FYI for those of you getting files ahead of PnP Arcade's closure, if you need help retrieving your files PnP Arcade is still answering emails.

It appears that they aren't, or *can't*, send email notification of the closure to people who have bought from them, so boost the signal! The deadline to grab your files is approaching! #boardgames #printnplay

I've just found out that PnP Arcade is closing down☹️ I've browsed them some, but can't recall if I've actually made a purchase through them🤔 Would I have gotten a "grab your files, we're closing" email if I'd used them? #boardgames

Looking forward to warm sunny beach-y days. This game looks beautiful! #boardgames

This is a bit different from my usual videos. Showing you 10 unique playing card decks. I don't really collect them. But I sometimes see a deck & the art grabs me. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes whimsical. A pack of wonderfulness! youtu.be/AZn_bwLJTC0 @gamenightpicks.com Chaz, this one's for you!

UD's announcement is baffling. Either they're a boardgame publisher who pays NO attention to what's happening in the #boardgame community (eg: furious backlash against CGE re: Potter license) or they knew & decided to give the finger to the LGBTQ+ community. Clueless or malicious is not a good look🙄

MORE WINE!🍷

Happiness is a warm lapdog on a chilly morning. Esme is very comfy🙂 #chihuahua #rescuedog #dogsofbluesky

Game day today! 4 person play of Moon Colony Bloodbath AND we made it all the way through the Event deck!🎉 I did really well, but one of the people I taught won! #boardgames

Happy rebirthday, Esme!🎉 She was a starving street chihuahua a local rescue group picked up. 4 yrs ago today I took her home and she started her new life! Such a joyful companion animal❣️ And quite the little boardgamer dog, too! (Leave the table: lose your chair!😆) #dogsofbluesky #dogs #chihuahua

The first video of the new year is up! A look back at notable and most played games of 2025!🎉 youtu.be/8XmLNt735b8 #boardgames

Discovered that it's possible to win without any Helsinki, Copenhagen, or Stockholm routes. (I did draw one Oslo destination card, though.) Ticket to Ride Nordic Countries. #boardgames

First #boardgame of 2026: Winter Carcassonne❄️ Then a couple of Pack O Games: Dig & Bog. Love the artwork on both! Such derpy dogs! Such expressive Frogs! Dig was nifty. Bog was surprisingly cut-throat for such cute frogs🐸 Played 2 games of Moon Colony Bloodbath but did so badly I didn't take pics🤣

2025 BGStats for on-the-table play. 2 versions of Carcassonne--regular & Winter 2nd ed. 4 of top 9 were new to us: Martian Dice, Obsession, Space Base, & Moon Colony Bloodbath. 3 were first played at PeliCon. Surprisingly good stats considering my health issues this past year! Happy new year!🎉

Last play of Obsession for 2025! #boardgames

Set up for 1st play of Forever Home, which the family gave us for Christmas. The dog art is so good I almost forgot to look at the pattern on the cards!😆 Esme, our little street chihuahua, really loves the theme! #boardgames #dogsofbluesky #chihuahua

We also got this little gem, but will be playing it another day when we have time to sink into the story. (The rest of our day will be games with family and lots of food!) #boardgames

We did it! On Christmas morning! We got all the way through the Event deck of Moon Colony Bloodbath to trigger game end. I won with 20 population left. It's the first time no one has triggered game end by having zero population. A happy Christmas for the doomed moon colony😆 #boardgames

Dice Advent Calendar Day 25: A shiny metal D20 for Christmas Day! The golden snowman is the 20. Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone❣️🎄🎅⛄️🎁🎉

Dice Advent Calendar Day 24: A hot pink D20 to complete the 4th set! (The other mixed set also had a pink D20, though it was a much lighter color & had gold numbers.) One more day to go, & it's supposed to be another D20 (metal)! #boardgames

Advent Dice Calendar Day 23: Another percentile die, jade green and pink. A little pop of springtime in late December!🌸 #boardgames

Our Moon Colony Bloodbath end trigger is always someone losing all population. BUT today we almost made it to the end of Event deck!! Soooo close! Game end card in sight, but we couldn't get the "add next event" card before our population tanked. I won with 1 single people token left. #boardgames

Board games yesterday! A couple of games of Jokkmokk The Winter Market & Ticket to Ride Nordic Countries. We've been playing TtR Northern Lights so much that it was a bit of a jolt to go back to Nordic Countries! Every TtR is a bit different! #boardgames

Advent Dice Calendar Day 22: Whoa! A metal D8! This looks like a widget from a space ship, like maybe a '50s sci-fi movie. Kind of artistic industrial. #boardgames

When I started using this app I thought it was kinda ultimate, and since then there's been so many brilliant updates and added features that I don't even know what word describes it--what's beyond "ultimate"?🤣 Wishing everyone at BGStats a happy holiday season🎄 ❣️ #boardgames

Solstice!

