After a relatively quiet summer in Little Big Thumbs land, we're back with a new video! 🎉 In this one, we're sharing some tips for running a kid-focused game club, along with some game recommendations! 🎥: youtu.be/kVuH5r1ri_A

Every summer, I make grand plans for all the content I'm going to create, and every summer we get caught up with summer family adventures, and little content happens. So for this week, I've clipped our conversation about @dvcgames.bsky.social's Signal into a separate video! youtu.be/Vvv5w3OZt8A

We won't be at Gen Con this weekend 😭, but if you're curious to learn about one of @allplay.bsky.social's new games, check out our 90-second overview of their cooperative deduction game, Alibis! youtu.be/JlqbHdVTLRg

Teaching my dad some historical #boardgames using one of the Lemery Games collections. Spoiler alert: He whooped me in all of them!

My partner loaned out our copy of Cafe Baras - it’s her top game recommendation right now! I’m simultaneously thrilled that she’s preaching that @kidstablebg.bsky.social #boardgame gospel, while also feeling sad that our copy isn’t available to play this weekend. What should we play instead??

Cascadia Junior has been nominated for the Kinderspiel des Jahres! Coincidentally, our video review also dropped today, and we think it's a very well deserved nomination. Catch our apples & onions #boardgame review right here: youtu.be/gkUCFdmh5Sw

Donald Duck in Happy Camper - Taught this to my eldest last night, and we had a lovely time! It does a great job of introducing some thinky board game concepts, and the production is really stunning. Bonus: The game is co-designed by a Canadian - Daryl Andrews! @boardgame.bsky.social

Milo and JP are back talking about one of their all-time favourite games - Unmatched from @restorationgames.bsky.social! This time, we're doing a deep dive into Steel & Silver, which includes three characters from The Witcher universe! Watch here: youtu.be/b5ie-I7AFx4

Despite the fact that we've reviewed two previous Ancient Games collections from Lemery Games, we're always a bit surprised at how well produced (and wildly compact) this historical #boardgame series winds up being!

Word on the Street and Bananagrams are classics for us, and more modern faves are Alphabet Stoop and Illiterati!

I think we may have just found a new favourite dexterity #boardgame! Catchables from @explodingkittens.bsky.social has simple gameplay - play a card, toss your Catchable, follow the instructions on your card, catch the Catchable. Easy, right? Maybe at first, but...

Our 2023 Kids Game of the Year video is our most watched on the entire channel! 🤩 Are you curious to see our 2024 list? It's now available! #boardgames #childrensgames youtu.be/lIdGJG9kMJk

Last year we waited in line for an hour to meet Woody. 🎄 This year? They won’t go anywhere near the creepy tree! #halifax #actuallydartmouth #novascotia

And now for something a little big different ... I was recently a guest on the American Resiliency YouTube channel, talking about keeping a playful spirit in challenging times. Did the conversation turn to dexterity games? Maaaaaaybe. 🤪 Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKW8...

Big Bean asked to play Cafe Baras tonight. 🤩 She’s loving putting together a coffee shop!

The awesome @littlebigthumbs.bsky.social reviews Banana Boy VS Uni-Cone. Spoiler: It's an excellent stocking filler, not only for kids. Here is a snippet: youtube.com/shorts/-vXEo...

It's not an exaggeration to say I visit @boardgamegeek.com multiple times every day. I know this, because when it's down, I feel it in my bones ("hurry, hurry, please come back"). Just using this moment to bring attention to their annual support drive. boardgamegeek.com/support

Inclusiveness in practice: Them: “What do you do?” Me: “I design board games” Them: “Cool! Like Monopoly?” Me: “Yeah! You like Monopoly?” Them: “Yeah it's great.” Me: “Yeah board games are great. There are so many great games out now, too” Them: “Tell me more!”

"I wanna work in #BoardGames" reminder: There is an awesome Tabletop Mentorship program (now under the @unpub.bsky.social umbrella.) It applies to folks interested in a wide range of industry roles (designer, publisher, marketing, content, etc.) Highly recommended. www.unpub.org/mentorship

You know what, action figures are way more fun to take photos of than board games. I’m an action figure photographer now. I specialize in whatever toys my kids have posed up on the kitchen table 💁‍♂️

Submissions are open for this year's Nonbinary Tabletop Awards! Visit our website to nominate your work before December 31! www.snowbrightstudio.com/awards #lgbtq #boardgames #ttrpg

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are on this earth for a reason. It may be you are someone’s best friend, it may be you are the caretaker to a hurt animal, it may be you smiled to someone on the bus & so they made it through the day. But you are needed. Thank you for existing.

Working on a video for S’mores Galore this weekend! 🍫 The #boardgame is designed by @danielrocchi67.bsky.social for his new company, @mightyacorn.bsky.social! #boardgamephotography
