Will Victory Garden Change My Mind About Roll & Writes? | A Brew Crew Review youtu.be/9S__VHQN6dk

We didn’t even wait to play this one! Ostia from Uchibacoya is a great game and a fun efficiency puzzle! #boardgamesrule #boardgamesgeek #bggcommunity #boardgames #bgg #boardgamesaddict

This was my biggest review in quite a while, but worth it! Here's my review of Civolution. youtu.be/z_oSZY5NEqg?...

Last night we checked out Victory Garden, a fun new roll-and-write from Tunnel Monster Collective. I’m not big on roll-and-writes, generally speaking, but this one went over really well. I also love the charming art and vibrant colors! @tunnelmonsterpgh.bsky.social

All the cool kids are doing it, and so I was interested. Here's a link to my top 6 board games of 2024! youtu.be/m_NAAnfef_w

FINALLY had a chance to play Last Light and I was really impressed with how quick the turns went and how fast the game played! Super fun, looking forward to playing it again!

Braved the winter weather to visit our FLGS for Black Friday! #boardgames #blackfriday #blackfriday2024

Happy Thanksgiving from Beer City Board Games!

Marrakesh with all the expansion modules is definitely a table hog! Most of the modules felt a little superfluous, but I did like the addition of the camel track. It’s a place where you can send any color piece to move your camel down the track for bonuses and end game points.

I’ve never related to an animated character as much as when Bob Belcher’s turkey baster wouldn’t fit back in the drawer.

We're getting close to the end of 2024, and here's a list of board games that I want to play before the year is over! youtu.be/QZxBuMpvP9s?...

Seems like a good time to put out an introduction for the new followers. Hi! I’m Clay! I run the YouTube channel Beer City Board Games. We do reviews, how to plays, and convention vlogs. You’ll probably also see posts about our dogs, live music, and bad movies. 🐶🎥🎲

Ever wish Azul was more beige? Check out Intarsia! This was a surprisingly thinky game with some really cool wood pieces from Pegasus Spiele. #boardgames

Cora can’t be bothered to say hello.

I'm at the halfway point! I just need 50 more responses for my game show survey! I appreciate those who have already taken the time to help. Please spread the word! Only takes about 15 minutes and it is a timed survey. surveypluto.com/q/iTOs9CY8K

Spent the evening hanging out with friends and playing some of our favorite lighter games! Skull and Strike are old-school classics, and Trio is a newer game that quickly made its way into the rotation!

New arrivals from Pegasus Spiele! Can’t wait to get these to the table!

My latest review is up! This week I look at Forges of Ravenshire from B.A. Games! youtu.be/paefdJR6ce0?...

The deluxe version of Wonderland’s War from Druid City Gamesis an absolute knockout! Excellent miniatures, wonderfully tactile plastic chips, and don’t forget that incredible Manny Trembley artwork! We played with the new Shards of Madness expansion too!

I don’t want to spoil anything about Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood from Shadowborne Games, so I’ll just say that Blackrocks Brewery up in Marquette MI makes some damn fine beer!

Newest arrivals from Kids Table Board Gaming! Very excited to get Creature Comforts back to the table, and can’t wait to try Maple Valley!

In keeping with our recent theme of playing full games that we tried at Gen Con, we got a full game of Wild Tiled West in last night. I love how the tile drafting works in this game, plus the fact that there are so many paths to choose to score points!

Over the weekend we also got a full game in of Point City from @FlatoutGames. We played a couple rounds of it at Gen Con back in August, but it was nice to get all the way through this quick engine builder!

Distilled from Paverson Games is such a fun game! I love how thematic it is. The distillation phase and adding the flavor notes feels fantastic! I definitely recommend giving this one a try! (Not pictured: Appleton Estates Special Reserve rum accompaniment)

Saashi & Saashi make some amazing little card games! In Front of the Elevators is a super clean hand management game where you try to position your family members in certain spaces in front of elevators to score the most points. Super charming!

Empire’s End from Brotherwise Games and John D Clair is a cool iteration on No Thanks! Bid resources to avoid disasters, or claim them and try to rebuild. I don’t always like games that try to beat you down the entire time, but I think if you like No Thanks! like I do it’s definitely worth a play!

