Hey hey! Today is Wednesday which means it's time for #howwerollwednesday started by the super lovely @buryboardgames 👏🎲 This is where we feature a cool aspect of dice 🎲 and for this week the uber awesome Lizzie @boardgamingwithmyfamily has chosen games with illustrations of dice! 👏🎲 ❤️🎲🕍THE RED CATHEDRAL by @devirgames @kosmosgamesuk is a brilliant rondel, resource management, area control, dice rolling, action selection game where your rondel activated workshops are identified on your player boards using illustrations of specific colour DICE! And the CONTRACTORS EXPANSION packs even more awesomeness into an already bulging box with more guilds, goodies, and decision dilemmas! It's a compact big box game that is one of our go-tos when we want a full bodied feeling that plays in under an hour. If you would like to join in #howwerollwednesday take a photo of some cool dice and use the hashtag! Next week the theme is D4 (the pyramid dice) chosen by @justthreemeeple Happy #howwerollwednesday everyone! #bgg #boardgame #boardgames #boardgamer #boardgameaddict #boardgamelife #boardgamegeek #geek #boardgamesofinstagram #brettspiel #boardgamecouple #BoardgamesUK #boardgamebox #tabletopgames #tabletopgamer #gamenight #brettspiele #spiel #playmoregames #boardgamenight #boardgamenight #favouritefoe #dicegoblin #diceaddict

Hey hey! It's #firstimpressionsfriday🎲 started by the lovely @kay_plays_games and this week we have been playing EARTH by @insideupgames on the actual table for the first time! 🌲🍄⚡1-5 players 🌲🍄⚡45-90 mins 🌲🍄⚡Age 13+ 🎲Overview: In EARTH we are cranking our environmental engines and creating our own synergistic ecosystems full of gorgeous flora and fauna! 🎲Gameplay: Turns consist of the first player taking 1 of 4 actions: Plant: spend soil to add cards to your tableau and draw cards (which will be up to 4x4) Water: gain sprouts (which can be used as currency or VPs), Compost: gain soil and discard cards from your hand or the deck for end game VPs, or Grow (add flora sections and draw cards. Then every other player gets to do a lesser version of the same action. Finally, everybody can trigger the same action type present in their tableaus or on the shared board. With personal objectives, shared goals, and VPs for almost everything you have in or on your tableau, the winner is the player with the most point prolific ecosystem! 🌲🍄⚡ 🎲First impressions: My first play of EARTH was on BGA with the epically patient and lovely @boardgamehappy and @boardsenseless and I got absolutely overwhelmed by the system. I couldn't see the whole game space and couldn't work out how everything was interlinking. Having now played IRL I still don't know how best to organise my engine to perform at its peak but I don't care because I 💚 EARTH 😍 It's a sort of race but the journey is so much better than the destination which chills the pace out! I 💛 the strong active/weak passive player action system as it is generous and means zero downtime because each turn we are doing so much with our own tableaus that it almost doesn't matter whose turn it is! Working out how to optimise choices to trigger goals and combo chains that flood down our tableaus is epically satisfying 💚💛 And whilst we love intense, synapse sizzling tense 2P games, the gorgeous nature theme chills us out and its a glorious multi-player solitaire style experience where we can appreciate each other's abilities to synergise! I can't wait to solo!💚💛 #boardgamesofinstagram #earth #favouritefoe

##COMMUNITY HASHTAG TIME ## Hey hey! It's ⚙️#mechanismsmonday ⚙️ Using BGG as my alphabetical reference for all things mechanisms related, week #8 is 👏 AUTOMATIC RESOURCE GROWTH 👏 🦇 ATIWA from @lookout_games is the latest in Uwe Rosenberg's feeding and breeding series! 😂 This time though we are batty about bats! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇 🦇 And during the game (at the breeding and income phases), you get extra resources based on what you have in your settlement already! 🦇 The puzzly, spatial nature of ATIWA has been a big success with us and it has gone straight to the top of our Uwe Euros (sorry Nusfjord!). And now, having highlighted it today, I really want to play it again tonight! #atiwawesome Are there any AUTOMATIC RESCOURCE GROWTH games in your collection? What mechanism will you be highlighting today? Pop a picture on here and share them using the hashtag #mechanismsmonday ! #mechanismsmonday #bgg #boardgamecommunity #boardgamefriends #boardgamers #boardgames #weloveboardgames #iloveboardgames #boardgameaddict #boardgamer #tabletopgame #analogaming #boardgamefamily #boardgamer #boardgamer

