play of "Lisboa" @eaglegryphon.bsky.social, always excellent! Then my first 2-player game of "Civolution" #deepprintgames. What an incredible discovery! I can't wait to revisit it as soon as possible. 🤗 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Excellent game of Shackleton Base at three players (the ideal player count IMHO). Artemis Tours, To Mars and Evergreen Farms. The winning player scored 32 points in her penultimate action and won by 3 points. Amazing! 🤗 🚀 🌚 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Cleaning up my closet and found. So. Many. Playmats, I've won over the years with Star Wars LCG (sold it) , GoT 2nd Ed. (still have all published cards) and most importantly, Android Netrunner (I own everything Netrunner), in my top-50 of all-time. I was a ruler the local LCG scene way back in day.

A little two-player game of Obsession with the Upstairs/Downstairs expansion. This one is still much fun and so thematic. I organized a lot and bowling parties. 🤗🎩🧐 #boardgames #boardgamesky

"Inventions: Evolution of Ideas". Another brain-burning, action chaining masterpiece from Vital Lacerda, with more incredible illustrations and graphic design by @ianotoole.bsky.social and amazing @eaglegryphon.bsky.social production. I won 99 to 97. 😳🤗💡 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Join us around 1815 EDT tonight for the unveiling of THE HERD'S TOP 50! The community submitted their lists and now it's time to unveil the aggregate, along with some stats! See y'all in about an hour! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmNY...

Hey @heavycardboard.bsky.social... I'm doing my part. Thank you for everything you do. 🤗

@heavycardboard.bsky.social Edward... This is *not* how you write 5 Glory to Rome in Latin. 😬

What a better way to celebrate the end Andor Season 2, than to play some more Star Trek: Captain's Chair. I played Koloth vs. Picard. I really needed these ships and planets. The timing of the planetary control phase is really delicate to balance (you discard the ship and it beamed cards). 🤗🖖

Wonderful three-player game of Great Western Trail (still 1st edition 😉) with the Railways to the North expansion (a must have, IMHO). Fantastic game and one of my top-3 #Pfister. 🤗🤠🐮 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Three-player game of Galactic Cruise. This one is an absolute keeper. My first time multi-player and it was amazing. Always something interesting to do, positive interactions, quick turns, just awesome! Plus a raid from our Star Wars buddies on this May the 4th... 🤗🚀 #boardgames #boardgamesky

April battle report. 36 games with 7 different players. Some solo games of Civolution and Galactic Cruise, some Ark Nova and Gaia Project on BGA and the rest were with two or three players. 🤗🎲 #boardgames #boardgamesky

5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Here. We. Go! A nice, warm evening, windows wide open, with an adult beverage and Galactic Cruise (almost) all setup for a introductory solo game. My "neighbor" is watching over me (😉). It's going to be amazing! 🚀🙂 #boardgames #boardgamesky

For something a little different. Two-player game of Spirit Island (RIP GtG 😔). Mid-state and end-state with the last darn village resisting (it must look where Asterix and Obelix live 😉). Victory was secured before the very last invader draw. 🤗🏝️ #boardgames #boardgamesky

@maikgruen.bsky.social Ich spreche nicht wirklich. 😬

Another wonderful 3-player game of Darwin's Journey on the Firelands' side of the board, with the Animal Companions and the Great Ships modules. Complete random setup. Still a top game for me. So, so good! 🤗🐢🦎 #boardgames #boardgamesky

A play in three acts... 😉 @kinsonkeygames.bsky.social #galacticcruise

@kinsonkeygames.bsky.social What does the Auth number mean on the Galactic Cruise employee pass badge (if anything)? And does the date have a significance? 🧐

Delivery day on a rainy Brittany Friday afternoon. And another banger from @ianotoole.bsky.social I can't wait to properly *experience* the unboxing. 🤗🚀 @kinsonkeygames.bsky.social #boardgames #boardgamesky

A few shelfies of about half of my current collection. The other half is in another room, but mostly includes lighter, family games, small games and various expansions. I'm in the middle of re-organising everything... Again... 😅🤗 #boardgames #boardgamesky

I put away Weather Machine and am starting to set up Civolution from @grailgames.bsky.social and #deepprintgames. I only received my French copy last week and am eager to test it out solo before offering it to my gaming groups (they are all quite excited). 🤗 #boardgames #boardgamesky

What another incredible game of Weather Machine, brilliantly designed by #vitallverda and illustrated by the fantastic @ianotoole.bsky.social. Lots of papers published and tons of prototypes built. We did quite well against Lativ's lunacy. 🤗⚙️🌧️🌨️💨🌫️🌞 @eaglegryphon.bsky.social #boardgames #boardgamesky

