Hype time: there's a game coming from Connie Vogelmann (@connievdc.bsky.social) in the a couple years that is pure excite. No details - it's not my place, and please don't bug her. But I'm excited, because she's a designer I knew was gonna be a superstar within minutes of meeting

Use actual baseball cards to play Baseball Card GM! #boardgames #baseball Learn how to play: youtu.be/cYKP0yhxLe4

Shared a laugh with the owner of my local donut shop after she rung up my breakfast. Her: "Hey, 6 7! I don't know what it means, but my daughter said it's funny." Me: "I don't, either! And my niece said the same thing."

LIVE NOW: Grab those old baseball cards and join me for a game of Baseball Card GM, a new game that uses actual baseball cards to play the game! Can your team beat the Dodgers? #boardgames #baseball #dodgers Watch: Twitch: www.twitch.tv/ruelgaviola YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ruelgaviola

Cat Between Us surprised me! I like the way you manipulate card values by playing from your hand while also trying to keep cards in your hand that are worth the most points. The cool twist is trying to get to, and not over, the target score! Teach & Play: youtu.be/Ie3LkPuI5H8

I love tile-laying games and Fountains is a blast! The uniquely shaped tiles make for an interesting puzzle as you want to build to higher levels while still keeping your scoring icons visible. Check out my solo play through: youtu.be/CPWHBql_Xww

Had my local office supply store spiral-bind my copy of Dr. Finn's Book of Solo Strategy and Word Games. Although I have the PDF, I prefer having it in hand and ready to photocopy scoresheets as needed. Rules are easy to reference, too, when it's laid out flat. @drfinnsgames.bsky.social #boardgames

Aetherium: The Forgotten Duel is an abstract game by my friend Daryl Durston. He's handcrafting a limited number of copies for Dice Tower West in 2026. #boardgames Check out our Teach & Play: youtu.be/pLjsJpZQBeE

At long last, our first episode of Blood on the Clocktower is out and available for you to share with all your friends! And you should. It's very funny. We have amazingly talented people in this episode doing amazingly talented things. youtu.be/rpGIhJhQCf4

Two days left to back Cascadia: Alpine Lakes on Kickstarter! Loved this newest version of the award-winning tile-laying game from @flatoutgames.bsky.social! #boardgames #kickstarter Watch my solo play through: youtu.be/xMD1HscZ1Bc?... And check out the campaign: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

Barbecubes is a dexterity game that fits in a tiny tin, making it easily transportable. Bring it to your next grilling or gaming session! #boardgames Watch: youtu.be/QRYQ8KBu2gw

Daryl and I battle it out in Wonderland's War Duel! This is a brilliant two-player version of Wonderland's War, with its bag building, area control, and asymmetric player abilities! #boardgames youtu.be/xBlYogUDbEk

Highly recommend Grant's show! Michelle and I have seen it twice and it's hilarious. Best of all, you get to play a game at a comedy show!

This is a good question! I've talked about being red/green colorblind before and wrote a few articles about colorblindness, but have never actually asked who else on here has similar vision issues?

LIVE NOW: Join me for a game of Fountains! This tile-layer features an interesting twist with the flow of water and the unique shapes you'll be adding to your masterpiece. Sponsored by The Op #boardgames Twitch: www.twitch.tv/ruelgaviola YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ruelgaviola

It's time for some delicious treats in Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Besties Bakeoff Card Game! This family friendly game of bidding, drafting, tableau building, and set collection is from designer Shem Philips (Architects of the West Kingdom, etc) #boardgames Watch: youtu.be/0CsZnhGCnZ0

Cat Between Us is a delight. Try to lure a cat to hang out with you by playing cards onto toys. Each toy can have 2 cards. Once they're all filled, score remaining cards in hand according to their new values and try to reach a target score. Terrific hand management game! #boardgames @theop.games

Here are 10 games on sale now! Buy games for your friends, family, or yourself. :) #boardgames #blackfriday #cybermonday Watch: youtu.be/iT6EHXrVoNc

Happy Thanksgiving. I wrote this piece 6 years ago but I think it's just as relevant today. www.bonappetit.com/story/celest...

Two recent plays: Fountains (2025) and Revolution! (2009). Highlights: 3D tile-laying and clever scoring in Fountains, hidden bidding and area control in Revolution! Both solid games. #boardgames @theop.games @stevejacksongames.bsky.social

Love this Dodgers-inspired candy cane from Logan's Candies in Ontario, California. The store has been around since 1933 and the current owner took over in 1982. You can watch him make the candy canes in the store! BTW this candy cane tasted like a championship! :) youtu.be/vDuKGkaRns0?...

How am I supposed to focus on anything else today when the brilliant @vorpahlsword.bsky.social is MAKING A MUSICAL and these last few hours determine if it gets even BIGGER and BETTER with more DANCING? Please! Make choreographer happen, people! www.kickstarter.com/projects/amy...

Five terrific recommendations for your next board game. I totally agree with @sirbearsworth.bsky.social's thoughts on Magical Athlete. It's a brilliant racing game! #boardgames

It's Reiner Knizia's birth month! If you haven't play anything from the good doctor this month, might I suggest Botswana, a classic drafting and hand management game? Learn how to play: youtu.be/rKhe34kOhGM

Wyrmspan and Apiary designer Connie Vogelmann has taken the plunge into full-time board game design following the huge success of her first two creations - and the destruction she says is being caused by Donald Trump in her former career as a grants law attorney: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...
