A photo of A train game with a colorful design and full of hex goodness.
Playing some Railway Boom tonight! Finally getting to play it since getting it in Essen. Very interesting auctions and @ianotoole.bsky.social crushed the Design. It is perfectly intuitive.
My favorite Cover of 25. Hands down.

Roku has enjoyed playing his first heavy strategy board game of the year, it’s Carnegie from @pegasusspiele.bsky.social, the cover art by @ianotoole.bsky.social is so cool.

Railway Boom Review - Choo choose a great new game
Railway Boom's hook, its something special, its little bit of ooh-la-la, is the bidding mechanism that underpins nearly everything that happens.
I was lucky enough to get a copy of Railway Boom for me from Essen. I love it, and introduce it to anyone and everyone I can. I wrote a few words about what makes it so special for me, which you can read here - punchboard.co.uk/railway-boom... @okazubrand.bsky.social @ianotoole.bsky.social

We enjoy Rococo every time we play it, never disappoints. it’s elegant, clever, and so visually beautiful. Behind all the lace and silk, though, is a sharp strategy game. It’s competitive, but in this classy, subtle way. 👗🎩

the box for Ayar
the player board with a multitude of components on it
the male and female Ayar tokens fit together perfectly
Ayar by @flopiano.bsky.social and @mandelafg.bsky.social from @ospreygames.bsky.social with art by @ianotoole.bsky.social is a real point salad. You can’t do everything and need to keep two score tracks in balance all at the same time. I’m quite enjoying it. 🙂👍 #boardgames

Facebook is showing me images from 6 years ago when I was messing 🎲✂️ around with this design.
Exciting to see it come to wide release very soon and with, I have to concede, improved art & graphic design thanks to @ianotoole.bsky.social, and much better gameplay thanks to @flopiano.bsky.social.

The on mars box on the table in front of the sun.
The prettiest board in boardgaming
The whole game fills up my kitchen table. It's pretty big.
Big solo game challenge. Recently got On Mars and tried it out. What a brain melter. Love a lot about this one. The ai put up a fight. What a beautiful game too! @ianotoole.bsky.social knocked it out of the park on this one. (He always does) Fun challenge. K gotta recover now.
