    @iain@ohai.social I reckon I can shift one of them. Gonna try on Bookface now I have some packaging boxes. However, I’m reluctant to bin SpielWorxx titles. So might just resign myself to collecting three of them (and maybe just maybe the occasional play)

    Looking forward to this (after watching some of the Gaming Rules! video play through) at the weekend. Assuming the migraine that’s been bothering me subsides enough for some world domination. #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s

    RE: https://brettspiel.space/@lordsplodge/117031740045179809 On Bluesky someone suggested parts for prototyping. Now I don’t design games. But spare parts? That might work. #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s

    What do y’all do with board games you can’t seem to sell? I’ve got a handful I want to shift but they’re not popular or desirable (probably weren’t when ‘new’) I could shift them at an absolute bargain basement price. But that would probably cost me money (as in time, and packing resources) and also I can’t be bothered with that for no gain… #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s

    RE: https://brettspiel.space/@lordsplodge/116970745454827916 Introduced our young grandson to Innovation yesterday. Wee fella got so close to winning (four out of the five achievements, and me and nana had 0/1) only to find that Innovation is a mean and unforgiving game. I won on an Era 11 card because I nuked the era 5,6, &amp; 7 achievements 😅. I also stole my wife’s score cards and a lot of his… he enjoyed it though. Stating it was ‘quite mean’ 😬😂 #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s

    I love Innovation. It’s totally not a game for folks who don’t like being really mean*, or who like to plan more than one card draw ahead. But it’s delicious and turns on a dime. I was one round away from winning via achievements and she slaps this bad boy. Of course I draw and reveal a red card. The rest is history and a loss for me… #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s * Especially two player. It can be brutally punishing.

    In a very hot #Wales but still the board games get played. Mostly at various pub stops on hot and slow hikes… #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s

    Here’s my current Top Ten board games. 1. Fields of Arle (#IfYouAintFarmingYouAintGaming) 2. A Feast for Odin 3. Concordia* 4. Innovation 5. Lords of Waterdeep 6. Anno 1800 7. Memoir ‘44 8. Furnace 9. Arkwright* 10. Lost Ruins of Arnak Anything above 5th is fluid (* Arkwright was number two but dropped because it no longer gets played) and amusingly aside from FoA, Concordia and AFFO my top played games is very different. #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s /cc @jefklak@dosgame.club

    RE: https://brettspiel.space/@lordsplodge/116874305340563752 What’s the opposite of Analysis Paralysis? Last night during this play of Anno 1800 my wife commented “We need to not rush. We’re tripping up over our own actions” and yes you can play board games too fast… 😅 #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s

    Combination of work, heatwave incoming and the fact I’m on countdown to holiday mode means I am in even more of a CBA mood this Monday morning.

    It was inevitable something would drag me back into backing a crowdfunded game. It was never going to be any Awakened Realms slop. But this? A sequel to A Feast for Odin? Yes. This will be what does it… #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s