Hey hey! It's #thematicthursday started by @boardgameoverlord and this week @boardgameoverlord has chosen "eggs" 👏 We have a lot of bird themed games (as I love nature 💚🦆) and these four suggestions feature eggies in super fun ways! DODO by @kosmosgamesuk has the silliest dodo bird with the wibbliest, wobbliest egg in the world! Work together and race to build bridges to stop that egg falling off the mountain and cracking as it wibbles and wobbles its way down!!! ✅ EGGS WINGSPAN by @stonemaiergames @jameystegmaier has been our chill out go-to game for years and it is full of gorgeous wee eggies that not only look and feel lovely but are currency in the game and worth points at the end! ✅ EGGS PIEPMATZ by @lookout_games is a very clever, set collection card game where we are enticing birds to perches. Working out which birds I will receive based on which birds I send to a perch, and which eggies I collect as a result, blows my mind, but I love it and have even found a fan based solo which is EGG-cellent! ✅ EGGS HENS by @littlerocketgames is a lovely tableau building game where we are trying to fill our 4 x 3 grid full of high egg yield hens - the hens we can lay can only be valued +/- 1 than the cards adjacent to it. There are also rooster bonus points for the biggest group and 2nd largest group (if you can predict accurately half way through!). This is another one where I love to solo too! ✅ EGGS What EGGS inspired game plans do you have for #thematicthursday ? Next week is EGGS chosen by the awesome @boardgameoverlord himself! #bgg #boardgame #boardgames #boardgamer #boardgameaddict #boardgamelife #boardgamegeek #geek #boardgamesofinstagram #brettspiel #boardgamecouple #BoardgamesUK #boardgamebox #tabletopgames #tabletopgamer #gamenight #brettspiele #spiel #playmoregames #boardgamenight #boardgamenight #favouritefoe

Hey hey! It's #mysterymonday🎲 started by the super @justthreemeeple This week the theme is MAPS chosen by the super @diaries_of_a_geek 👏 I have no sense of direction at all so maps are useful and useless in equal measure - if I start wrong, I just get more lost! 😂 I'm pretty sure I don't ever want to find myself in Booger Hole though! haha Question is; where is this plan of crazy places sitting in our board game collection? Tune in next week for the answer! Last week's answer was WHY YOU LYING? 🎉 And if you fancy joining in with the #mysterymonday🎲 fun, pop a picture of the theme related component and see who can figure out its cardboard home in your own #mysterymonday🎲 Happy #mysterymonday everyone! 🎉 #games #boardgames #gamestable #gamesroom #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgameaddict #playmoregames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #boardgamegeek #shortstuffboardgames #boardgamenerd #boardgamer #boardgamers #boardgamesarefun #game #creativephotography #boardgamephotography

Hey hey! It's #sundaymorningsolo and #2024solochallenge game time and I am continuing my micro card gaming fun by playing AGROPOLIS by @buttonshy with the SEASONS expansion added in for spice! 🐷🐓🐮 🐷🐓🐮 AGROPOLIS is probably my favourite of the 18 card patching, placement optimisation SPRAWLOPOLIS series, and I only play it solo as I am a #greedygamer haha 😂 Basic solo gameplay uses the same smooth system but Seasons adds 4 more cards which provide an extra scoring objective and restrict where cards can be placed. I randomly pick a Seasons card objective then shuffle the other three Seasons cards into the deck. The scoring objectives added together gives the target total score to "beat" the game. Each turn, I place 1 card horizontally over or adjacent to an existing card and draw a replacement off the deck into my hand of 3. When a Seasons card is drawn, it must be placed and then future cards can only be placed according to the restriction on the Seasons objective - which will be a direction (here it was North i.e. future cards could only go above the Northern most placed Season card). The game ends when the cards have all been laid. Then it's time to score against the goals for the game plus points for each of your largest territories (groups of matching coloured blocks) minus 1 points for each road ( continuous sections of connected road) 🐷🐓🐮 🐷🐓🐮 I love how synapse sizzling this game is - I know it is meant to be over in 10 mins but I can happily AP over each card stretching it to at least twice that! I also prefer the theme to city building in SPRAWLOPOLIS and the objectives seem harder to achieve. I can also up the difficulty by adding Feed Points to increase the target to beat 🐷🐓🐮 What are you playing solo today? @mostly.solo @play_it_solo @soloaza @swordandboardgames @kay_plays_games @thatsolomeeple @zlaiannah.gameroom @danicha.plays trybsolo @yellowmeeple_steph @ginaspel @sirthecos @mindfulmeeple @board_game_goode @dana.hayward @family.boardgaming @thesolitairegambit @mo.solo.bg @boardsenseless Happy Sunday gaming everyone!! #2024solochallenge

