Imagine All The Meeple

Cat meeple driving over wood bits forming a little roadway over light

Drove my dad back to the airport in the middle of the night. Always sad times 🥲. The 3:30 am drive gave me throwback Tokyo Highway photo vibes though, so that’s cool 🛣️

Then don't make the game. It's a simple as that.

If a game needs to use a plagiarism machine to exist, it doesn't need to exist.

Cards and board featuring cartoon virus and organ art

Last game of the holiday vaca!

We love Viral from @arcanewonders.bsky.social. It’s easy to learn, has an awesome theme, and is an overall solid game to play with the kids.

Now back to my normal, non-board game playing life 🥲🥲🥲

She has mastered the craft!

😂

Metal car!

And then… I waited too long to get it back to the table and completely forgot how to play. Back to square one with a shrinking anemia brain and an amazing game left to collect dust on the shelf…

So anyways, here’s Wonderwall 💁‍♂️
3/3

Supervisor meeple

A few years back I took it upon myself to learn Kanban EV for a game day at work. It took me #days to learn… Lacerda is a master game builder and knows how to make a beast! I was so proud of myself when we finally played and it went without a hitch. Fantastic game too, super satisfying.
2/3

Board and tokens with car factory type bits

I struggle to learn new games on my own and because of this, I truly dislike teaching games. The last thing I want is to teach a game incorrectly and ruin the experience for everyone. It keeps me awake at night 😅.
1/3

So many eggs on the board

(In case anyone cares, we played Wingspan AGAIN tonight and I finally won. It’s like Spider-Man always says, “Everybody gets one” 😅)

That timing tho

Emily painting an ornament with wingspan strewn everywhere

My wife @emilydabbles.bsky.social painting an ornament at the board game table as I tally up her winning Wingspan score of 107 and second guess my decision to start tracking our plays using the BG Stats app 🙃 🫠

Pawns walking across a the wreckage of Pandemic game cards and pieces…

Still digging through the wreckage…

Sure is

Seriously though, thanks for making such a solid gaming experience, @elizhargrave.bsky.social 😊

Bird card art with eggs and tokens

The Eurasian Nutcracker

Last night’s vaca board game was the incredible Wingspan!

(Side note, this dude looked like such a cranky old man and after listening to his “Wingsong” I can pretty much confirm it 😅. Given the name, I’m gonna assume that they just slam stuff around and scream all day long 🤣.)

These kidz 😅

Tree standees illustrated with a little squirrel poking its head out

It’s these little artistic details that make me love board games 😊

Well thanks 🙂

They’re super slick!

Demogorgan mini

11 mini

One of them dawg things mini

So I’m currently obsessing over #strangerthings because of all the cool fan art floating around. I totally forgot that Cmon made a Stranger Things: Upside Down game despite snapping these pics of the minis on display at SDCC a few years ago.

Thoughts on the game? Can anyone recommend? Plz tell 💁‍♂️

It’s actually really straight forward! Throw on some @watchitplayed.tv and led Rodney take care of the rest 🙂

Colorful Lego jungle pieces built up tall

Post apocalyptic cards and neoprene mats

Here are two more board games played over this years holiday vaca! Both always an excellent time 👍

Great!

Nice! Didn’t realize it could be that quick.

Ah so cool!!

Thanks! They can handle take that as long as they’re having fun. Didn’t know it was on bga either. (Love the shot 😊)

Oath cards and board art with nature and townsfolk

Been craving some @leder.games lately but haven’t had the right crowd for Oath, Root, Vast, or Arcs. Just a bit too heavy for my family scene… quite sad 🥲.

What are everyone’s thoughts on Ahoy? I wonder if that one may hit the sweet spot 🤔🏴‍☠️
