Assorted Meeples

It absolutely was. We got two very solid games in and got to show off most of the cool stuff you guys sent over. Thanks so much for letting us share the awesomeness with our community!

Also RIP Callahan. The first round of the first game might have been overkill :D

In 45 minutes, we'll be going live on Twitch and YouTube to open a mystery box sent to us by our friends at @doomlings.bsky.social - and then we'll get some games in too! See y'all soon!

What an amazing turnout for @doomlings.bsky.social tonight! We got 3 games of 5+ people running simultaneously, building their new species up as the end of the world marched ever closer!

Join us tomorrow on Twitch & YouTube as we unbox and play Doomlings live on stream!

#boardgamenight #cardgames

We've got a whole lotta @doomlings.bsky.social this week! We'll be demoing how to play this awesome game at 6:30 on Wednesday at First Turn Games, and then opening a mystery box on our Thursday stream at 7:00 PM Central from the legends themselves!

We had an amazing turnout for Blastbots last night at First Turn Games! 3 full pods battling to see whose crew of chaotic robots would lead their colony into the unexplored depths of space before meteors ultimately struck all 3 instances of Khaos-5.

Blastbots is an indie board game where 4 teams of robots do their best to help their faction escape a comet - at the expense of everyone else! Come join us at 6:30 at First Turn Games tonight to learn how to play, or check out the review article on our website!

Completely agree. A worthy expansion that feels like it completes the game.

Board game night is upon us at First Turn Games! Come join us as we demo King of Tokyo, as well as the Wickedness Expansion you'd find in the Dark edition of the game! See you at 6:30!

We appreciated everyone who has worked with and supported us so far, and are excited about what the new year has in store. As always, we also welcome feedback on the good and bad of what we do, so please feel free to reply here or reach out if you have something you'd like to share!

We tried a ton of new games as a group, have been privileged to work with multiple game companies, and have a ton of things we're looking forward to as the new year unfolds. I switched up our video game rotation a bit, and figured out more of what folks seem to like from us too.

As we start 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on 2025. I got to go to Origins for the first time, as well as Gen Con, meeting a ton of amazing artisans, content creators, and board game enthusiasts. We started demoing board games at our LGS, and work on a few projects continues.

December was a chaotic month. I (Braden) went in for a second cornea procedure right ahead of Christmas right after one in November, and while this one has been much more successful, it has come with the usual need for rest and recovery, so much less posting as a result.

We’ve got 72 hours to go and nearly 100 backers. Help us get across the line and hit our first stretch goal!

Sometimes, when you purchase a game, an accessory, or a component, your expectations, however lofty they might be, are exceeded.

BrownCastle Games, we will treasure this Crookinole board and the custom discs - it's truly a work of art.
