@silvylea.bsky.social I love a good Birming ham when it's hot and juicy. 🤪

I'm so happy that @silvylea.bsky.social helped host the @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social 5 Year Anniversary Celebration episode. Leanne YOU CRUSHED IT. I wish you were on the show every week! 👏🤩

Spent a long weekend out in Michigan's Lower Peninsula enjoying the beauty of the state. Elk, Maple syrup, Mackinac Island, and some quick games inside the cabin when it was hot and stormy outside. What a great time with the family! #boardgames #mackinac #Michigan

Day 4 in the Northern Lower Peninsula and the family totally ignores the stack of games in the cabin. They'd rather touch grass and go watch roaming Elk. How can I trade them in? Clarification: Trade in my family, NOT the games. 😂

"Baby, I'm going to sine your pitty on the runny kine!"

My first play of Galactic Cruise with @neversaydie4.bsky.social is breaking my brain!! What a great freaking game! ❤️

Damn it, Sadie, why are you so freaking cute!?

Beers and Radlands tonight with @neversaydie4.bsky.social Cheers!

Had a great time playing 51st State Ultimate Edition with @neversaydie4.bsky.social a few nights ago. Great artwork, great player interaction, and great engine building mechanisms. I really want to solo this one!

I borrowed a game that I've always wanted to try from my homie @toejam2501.bsky.social - Sadie's mouth dropped when she saw the cards are still in shrink! I get to bless this legendary game with it's first play? Thanks, TJ! 👏🤩

Look at this thing of beauty 😋

Hey all, look at this cool baby snuggle-cow my talented wife made! She also makes soaps, beard oil, body butters, lip balms and sews, knits, and can crochet. By contrast: I play board games and I made a tuna sandwich today.

One game that has always eluded a purchase from me is Scythe. I played it a couple of years ago, for the first time, and it has stayed on my mind ever since. Does it hold up nowadays? I will mainly play it solo. I need to scratch this itch 😩

Got Everdell back on the table after a year away from it. I'm looking forward to adding some expansion fun in the next few days. 🐁🦔🐢🌳 #Everdell #boardgames

Cold day here in Illinois, so I decided to lock myself in the game room for a while and play something I haven't played in over a year. Everdell 🐁🦔 🐢 🌳

Been enjoying Heat Pedal to the Metal Legends solo mode lately. Quick turns, Fun gameplay and it really shines with some great Classic Rock playing in the background!

Need a recommendation for a small footprint game during bowling night. Light game preferred for these non-gamers I bowling with. 4-5 players GO! #boardgames

"I TRIPLE DOG DARE YA!!"

What do you do when the cork breaks off in your expensive barrel aged mead? You deal with it and drink it anyway 🤷 😏 🤪

Who's enjoying mega Thanksgiving leftovers sandwiches? 😋 I KNOW I AM!!

@neversaydie4.bsky.social 👇

Played SQUIRRELS this afternoon with my daughter and her husband. Enjoyed some Black Friday pours of Bourbon County Stout as well. Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving weekend 🍻

Artwork like this in games just makes me want to just stare at it and be transported away. (I promise not during game play lol) This is just beautiful!

Somewhere, someone is prepping for an epic Thanksgiving board game evening. If that's YOU, cheers to you, and also let me hear what you're playing. I'm out having a beverage before last-minute Turkey Day shopping. This barrel aged coconut stout is 🔥

I've not taught myself the VIneyards expansion yet. If you've played it, please let me know how it is and any good strategy tips!

Finally got around to playing Andromeda's Edge yesterday! My Dwellings experience helped me with understanding the mechanisms, however I had a heck of time trying to stick to a strategy and was shackled all game due to pivoting and dumb decisions. Can't to play again! Deep decision space on this one

In today’s podcast episode we discuss player counts in board games including which types of games are best for us at each player count. Listen here: open.spotify.com/show/6VvgX2F... #boardgames #tabletopgames

So… I ended up jumping into VALKA from Terrible Games as it’s been on my SOS the longest. After a casual hour of vids/rules/setup here’s how it went: Turn 1) Quest card, hardship: -2 Stamina Turn 2) Quest card, rough terrain: -4 Stamina Dead At least the art is cool? bsky.app/profile/neve...

WHAT? Another DI flavor? I don't even have Dune Imperium base game and, over the years, now have found myself so behind in this series. What's next? DI Bix Box that has everything? At this point, that's what I need! 😅 If you're excited about this one, let me hear you.

I am remodeling a bedroom into a game room soon, so I had to frame my Khruangbin tour poster to display when the room is completed. She's gorgeous 😍

This just happened

I know I should get a proper piggy bank, but I've gotten used to using a board game box. Does anyone else do this? Anytime I have a few extra bucks, it goes into the box for future games/cons. Box bank savers, let me hear you!!

🍲!! 😋

Well, well, well... It looks like Im officially taking the plunge into my FIRST game conference. Origins here I come And Im bringing my hooligan friend @sethagonzalez.bsky.social! Who is going? Would anybody like to meet up for some games/beers? Influencers... please forward :)

Color me intrigued! 👏🏻

I forgot how much I enjoyed this song In 2022 👏🏻 open.spotify.com/track/2La21G...

This chill and enjoyable vacation day brought to me by a solo game of Valeria Card Kingdoms ☕️ ☺️ Anyone else enjoy the solo on this one?

Hey Origins Game Fair OG attendees... I have QUESTIONS for you! What hotel is the center of it all? Where are the after hours games? What bars/restaurants are fun? Any help you can provide will get you peanut butter cups :) @sethagonzalez.bsky.social #boardgames

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas 🎄 out there. Cheers!🍻 May all your meeples be powerful and dice rolls be fortunate!

@2muchenthusiasm.bsky.social The bourbon barrel used to age this black currant mead for 13 months was then refilled and used to age Wild Turkey 101 for 10 months. 😋 Both are being enjoyed this Christmas. I wish I had picked up a copy of Distilled to enjoy with these bottles 😆

Mead + board game = happiness

I should drink some mead today 🤔

This is phone I post from

Just received my Kutna Hora metal coin set from CGE. These are nice and will be a treat to play with! Now I just need my game to come in 😂 What games have metal coins that you love?

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Thanks Tim, Chris and Adam for being the best BG podcast around and for adding so much joy into my favorite hobby! Every episode drop is the BEST way to get my work week started after the weekend. (Usually a weekend spent gaming.) Cheers guys 🍻

I died so quickly!! If the dice are not in your favor then it’s very hard to accomplish anything (at least for me it was!) 😫🤣 Any one else love this game? It’s brutal but pretty fun. 🤩 #FinalGirl

3 player scenario of Tamashii: Chronicle of Ascend on Saturday night. The scenario was lost but we put up a valiant fight! I should have really paid attention to keeping my shields up. 🤬
