Perpetual Ploy (42% cardboard)

Gunna go shelf by shelf of my 106 boardgame collection as I get the time to talk about the games. It'll be a long 🧵 for those interested. So here's the whole collection as is. For the most part it's organized with lighter games on the ⬅️ to heavier on ➡️. 2P only games in top ➡️. 🧵 All/#Shelfie

"Live, Ludo, Log" Quick! Get the artsy sign folks on it.

Just a friendly reminder about what boardgame night is all about.

If you didn't go to EssenSpiel, congrats, you saved a ton of money. You should probably reward yourself with a boardgame or 2.

Can you door dash library books? I feel like that should be a thing. I'd pay a few bucks to have my book tonight rather than going tomorrow night to get it. I could probably be a hundred pages into it by then rather than just mindlessly watching tv...

How much does it cost to be considered an "amateur" in your hobby? I used to think #boardgames was relatively cheap but an amateur would likely be someone who has 20-40 games...at $40/game that's $800-$1600. That's not an insignificant amt. That's a cost of a really nice 3D printer or snowboard.

This has been my only grail game. Just sitting there waiting for it to come back around. I hope this gets done right and not done in a way where there is only an expensive delux-ified version.

If you're not trash talking, are you even playing?

But I'll die trying...

Always tickled by the phrase "write the right rite" but it's probably because I'm cursed.

Had a dream last night that I was taught how to do boardgame design step by step and everything clicked for me and all of my designing potential was suddenly and inexplicably unlocked in a blinding fashion. So I woke up to a harsh reality this morning. 🎲✂️

Re-Rebirth

You go to an open boardgame night & have fun. Someone mentions Board Game Geek. You get on there later & see that they have rated games. You are f***ed. There are 45+ games until you get to anything that is remotely mid-weight (exception is WingSpan at 38). Weight isn't even shown on that view.

I try to be as environmentally conscious as I can in #boardgames. I play my games to death. I shop locally/non-Amazon. I would rather have a cardboard version of a game than one w/ plastic minis. I do have a neoprene table mat tho. I've convinced myself it reduces wear on my games & my table, ha.

Oof. I placed this order back in Late May. Unfortunately Captain Flip's expansion's release date keeps getting pushed back. Here's to hoping it ships real soon. These are the only boardgames I have bought all year & I don't even have them. How do people Kickstart games. Waiting sucks

My sad little #boardgame playlist for September. With elementary-aged kids and a teacher spouse, Septembers are sparse for game nights as school kicks off. We used a game night as a session 0 for D&D, which was acceptable as we got a D&D day in as well.

My boardgame group played D&D last weekend. All of us were new except for the DM. It was a ton of fun. I think we'll continue our campaign at some point here. I was curious how our AP-prone member would do & it was what I expected, still AP but at least we could move them along most of the time.

I add little boardgame backgrounds with quotes on them for my work Zoom backgrounds from time to time. Normally it's just my shelves behind me but I think it's fun to switch it up.

D&D Session 0 tonight in lieu of my weekly boardgame night. Excited! Nervous! Unsure what to expect. Glad the DM is experienced and one of my friends. First ever real D&D Session on Saturday.

Will be my first real crack at D&D this wknd. My friend, an experienced DM, is running an all day mini-campaign/1 shot. 7 players, all w/ no experience. Session 0 is taking over boardgame night on Thursday to prep for it. Wish us luck! I'm playing a Path of Glory Paladin based on Don Quixote.

As someone who grew up reading hobby magazines, Senet would be right up my alley as a boardgamer. Unfortunately I live in the US so ordering back issues would cost about $15 a piece after shipping. I don't think I can justify that. Maybe one day they'll print in the US.

I like to think that he hands over the CEO reigns and goes "Only one person can save this company and it's me" and he flashes his cape and goes to his boardgame design studio.

You think Rodney Smith just shows his own how to play video as the teach during his boardgame nights?

It's weird being an adult sometimes. Like hey I just ordered a turtle sand-timer to decorate my boardgame shelves & I'm chuffed about it. Not that I love turtles (I have nothing else turtle in my house) but I had a pet turtle as a child & also the shell pattern is hexes which has boardgame vibes.

Every day I do the NY Times Wordle and Connections. Wordle is okay but my mom and I both do it everyday to send the results and keep in touch. Connections is by far my favorite and feels like a mini version of the boardgame Codenames with a clue giver who is a little loopy.

Finally boardgame night again. Oof it's been a long week. Can't wait to play!

What ever happened to Barenpark? Quite the pedigree with Phil Walker-Harding but I NEVER hear anyone talk about it anymore. Is it still hitting anyone's table? Thought it might be a good one to pick up at some point. Bärenpark | Board Game | BoardGameGeek share.google/TPW3qej3xI5M...

Got in a rare 2 player only boardgame night. Can't go wrong with Star Realms, Jaipur and Lost Cities.

Jumping in with my Top 20 boardgames by time and by plays since I've started tracking in late 2023. You can really tell that we often play with 6 players. Good to celebrate what ACTUALLY hits the table. My 6 Nimmt cards definitely show some good wear on them!

Used to run a boardgame event for my direct team. We played every other month & then it got sidelined due to a pressing project. That project is almost done but now our team has grown from 8 to 12 folks...much harder to find an engaging digital game to play. Suggestions? Managed to get them on BGA.

You know the trouble with tribbles... (Couldn't resist)

Welp. Turns out it's SUPER fiddly as designed with stacking the tiles on the board. Probably going to have to shift it to a roll and write. Unsure how I feel about that. 🎲✂️

Look a MVP boardgame prototype to test. Is it ugly and devoid of theme? Yup. Is it a playable game? IDK⁉️ Will it be fun? IDK⁉️ But it's something at least. 🎲✂️