Advent Dice Calendar Day 21: A very dark purple D6. It looks opaque, but held up to the light it shines blue. The black numbers on a purple so dark it's almost black seems like an unsuccessful design to me. On a table in a well-lit room it's not easy to read at a glance. #boardgames

Dice Advent Calendar Day 20: Beautiful iridescent D10! The base die is a dark translucent red, with tons of bright blue sparkles! #boardgames

New video is up! It's on Christmas (and Christmas-adjacent) games. I think at this point we officially have a lot!🤣 #boardgames youtu.be/v-19feBfuIw

Dice Advent Calendar Day 19: The final die in the holiday elf set, D4! (That makes 3 complete sets, with more to come!) #boardgames

Just got holiday greetings email from @calliopegames.bsky.social Which reminds me: MARTIAN DICE!!! They reprinted it! It's @scottalmes.bsky.social 1st published game! They have other good stuff! (Like Tsuro!) If you're done Xmas shopping or don't do Xmas, then NEW YEAR'S EVE!! MARTIANS! #boardgames

Dice Advent Calendar Day 18: Pale yellow D12 with blue sparkles! #boardgames

Dice Advent Calendar Day 17: D6 with elf inclusion. This is the penultimate die for the elf set. All I need is the elf D4 to complete it. So far I've gotten 1 mini-dice set (Day 1), one full set of mixed dice, all but one of the holiday (elf) set, & a few of what will be a 4th mixed set! #boardgames

Yay! This will be the first thing we watch tonight! 🎉

Dice Advent Calendar Day 16: Oh, wow! This was unexpected. A departure from cooler colors on the spectrum, this golden D8 almost looks like amber! #boardgames

And, of course, being a boardgamer, I immediately thought "Le Havre: The Inland Port". (Which I have played, but not in a long time. Maybe next time I play I'll think of this Monet painting!) #boardgames

Dice Advent Calendar Day 15: Dark blue D4 with gold numbers. It's so dark that I had to set it up slightly tipped so the light could show the color. #boardgames

Today played a couple of games of Christmas Patchwork and Spirits of Christmas. The latter is a nifty new Christmas co-op Jen & Jayne from Spielmill @isotriajayne.bsky.social sent us! A fun addition to our collection of Christmas themed #boardgames

Lookee! New Spielmill video coming soon!🎉

Dice Advent Calendar Day 14: Dark blue and milky white D10 percentile die. This is the 3rd percentile die in the calendar (4th if you count the one in the mini-dice set). This could be the beginning of another mixed set! #boardgames

Dice Advent Calendar Day 13: It's Santa! I'm guessing this is the D20 for the "elf" set since he's "a right jolly old elf"...but I thought that was supposed to be the final day's dice🤔 Also...Santa does not look jolly. "He's an angry elf."😬🎅😆 #boardgames

Dice Advent Calendar update: I just realized that with today's die (Fri, Day 12) I have 2 complete sets of dice (counting Day 1's mini-dice set) & 4/7 elf dice set! 13 days left, including 3 elves I haven't discovered yet, & that still leaves 10 days of dice! A 4th set maybe?🤞#boardgames

OMG I just realized I hadn't pinned the Cookie Party feed for the holiday season!🤦‍♀️ Have a cookie!🍪 #CookieParty #holidaybaking bsky.app/profile/did:...

May your days be merry and bright!😆⛄️🎄⛄️

Dice Advent Calendar Day 12: A dark glitter-green D6! VERY shiny!

Dice Advent Calendar Day 11: A frosty-looking D8! Shiny! #boardgames

Shiny new Year end stats!🎉

Dice Advent Calendar Day 10: Another elf die! I believe there's supposed to be a full set of elves eventually. (Is there a collective noun for elves??) #boardgames

It's been over 4 months, but, finally, I'm back with a new video! Not a holiday video, but there is some holiday stuff in it! Just trying to catch up and get back into the rhythm of making board game videos again! Good to be back! #boardgames youtu.be/4GhyJMqXXU8

Dice Advent Calendar Day 9: This is my favorite die so far! Gorgeous D20! Translucent, sparkly pale pink, with gold numbers. The picture really doesn't do it justice. The way the tiny sparkles catch the light hints at some kind of wonderful magic! ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!! #boardgames
