After a friend taught us Forum Trajanum we hunted down a copy for our collection. Today's the first time we've had it to the table and it's just as good the second play. Except I lost this time 😪😂 #boardgames

Learning game of Sugarrr! from @deltaphasegames.bsky.social! I feel so bad, my poor dinos didn't get properly fed 😢 #boardgames

It's time for mysterymonday🎲 again and this week the theme is Gifts, chosen by @boardgames.lydia. The two player variant of this classic has you leaving cards you don't want as a gift for the other player… how generous! Can you guess which game this is? #boardgames

Did I win our first game of The Sims Board Game even though Steph has spent half her life playing the video games? Yes, yes I did 😂 #boardgames

Trying some of the Industria expansion modules for Clans of Caledonia. Really like what they add but wow, the new board is a real train burner (credit to Steph for the terrible pun 😂) #boardgames

Guess the game! It's time for #mysterymonday🎲again and this week the theme is Mechs, chosen by @Gametimedadd. Forgive us if we're not quite meeting the brief this week, but this is about as close to a Mech as our collection gets. Iron Man versus Iron Monger is almost mech-like, right?

We just finished the last game in our "Play all our games" challenge! 111 games in 11 months. It was tough but we learnt a lot about what we still love and where our tastes have changed #Boardgames

First play of Snowcrest from @grailgames.bsky.social Love the clever multi-use cards and how much strategy there is packed into this little game! #boardgames

What's your boardgame super power? Can you always get the card you need, do you remember the rules that everyone forgets, or do you know the right snacks to bring for game day? Mine seems to be rolling whatever number I want in dice games! #boardgames

We Aussies are used to all sorts of deadly wildlife roaming around. But I still don't think we'd like it if a fanged friend showed up to our BBQ! Can you guess which game featuring adorable Aussie wildlife this is? #boardgames