All ready for another af play of Weather Machine. Question for @ianotoole.bsky.social. Is there a list somewhere of all the tiny boardgames illustrated on the research token player board locations? I've spotted On Mars, Kanban EV and Lisboa... 🧐 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Just received the Automa Solo Mode cards from @stonemaiergames.com to add to my collector's edition of Tokaido, and unbeknownst to me they also included the updated and upgraded panorama cards. What a wonderful surprise! (Old, flimsy card on the left and new, linen-finished card on the right. 🎲🇯🇵🍣

A much needed break from Lacerdas with a couple of lighter games of Roll Player with the Monsters & Minions and Fiends & Familiars expansions. Creating your own D&D (adjacent) character is so much fun! So many dice! 🤗🎲 Next up... Weather Machine on Sunday. ⚙️ #boardgames #boardgamesky

A sobering breakdown of the tariff situation from the publisher's if Gloomhaven www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

This is becoming the On Mars feed. Fourth game in 13 days (two 2-player and two 3-player). Still absolutely incredible. Still discovering new strategies. Three wins and one second place. We accidently played the short game and were surprised how quickly the game ended. 🙂🚀🔴 #boardgames #boardgames

Some more 2-player On Mars on the table today. Third time this week (2p and 3p). Still absolutely incredible! The artwork and graphic design is amazing. Playing it again on Sunday. Then revisiting Weather Machine. 🤗🚀🔴 @eaglegryphon.bsky.social @ianotoole.bsky.social #boardgames #boardgamesky

Here are my March plays. 28 sessions, 16 different games, 7 different players. 🤗🔴🐘🖖 #boardgames #soloboardgames #boardgamesky

Waiting to submit my list to @heavycardboard.bsky.social as part of the herd, but in the meantime, here's my top-50 of all time, of right now. 😉😬

Two-player game of On Mars. This game is so incredibly good! The theme makes the play so smooth. The illustrations and graphic design are out of this world 😉. Can't wait for next Sunday to revisit its with a third player. 🤗🚀 @eaglegryphon.bsky.social @ianotoole.bsky.social #boardgames #boardgamesky

As we continue our adventures in the West Kingdom, a four-player game of Paladins of the West Kingdom (just using the Vassals micro expansion). I successfully defended my village from the the barbarian invasions through shrewd garrisoning, absolutions and attacks. Wonderful time! 🤗👑 #boardgames

Some lighter, two-player games this afternoon. Three games of Sky Team (one unfortunate crash and two successful landings) and two games of Hanamikoji (one of my favorite two-player tactical game). 🤗✈️🇯🇵 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Four-player game of "Architects of the West Kingdom" with the "Age of Artisans" expansion (we chose to omit "Works of Wonders"). Fantastic time was had by all, despite our absolute aversion to "negative" interactions (we're care bears to a fault). 😬🤗👑 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Two-player game of Though the Ages, with the Leaders and Wonders expansion. My top-three game of all-time. So good! 🤗 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Not boardgame related. I went out to make photographs on Friday. It was the first time in over three years. A great step forward for me. I use a Fuji XT-4 with a mix of 23mm f/1.4, 60mm f/2.4 (for macro) and a 50-140mm f/2.8. I also use a Gitzo carbon fiber tripod and various lens filters. 🤗 📷

Wonderful four-player game of Viticulture with Tuscany. Great design that really stands the test of times. We had the Oracle and the Messenger as our special workers. Very close and exciting finish: 31, 29, 27, 25. 🍷🤗 #boardgames #boardgamesky

Obligatory post about my February plays. It was a good month. 😊🎲 #boardgames #boardgamesky

At the VA today for an eye test, can’t say enough good things about the doctors & staff there but very upset to learn of the layoffs/firings gutting their services by the current administration. Veterans deserve better than this. (Eyes dilated so I beg your grace) @democrats-veterans.house.gov

Discovery of Harmonies. As a heavy euro game player, I was surprised by the simple ruleset, yet incredibly deeper decision space. Plus Mäeva's illustrations are just incredible! I lost both of my games, but I loved it! 🤗 #boardgames #boardgamesky

All setup & ready to continue our Arcs Campaign tonight at 1900 EST! Join us for the continuation of our Spring Streamfest Patron Drive! How does Act II play out? Come hangout and, together, we'll find out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sbg... Twitch.tv/heavycardboard Join The Herd: Patreon.com/hchq

Three-player game of Rococo (Deluxe Edition). I lost by one point (84 to 83). It was a nail-biter to the very end and scoring. The third player was a bit further back (she just didn't recruit enough). This design is truly timeless. We also used the Jewelry Box expansion. 🤗 #boardgames #boardgamesky
