Arrived in Australia Tuesday morning & the 1st game we introduced to my music-loving family was Hitster. They love it! We've played it a bunch now 😂 The app works smoothly & if you're big into music like us, it's a great party game. I'd like to get my hands on some expansions.

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? 💚 #モンスター画家 #ボードゲーム

Thanks 🌊 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!)

Tom's Cat Lily /トームくんのネコリリ is an adorable lil' game about Tom, a newly-turned zombie, trying to release his cat into the wild to save her. How insanely cute is the 100m card!? Play a card that doesn't match the Seeker's, get 160m away, & release Lily 🐈 MIXIMA

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! 🌾🐮🦫🐸 Keymaster Games Trey Chambers

Acornism/ドングリシュギ 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 🐿🍁 PhantomLab@9/29(日)ボドゲガレージ コトリ

We've finally delved into Unmatched! I'm a HUGE co-op game fan (I could play Eldritch Horror every day 🐙), 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 dungeon🧙🏻‍♂️💎 Cards are placed face up/down. Once a dungeon is full, cards are examined in 🔃 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 🌊 Cardboard East, via Caitlin Ernest.

Unmatched: Robin Hood vs. Big Foot is my 1st forray into 1v1 Unmatched🏹🦧 I enjoy chonky guys that smash opponents (like the green 🦏 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 🐨 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 👍🏻👱🏻‍♀️👍🏻🇦🇺 Phil Walker-Harding Postmark Games

Meadow: Downstream 🚣🏼‍♀️ 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.🐞🦋🦎🦉🐟 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 🎶 PLAYTE (5H410) ホヌゲームズ / 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! ホビージャパン・ゲームツィート CMONJAPAN公式 meeplebr
