Feudum Unboxing

Feudum's enormous box, and its weight on Board Game Geek can be a little intimidating. It is one of the biggest boxes on my shelf, and it is filled with so many gorgeous components and intriguing artwork. The copy we are looking at today is a Kickstarter copy, but it is not too different from the … Continue reading Feudum Unboxing →

The Godfather: Corleone’s Empire Unboxing

The Godfather: Corleone's Empire is a great mix of area control and worker placement which takes place in New York, with players shaking down businesses to pay tribute to The Don. Unlike many other CMON (Cool Mini Or Not) + Eric Lang games, the game was surprisingly not on Kickstarter, which makes it more readily available … Continue reading The Godfather: Corleone’s Empire Unboxing →

Chinatown! A fun game of wheeling, dealing, and negotiating! I'm not the greatest at wheeling and dealing.... and now we'll never know because of American money being all the same color! Why! I confused the 200k stack for the 50k stack for most of the game 😪 #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #Chinatown
Grimm Masquerade! This is such an interesting take on social/deduction. I really enjoyed the mechanisms that allow you to slowly reveal information about each player and the fact you are rewarded for guessing roles correctly! Looking forward to a play with the additional rules! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #grimmmasquerade
Azul: Summer Pavilion! Played another round of this and got a respectable score! Seems like I'm slowly figuring this is out. I'm liking it a lot! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #azulsummerpavilion #azul
Age of Steam! Played a 5 player for my second game. Again tricky beginnings, and I ended up middle of the pack. Anyone got any tips for the early game? #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #ageofsteam
Wingspan! Check out my menagerie! This was a fun three player game. I feel like I'm getting the hang of Birbgine building! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #wingspan
Age of Steam! Played our first game yesterday! After a bit of a rocky start with some close calls we all got into a comfortable area profit wise and started building some serious train networks! It was a very close game, I ended up missing the win by 1 point. Very keen for the next game! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #ageofsteam
Between Two Cities! This game resulted in a bizarre 3 way tie of cities owned by two players! Never seen this before but luckily there was some tie breakers in the rule book. #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #betweentwocities
Letter Jam! Cranked it up to 6 (letters) and managed to get a respectable score of 3 strawberries! It's a bit harder with more letters, but not really too much harder. If you haven't read my review yet, check it out! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #letterjam
Now Boarding! Played this with 4 players and it was SUPER HARD! We failed during the middle of the day each game and then gave up... But it was still pretty fun. I don't remember it being so hard, but if only played with 3 players before. #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #nowboarding @tim.fowers
The Estates! Knocking up shonky apartments fast is the aim of the game and making sure your street is done at the end is critical to success! I was on track for a positive score but was forced to make a hard decision - lose a lot of points but at the same time, make other players lose points. Of course... I did that! It was disastrous for me though 🤣 #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #theestates
Azul: Summer Pavilion! I quite enjoyed this one. I was surprised that it was so hard to lose points, but it wasn't easy to get them either! I was 80 points behind the winner.... First impressions, this is a great variation on the original and very interesting to play. #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #azul #azulsummerpavilion
Azul: Summer Pavilion! Found @next_move_games newest Azul edition at my local game shop today! Beautiful looking tiles and production, can't wait to give it a spin! @planb_games @PlanBGames_ #boardgames #tabletop #bgg #azul #azulsummerpavilion