Hey hey! It's #saturdaymorningsolo and #2024solochallenge of 2024 where @kay_plays_games and I try to play all the solo games in our own collections! This week has felt a bit like a mountain to climb, so I thought I would bring out some @buttonshy games that I haven't played in a while starting with the solo only 18 card micro game UNSURMOUNTABLE designed by @scottalmes I always think it is going to be easy....then I look at my base camp cards and I am like ohhhhhhhh.......doh! 😂🗻🗻🗻 The goal is simple - make an unbroken path for my hiker from the base camp to the peak. But I can only add the first card in my base camp to the mountain. The others can only be discarded to trigger their card manipulation abilities! As such, it quickly becomes a balancing exercise between going power crazy and having enough cards left to actually finish the mountain with a trail in tact! 🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻 Super fast, I have two mini expansions I can add in - Dual Peaks and Big Climb - which each add cards and up the challenge even more than the built-in difficulty scale of the original game! But as I thought I hadn't played it in a while I had better go back to basics first! Scraped a victory with a useful last combination but I am not always that lucky! And although the rescue helicopter card is there to use to get me out of one sticky drafting pick, I feel like I am cheating if I have to use it so the chopper was grounded today! haha 😂 🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻 What are you playing solo today @mostly.solo @play_it_solo @soloaza @swordandboardgames @kay_plays_games @thatsolomeeple @zlaiannah.gameroom @danicha.plays trybsolo @yellowmeeple_steph @ginaspel @sirthecos @mindfulmeeple @board_game_goode @dana.hayward @family.boardgaming @thesolitairegambit @mo.solo.bg @boardsenseless Happy Saturday gaming everyone! #2024solochallenge

Hey hey! It's #firstimpressionsfriday🎲 started by the lovely @kay_plays_games and this week we have been playing ECOSYSTEM SAVANNAH by @gotgeniusgames 🦒1-6 players 🦒15-20 mins 🦒Age 8+ 🎲Overview: SAVANNAH is a card drafting, pattern matching, placement optimisation, tableau building card game set in the wilds of the Savannah! 🦒🦒 🎲Gameplay: I have been loving the solo mode in SAVANNAH which is suuper simple to learn and play. Whether playing MP or solo, you are drafting cards into your hand and laying cards to complete your 4 x 5 Savannah tableau with the best combination of animal and feature cards. Each animal/feature scores differently and nearly all of them score based on what is adjacent or in the same row/column as them! In MP mode it is play and pass close drafting. In solo mode, I must play a card and then give a card to my AI opponent (which gets played into a set pattern - left to right, top to bottom) and I only beat them if the difference between our scores is >55!🦒 🎲First Impressions: As a huge fan of ECOSYSTEM CORAL REEF, I already knew I loved the fast playing, placement optimising puzzly play of the game but was interest to compare the artwork and the different scoring conditions in this version. And I was not disappointed - the way each animal/feature scores made for interesting decisions each time. And although I thought I was doing well by hoarding grasslands, lions, and giraffes, I lost to the AI by 1 point!! Which sounds bad but is brilliant as I couldn't wait to play again and try to beat it! Although some animals/features feel like they could dominate, and the mechanic of the play is the same each game, the randomness of the draw each game means the combination of cards to play with will be different each time. There's a big deck and only a small section of cards is cycled through per game though so make sure someone shuffles well! I love a game where all I have to do is shuffle the deck and play so I predict this will easily become another one of my go to solo games! 🦒 Huge thanks to @gotgeniusgames who kindly sent us a copy of SAVANNAH to play. We are not paid for our thoughts and all opinions are our own 👍

Hey hey! It's #thematicthursday started by @boardgameoverlord and this week @kandbplaygames has chosen "game night" 👏 When my husband and I get to indulge in an entire night dedicated to games, we have a few special favourites that we love to bring to the table followed by a fun, quick filler tat always ends game night in giggles! THE WHITE CASTLE by @devirgames @kosmosgamesuk is a brilliantly tense, tight game where we have just 9 turns to maximise and leverage every possible resource we have! It's always on the top of our list when it comes to game night! ✅ GAME NIGHT WINGSPAN by @stonemaiergames @jameystegmaier has been our chill out go-to game for years and we love the time and space to be able to indulge in the base and expansions ✅ GAME NIGHT THE FUZZIES by @cmykgames is a really fun, fuzzy take on dexterity - if you like Jenga but hate the noise when the tower falls (I do!) and wish you had to play with your arms twisted and one eye closed then THE FUZZIES will end your game night in as many giggles as it does ours! ✅ GAME NIGHT What GAME NIGHT inspired game plans do you have for #thematicthursday ? Next week is EGGS chosen by the awesome @boardgameoverlord himself! #bgg #boardgame #boardgames #boardgamer #boardgameaddict #boardgamelife #boardgamegeek #geek #boardgamesofinstagram #brettspiel #boardgamecouple #BoardgamesUK #boardgamebox #tabletopgames #tabletopgamer #gamenight #brettspiele #spiel #playmoregames #boardgamenight #boardgamenight #favouritefoe
