It started as a world building thing and ended up complete enough to actually play. It’s a bit like chess but with tiles placed to make the field and a pog like betting system. Everyone I’ve shown it to tells me I need to publish it, but I have no idea how. Any one here have suggestions?
I just feel sad about it. I’ve been buying most of my games from the same shop for years, the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. A couple weeks ago they suddenly announced they’re closing.
I’m a regular at a local BG hub and until now people keep planning sessions via a whatsapp group. This creates a few problems, such as people asking for players for a game, and then random messages pushing their message out of screen, so people don’t notice. Basically there’s a lot of people who have games who want to play specific games and people who want to play those games, and I want to find a more efficient way to organize this.
This is a follow-up to my previous post. I finally finished printing and upgrading almost everything in Dune Imperium Bloodlines. I also managed to bring it on the board for two playthroughs and it really makes the game pop-out. Totally worth the hours I spent on this, especially since it’s likely my favorite game at this point :)
I always love adding further bling to my boardgames and since Dune: Imperium - Uprising is one of my absolute favorites, I jumped to make it further. First I printed a new first player token, which is a cool AF sandworm. Then I found a bunch of replacement tokens for the generic wooden token and printed those as well for the immersion. Currently I’m in the process of also printing out some fancy water “droplets” and then later on solari and spice ones.
I’d like to get a game mat made as a board for Pai Sho. Most of the places online i can find that make boards either don’t make them big enough, don’t make circles, or don’t make them with custom designs printed on them. A while back i found Overpowered Mats, which actually does do all three of those things, but they’re no longer in the game mats business.
I have been playing a fair amount of Jump Drive lately. Really enjoying it. I did notice though that it seems if you get Comet Zone out early in the first 2 or so turns really seems to predict the win.
So what's some easy game to play under influence of alcohol? Or other drugs if you are in to it. I am looking for just simple games we just had few rounds of BANG!.
New Dark Cities game on #Kickstarter from March 26@boardgames@sopuli.xyzDark Cities series being the Salem 1692/Tortuga 1667/Deadwood 1876/Bristol 1350/Hollywood 1497 #boardgames by Facade Games. I collected some images cuz I am quite hyped rn :BlahajSpin: The description mentions "betrayal" (the facedown tiles in the gameplay picture might be secret roles) and "finish[ing] as ruler of all of #Rome" (perhaps the player with the one huge token in front of them?). The no re-entry point on the board is consistent with the one person who's been eliminated from the game in the picture. "One takes Rome" really makes it sound like a single winner is declared, like in Deadwood 1876.
I'll start: the solo system in A Feast for Odin. You just have to control two hands/colors that block each other's worker placement. No automa, no special rules.
It cane with cassette tapes. I remember having this board game when I was 10, or 11 so around 90, 91. Just don't remember the name of it. I do remember it was a lot of fun. Anyone have clue what the name was?
Im familiar enough with board games to know that I’m asking a lot here. My goal is to have a game that I can carry around with me, walk up to people I meet in public, and ask them to play.
Some games are complicated - they have really complex rules. Examples of this are games where you have to track many different types of tokens, with different rules for each.
Panda has expanded its production operation outside of China for the first time by launching a joint venture in Brazil, as unpredictability over US tariffs continues to weigh on the tabletop industry.
I learned about postmark games a couple years ago, found the print and play format quite interesting and wanted to try something. But it looks like all their games are competitive, which I often don't enjoy.
For anyone interested in checking this game out, but daunted by the very large card pool, this article is pretty good. The goal is to give people suggestions without triggering FOMO over stuff that's out of print or way too expensive.
A buddy’s been hosting a board game birthday for ten years now and I wanted to bring some fun printed stuff. Have trophies for the most and second most wins, plus the green one for him as it’s his favorite color, and one for whomever plays the most games that day. Also printing out assorted little meeple with the ten/X on them.
Major points:
* Price increases are coming.
* They will pause producing most games except for cheap to manufacture, card-only games.
* For games with app adaptations, upcoming expansions will get a digital release before physical.
* They will design, develop, and prepare future games to hit the ground running when tariffs come down.
I played Undergrove for the first time today and it was really fun. It's developed by the same person who designed Wingspan. I really like the natural world themes she uses in the games.
