PAXAus Indie Boardgame Round-up

Last weekend I spent three days at PAX Australia in Melbourne! It was a fantastic time, and I spent a chunk of my time there checking out new and upcoming games in the tabletop exhibition area (newly released/close to production games), as well as in the PAX Collaboratory (under development games looking for play testers … Continue reading PAXAus Indie Boardgame Round-up →

Fireball Island! Got a chance to play @restorationgames latest release! It was certainly very cool. I was pretty keen to play and it was very nostalgic (despite never having played the original, though I had Forbidden Bridge as a kid). #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #fireballisland
Keyforge! This is a hard game to take pictures of gameplay! Played a round today, and ended up with a pretty decisive win with a deck I've previously only lost with. It's interesting how much the opposing deck determines how your deck will fare. #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #Keyforge
Brass: Birmingham! Played a 4 player game today. Interesting how different the game felt than with 3. I managed a pretty close victory! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #brassbirmingham
Wingspan! Finally played the birb game. Played with the full 5 players and it was a lot of waiting for stuff to happen so you could do your thing. Normally I don't mind that but there was pretty much 0 reason to pay attention to other player's turns. It was an ok game. I'm really drawn by the theme but it's not really my game otherwise. #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #wingspan
Leaving Earth! Played an amazing game with the Stations expansion. It certainly improves an already great experience. I set up a moon base, while other players performed amazing missions that split in two! We also collaborated on a joint agency project to return life from Venus! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #leavingearth
Cryptid! Great 5 player game, took us a while to find the monster but we got it in the end! I'm really liking this game. #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #cryptid
Dinosaur Island! Played an epic 5p long game.... which I won! We used the executives this game which added in a lot of interesting mechanics! I really liked the casino, and the hotel was very cool as well. #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #dinosaurisland
Civilisation: A New Dawn! Great game of Civilisation. It was fairly peaceful until I started attacking everyone... We were all edging in on victory when suddenly Orange (Aztecs) won by finishing their 5th mature city! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #civilizationanewdawn
City of Gears! Was fairly interested to play this but unfortunately it was probably one of the most mediocre games I have played in a while. Just felt very clunky for what was supposed to be a quick and fun game. Also, it's got plastic gears but they don't spin.... #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #cityofgears
Tokyo Metro! A lot of fun with a 3 player game of this. We ran out of time and called it a few rounds early, but the scores were still pretty impressive! Also, we had all the trains running! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #tokyometro
Tokyo Highway! What do you think? Is this leaning pillar legal? We reckon it makes the game more ridiculous, which is good right? #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #tokyohighway
Feudum! Played a fantastic @feudumgame today! It was an epic 5 player experience with much thematic joking! I was quite behind for most of the game, managed to catch up a bit at the end with some new Feudums but ultimately wasn't in contest for victory. It was still extremely fun though! I'm excited for the new Kickstarter coming soon! Looks like it will have some beautiful premium components in it 😊 #boardgames #bgg #tabletop #feudum