Don’t sleep on Virtual Revolution from Hachette Boardgames USA. This is a really solid (and pretty punishing) area control game with a cool cyberpunk theme! #boardgamesarefun #boardgamesrule #boardgamesgeek #bggcommunity #boardgames #bgg #boardgamesaddict #boardgamesnight #hachetteboardgames

Monday, 11/27! Myths & Mayhem Adventure Two! You can catch me and my friends playing D&D with community members and probably getting headaches from too much laughter! Join us at 9pm Eastern on twitch.tv/orrinn !

This week we played Emerge from Pandasaurus Games. It has a very pleasant theme of growing islands and populating them with plants and animals. The gameplay is very streamlined and the multi-tiered islands look great on the table! #pandasaurusgames #emergeboardgame

Here we go! Head over to YouTube and check out the start of my Top 100 board games of all time! youtu.be/MGTB3Bj5TGM #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletopgames #favoritegamesofalltime

Tonight is the night! Come hang out with us at 9pm Eastern for the finale of our D&D adventure! Even if you’ve never played D&D or watched an RPG session I bet you’ll laugh or at least find something to be entertained by! twitch.tv/orrinn

On our second play of Obsession we added in the Upstairs, Downstairs expansion. It added a more things to consider but we didn’t feel like it over-complicated the game. There did seem to be quite a bit of downtime in a four player game, but I still really enjoyed my experience playing this game!

I’m very excited that my first episode with OFPG Voices is all about scary games! Check out my picks, and don’t miss some great picks from @jencam.bsky.social and Jazz from Lobby of Hobbies as well! youtu.be/QL_34bBrLFk?...

The faces did make me a little uncomfortable. 😬😆

We had a great game day today with Evan and @mistressmissy.bsky.social ! We played Lorenzo Il Magnifico, and then they taught us a few fun, fast games like Vegetable Stock, The Deadlands, and Nightmare Sushi.

VERY excited to announce that @yjuliankim @slausondesigns and I have a new board game with @TOTSgames! CHUCKY is available here: trickortreatstudios.com/products/chuck…

Dominations is an interesting take on a Civ themed game. Gain knowledge and use it to build cities and monuments. The knowledge restrictions make for a tight resource economy, and the tech-tree aspect can lead to some pretty satisfying combos.

Join the mailing list at alderac.com/Undergrove and double win: 1. You'll know when my next game goes live on Kickstarter in November. 2. You'll make AEG donate $1 to One Tree Planted. 🍄🌲🍄🌲🍄🌲

I am extremely excited and proud to announce that Beer City Board Games will be teaming up with Our Family Plays Games ! Beginning in October I will join all of the fantastic contributors on OFPG Voices to bring you even more gaming goodness!

I’ve liked most games in the Garphill Games medieval trilogies series but Paladins of the West Kingdom is one of my favorites. There are tons of options, and lots of strategies to try. As of right now, it’s a tough call whether I prefer this or Wayfarers of the South Tigris more!

Day 2 at #grandcon2023 has been so much fun! Foundations of Rome from Arcane Wonders was a big hit! I also challenge anyone not to be excited about board games when listening to @ourfamplaysgames.bsky.social talk about games! #boardgames #bggcommunity #boardgamesgeek

Without downloading any new pics where are you at mentally?

Euphoria is a game from Stonemaier Games that I think deserves more love! The theme is great and I love the baked-in humor of the different locations. This is a game that does dice worker placement very well! I love worker placement games that allow you to bump another player’s workers.

Forest Shuffle is a fun, quick card game with multi-use cards, hand management, and set collection. This game looks beautiful on the table! It’s also a part of the new Greenline label from Lookout Games which will be producing games using sustainable resources and containing no plastic.

Each time I play Distilled I find something new to like! So much variety built right in! I also love a strategic game with mechanisms that can be explained thematically. It’s quickly becoming a favorite!

La Granja is one of my favorite games of all time! If you haven’t played this one yet, I highly recommend it. This new edition from Board & Dice is beautiful too, with some cool new content!

Oros was a super puzzle-y action selection game about moving landmasses to create mountains and building sacred sites. The tile art is beautiful too! #boardgames #boardgaming #gencon2023

Day #1 at #gencon2023 has been an interesting one! Lorcana drama and big crowds, but a lot of great new games too! In not-so-great news, my ancient laptop finally decided not to work for me…so odds are the convention vlogs will have to wait until we get back home. 🫤

Made it to Indy, safe and sound! #gencon #GENCON2023
