You can waste years looking for a board game that everyone in your group lovesβ¦and still never find it.
But eventually, with a little luck, youβll find what you didnβt know youβd really been looking for all this time: the one game that nobody in your group hates.

I really appreciate when publishers mark excess punchboard with some type of icon to clearly delineate between components and waste pieces. ποΈ
This is a great example from the game Sky Team by @scorpionmasque.bsky.social and @hachettebgusa.bsky.social
Well done! βοΈ

Josh started winter break fulfilling investments, shipping precious metals, and helping build Boomtown with his wife and 11-yo son. A unique game with many ways to score points! π€π©Άπ
We recently had a very fun play of Age of Steam from @eaglegryphon.bsky.social using the Hungary map.
This title is one of only a handful of games that our entire group agrees is a "10."
What's your favorite map?

Taught my boys and a couple neighbor kids how to play Risk Legacy, and then they were clamoring for another "battling" game so I showed them Rumble Nation!
Welcome, @enzyshade.bsky.social

Happy Thanksgiving from Playing for Second! π¦
Josh is spending some time this morning playing a family game of Summer Camp. Such a fun, family weight deck builder with an adorable theme. βΊ
It's been a hot minute since our last post (blame Josh's new jobπ).
We've been playing some great games lately, such as this play of Inis Legendary Edition with the Nemed expansion.
It was a loooong play, but lots of fun.
