Nerds of the West

I want to play a game of EDH with people who have their favourite Commander tattooed on their body to figure out which three of us made the worst life decision

Most People Learn About History. These Board Games Make You Live It. It’s not exactly fun to revisit the colonialism, homophobia, and warfare of our past. But then again, “fun” was never really the point.

Great article on Cole Wehrle and how board games can be more interesting and thoughtful

YouTube video by Nerds of the West Ranking Every Game We Played This Year - The NOTW Board Game Ranking List for 2024

Wrapping up our year and looking back at all the games we played with only one criterion - What Would You Prefer To Play?

This is the longest edited video we've ever made so apologies in advance

The hardest part of editing a whole group video is being the arbiter of everyone else's opinions.

I'd love to let the whole world see 4 hours of 8 different opinions on 52 boardgames but it's just not feasible and it's definitely not cohesive.

Pic related, Rhys shares his opinions 26th his eyes

Does anyone else feel the need follow up an action packed day full of boardgames and friends with organising your next APDFOBAF ASAP?

Heck yeah!

Cheers, got a bit worried things where broken, glad to see it all come back up shiny 😂

Post Stream Pool Party to celebrate the year

Setting up for our first boardgame livestream in a long time, feels good to be back

Should be higher

Oh heck yeah! Will have to watch this one later

Sneaky preview of our End of Year Board Ranking Video

Got it back under 90 minutes, still need to add music and B-Roll

Watching Mahomes turn it on just for the one down they need to win is so wonderful to see as a fan but after watching the doink go in I understand why everyone hates them.

I'm just hoping the inevitable superbowl win isn't against the lions

Turns out taking a good photo is hard when part of the tattoo wrap around the leg

Phantom Ink for sure!

TJ with All The Baubles on his face!

Yall are sleeping on this game, definitely check it out if you need a tight, strategic 2 player experience!

The current timeline for our end of year ranking video is 1 hour 24 minutes and 32 seconds. That's without B-Roll and cutaways

Pray for me

Great idea!

D4 for shelf choice, d6 for game choice, hope for the best or at least realise as the dice is rolling which number you want it to land on

In a little less than an hour, let's play some fun games together with You! in the chat, @biggirlgames.bsky.social, & Duchess1105! We will start out with Flip 7 and Blank Slate Challenge from The Op then move on to games of your choice!

⏰ 3 PM PST / 6 PM EST

Heck yeah, great list

I was impressed that they gave us a bag

This is peak Australian Culture

The min-max nightmare?

The Baldurs Gate 3 soundtrack has been my go to for a few months

Honestly yeah, at least you'll get an idea of which number you want it to land

Because I focused on streaming content for so long I forgot how rewarding longer edited videos are.

End of year wrap up is at the halfway mark and just over 35 minutes

My brain says Concordia but my heart says Battlestar Galactica

Gutted we cant join in, will be watching as much as we can!
