Fun hanging out with @cardboardeast.bsky.social while he was in town! Showed us a couple of fun import games from his collection.

ICYMI: He was also on our podcast last year talking about the games scene in Asia: www.goinganalogshow.com/article/299/...

What were my favorite games from last year? HAH YOU DON’T KNOW ME!

But you can if you listen. (And yayyyy @candidrum.bsky.social joined us!)

Ooooh, congrats to Ilya!!! ♥️

We're back with part 2 of our 2-player special, with guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social! Now you have too many 2P recommendations from all of us. You're welcome. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/314/...

We’ll likely be up a couple weeks after that 😢 But we miss you and talcon!

We (w/ @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social) have been talking about having a weekly game night committed to something we almost never get to do: completing a campaign.

The game we all wanted to see through: Tidal Blades 2. Now let’s see if our schedules and real life will allow us to finish.

Episode 85: Going Analog- Goals not resolutions for 2026, aesthetically pleasing Euro games, and buttering up the host. | The BoardGameGeek Podcast

Start the new year off with some NOT UGLY Euro games — thanks to @panda8ngel.bsky.social for having us on The BoardGameGeek Podcast!

Sooo good!!! 🌭

We decided it was the year of the 2-player game! So many great ones came out that we couldn't cover them in one episode (and not without the help of special guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social).

Watch 👀/listen 👂 to part 1: www.goinganalogshow.com/article/313/... #boardgames

A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

Come watch @chrispyha.bsky.social and @danshoehsu.bsky.social later this afternoon! We'll be playing games to help the BGG Annual Support Drive.

BGG.CON: What we played, what we liked, and why we liked them.

Plus: What's next for The Board Game Quiz Show!

Wordsy is still my go-to quick word game, Letter Jam is classic and so good, First Class Letters is a nice little new one!

Luggage code suddenly doesn’t work, so now we get to play a less fun version of the card game Beasts

Game designer John D Clair and AEG big boss John Zinser stopped by to talk Mystic Lands/Vale, card crafting, and how autobattling has hit tabletop...and evolved. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/307/... #boardgames

Been enjoying a lot of push-your-luck dice games lately with our friends -- @chrispyha.bsky.social and I chat about them while eating moon cakes:

Mid-Autumn Festival with Moon Bunny by @hotbananagame.bsky.social and homemade mooncakes by @chrispyha.bsky.social! Fun game (that we’ll talk more about in this week’s Going Analog Podcast). Yummy treats that Christina made too many of but oh well guess we gotta keep eating them

The golden rule: do unto others as you’d have them do unto you, but if the rule on a card conflicts with this rule, follow the rules on the card

Snuggle up under a blankie with your favorite fuzzy loved one -- it's time to talk cozy board games. 🥰And...outside of great gameplay, what makes for a good *product*?

We discuss with designer/developer Alex Cutler! www.goinganalogshow.com/article/304/... #boardgames
