This week we taught my family Telestrations and it was a HUGE success. What an insanely fun family/party game! If you've never played it before, I suggest watching the Watch It Played playthrough video for a good laugh.
On our flight home today we played two games from our Tote Mike bag. 1st: Shota taught me the trick-taking game German Whist. How fun! Definitely one I'll be replaying. 2nd: We replayed Reiner Knizia's Katzenjammer Blues. An enjoyable lil' game from the Doctor. New Games Order
Before returning to Japan, we introduced one last game to my family: Split Personality (Friedemann Friese, Andrea Meyer, Marcel-A. Casasola Merkle [email protected], New Games Order). It was a big hit & got A LOT of laughs! It'll definitely get replayed. Can you guess who we drew? ๐ #ใขใณในใฟใผ็ปๅฎถ #ใใผใใฒใผใ
Thanks ๐ Cardboard East for taking my silly little Tote Mike idea and loving it as much as I do. (If anyone has a photo of Tote Mike 2.0, I'd love to see it!)
I can't express how much I enjoyed Harvest! It feels like it could move into my top 10 after only one play. It has so many board gaming elements I enjoy & visually it's INCREDIBLE. Hurry on over to Furroughfield & start tending your crops! ๐พ๐ฎ๐ฆซ๐ธ Keymaster Games Trey Chambers
Acornism/ใใณใฐใชใทใฅใฎ is deceptively challenging! It's light in rules (basically: Never surround an animal with more acorns than the # on its tile & don't place tiles bigger than 8x8), but oh boy does it work your brain. A really fun, thinky game ๐ฟ๐ PhantomLab@9/29(ๆฅ)ใใใฒใฌใฌใผใธ ใณใใช
We've finally delved into Unmatched! I'm a HUGE co-op game fan (I could play Eldritch Horror every day ๐), so Unmatched Adventures: Tales to Amaze is right up my alley. It's fantastic! Every element is so good + the minis!? Incredible. Durdle Games Restoration Games IELLO
Wizards & Co. has you fighting other wizards (using monsters you control) to try to loot a dungeon๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ Cards are placed face up/down. Once a dungeon is full, cards are examined in ๐ order to determine which monsters survive + who wins loot in that dungeon. Fun! Sinister Fish Games
Various pictures from the Dice Tower Retreat. 3 games of Broom Service so far, and plenty of other great gems, some more and some lesser known. Also been complimented a lot for the amazing shirt from ๐ Cardboard East, via Caitlin Ernest.
Unmatched: Robin Hood vs. Big Foot is my 1st forray into 1v1 Unmatched๐น๐ฆง I enjoy chonky guys that smash opponents (like the green ๐ฆ in MTG), so I loved Big Foot! The decks feel balanced, movement is interesting & the sidekicks are fun! Rob Daviau Restoration Games IELLO
As an Australian, I LOVE Koala Rescue Club's theme + aesthetic ๐จ The roll & write/polyomino mix is cool: you're at the mercy of both dice AND your own planning. Boy, did that make things challenging, yet fun! A big Aussie thumbs up from me ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ป๐ฆ๐บ Phil Walker-Harding Postmark Games
Meadow: Downstream ๐ฃ๐ผโโ๏ธ is a great expansion & gosh it looks beautiful on the table. The new cards are lovely & the additional river path to paddle down for bonuses + end-game scoring adds some interesting choices for your turn.๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ Rebel.pl Karolina Kijak #KlemensKalicki
7 Wonders Duel was one of the first games we ever added to our collection. It's such a fantastic 2p game! Having the various ways you can win adds so much excitement, especially when each player chooses a different route to try for. Antoine Bauza bruno des montagnes Repos Production
Having played the classical version, I was SUPER excited to get the original Stereo Mind. I love it! Hearing people's reasons for why they chose an answer is so interesting, especially when they ended up at the same answer as you. A light, fun game ๐ถ PLAYTE (5H410) ใใใฒใผใ ใบ / Honu Games
Finally got a chance to play the Mundo Wonders Pack expansion for World Wonders. So fun! I love that you can change the new wonders to either score regularly or have a more difficult yet more rewarding scoring system. Gosh, I love this game! ใใใผใธใฃใใณใปใฒใผใ ใใฃใผใ CMONJAPANๅ ฌๅผ meeplebr
We had a cheeky game of Haggis before work today and I got absolutely DEMOLISHED by Shota ๐ I had a lot of fun, though! I still can't get over how lovely Sai's artwork is ๐ Portland Game Collective Sean Ross ๅฅๅบใใ ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐ข #ใใผใใฒใผใ

I've been an English teacher in ๐ฏ๐ต for ~8yrs & often use board games in my classes. At my school's annual seminar on Monday I gave a presentation on warm up activities.
