I have been enjoying Folklore the Affliction #BoardGame. Greenbrier Games went out of business due to a Kickstarter screwup, which is a shame because they were a local game producer. But it is fun and tells a good story. I wish I could get the Dark Tales expansion. I got the base game and Fall of the Spire expansion very cheaply. I don’t need another expansion, but there you go. At least I got the updated anniversary edition. #BoardGames.

Had a fun run of the #ArkhamHorror #boardgame yesterday. We lost but were OK with it. The narrative went a bit like this: While trying to save the city (and actually doing rather well) our party got stabbed, mugged, arrested, shoved into portals by supposed allies with no way back, poisoned by pollution and trolled by local supernatural beings. So when Shudde M‘ell, due to 5 monster floods in a row, finally turned the city into a giant sinkhole by stirring beneath, we moved over to Dunwich, chilled with the local monster and watched the wretched city sink into the ground only 1 elder sign short of victory. But it kinda deserved it.

#AeonsEnd is a surprisingly decent #boardgame (and #videogame , by extent).

I did knew that turn based games CAN be dramatic and thrilling - but this one puts DRAMA as its game design cornerstone.

An option to disable the main source of drama - turn randomization - is a nice thing to have.
Less savvy players won't likely appreciate 4 Nemesis turns in a row...

And, despite difficulty being at around #sentinelsofearthprime , it feels more... fair...

Одна из самых тухлых настолок, в которую мне довелось поиграть, - "Убить Доктора Счастливчика".
По ощущениям как если бы в "Манчкине" все подряд могли кидать +5 по разу каждый бой.
Каждый ход весь стол кооперируется против одного игрока - и победит он или нет на этом ходу, решает чистая шара.
И половине стола ВСЕГДА невыгодно что-то делать, отчего начинается агрессивная дипломатия :(

Würfelheld: Brettspielumbau für Blinde #1: Mondrian Blocks

Willkommen zu meiner neuen Reihe „Brettspielumbau für Blinde“. In dieser möchte ich euch zeigen, wie ich mir als gesetzlich Blinder, Brettspiele zugänglicher gestalte bzw. umbaue.

🇬🇧: Lata

Lata is a 2023 travel-friendly #boardgame by Pythagoras Games (5 Quinas Collection), where 1–4 players run canning companies in ‘900 Portugal. Using action point auctions, they buy fish, optimize factory production, and fulfill contracts. Compact yet deep, it's language-independent and ideal for introducing players to strategic board games. Definitely promoted!

3/3

I have long enjoyed talking with #boardgame publishers & designers about the development & production process, and the decisions therein. I love #boardgames. It’s a subject I enjoy knowing about.

Reading all the posts about the costs & complexities of game production in a time of massive tariffs have been extra revealing.

I still think the negative aspects far outweigh any supposed long term benefits.
So, get off your arse. Complain to your representatives. Make your voice heard. March!

I feel that any company running a #TTRPG or #BoardGame crowdfunding campaign this year is really asking a lot from their fans and customers. There are a few I would easily support any other year, but the lack of economic stability and the threat of insane tariffs is really make me pause. ☹️

Looks like Greater Than Games—publisher of the board games Spirit Island, Sentinels of the Multiverse, and Compile—has been shuttered due to the tariff situation. While I've not played Compile, Spirit Island and Sentinels are the two games I play the most, so knowing that no further expansions will happen sucks.
