EPISODE RELEASE - Ep 069 | The Swirling Mists of SEASON 4 - #Mistborn: The Deck Building Game - Sonora (Gateway Game of the Week) - CanCon 2025 Recap Welcome to the new season of the Board Game Gateway Podcast. New Games, same fun times! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X0_... #boardgames #podcast #bgg

CanCon Game #4 - City of Pig Shoulders Take an 18xx game, remove the choo choo’s and add a worker placement phase that requires you to pay the other companys to use their actions!! I’ve heard mixed things. I LOVED IT. Great cap to day #1 #boardgames #bgg #cancon

Big month of local meet ups and CanCon. A lot of great games, new games and fun hours. City of Big Shoulders was a stand out as well as Mistborn. I am a sucker for heavy economic games!! #bgstats #boardgames #bgg

CanCon Game #3 -Stationfall We played this with was too many people, but i can’t deny that there was something here. Wasn’t a great first experience but i want to go again. I love SS13 so the stories are just as good. #cancon #boardgames #bgg

CanCon Game #2 Hansa Teutonica 4p An absolute classic and was a tight contest. Less than 90 mins, small action space but decision space is so wide!!! No wonder it’s been in my top 10 for years. So good. #cancon #boardgames #bgg

CanCon 2025 - Game #1 incoming! #Mistborn the deckbuilding game. The thematic tie ins are fantastic. Easy to pick up, plays in under an hour and i want to play again. A great start to the weekend #cancon #boardgames #bgg

Attended Sydneys No-Ship Auction tonight. Another chaotic, awesome and amazing community event! A great way to cycle games you don’t play for games you want to!!! #boardgames

@twentysidedtavern.bsky.social is such a fun a creative DnD show. Having an absolute blast. Shouting “Reroll” and getting the audience to use the one and only reroll on a failed bard seduction check…. PRICELESS!!!

2 games of Tigris & Euphrates played last night. Games always come down to the wire. First game was 90 minutes (after new player teach) but the second one was down in 45 minutes. An absolute classic!!! #boardgames #bgg #knitzia

Played 4 new games at our Local Board Game Meet up this evening. Big Shot, World Wonders, Whirling Witchcraft and Triangulate. Auction, Engine Building, Polyomino Drafting and Abstract Strategy. Such a diverse range of games. What a hobby. #boardgames #bgg #tabletop

Wow, safe to say that our Top 5 Family Board Games episode has been a hit compared to our others. Next episode up is our top 10 games for 2024. Keen to release that one! #boardgames #bgg #podcast

We started our channel in May of 2022. We had no idea of what we wanted from it other than an outlet to talk games and maybe get some free games to help bolster our collections. Given how niche Board Game content is 250 subscribers seemed so far away. 3 days ago we passed that milestone.

Honestly it has been a slow month for games. But instead of a lot of little games I got to play some bigger games. Excited for the holidays and some time to play more. #boardgames #bgstats #bgg

How it started vs moments before it all came tumbling down. #boardgames #nekojima #lpgaus #bgg

Christmas event for our local board game group; Macarthur Board Games. We are also admins for this group and we love bringing the joy of this hobby to people in our community. More games to be today. #boardgames #flgg #gameday

Ever seen 3d Flamme Rouge? At our last game day, patron Peter brought his copy for a great 8 player experience. You wouldn’t think so, but it brought an extra level to the game. AMAZING!! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop

Ep 065 | Top 5 Family Games What are the BEST FAMILIES BOARD GAMES you can play with your family over the upcoming holiday period? That is what our hosts will help you answer in this week's episode of the Board Game Gateway Podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzLY... #boardgames #podcast #tabletop

Steams Autumn Sale is now live and there are a plethora of Board Games awaiting your digital wallet. BRB going to pick up Dune Imperium. See you on Arrakis. #boardgames #dune #digitalbg

Thanks to Black Friday Sales we've made the first upgrade to help increase the quality of the video side of the #podcast. Lighting is one of the most noticed things (especially when not done) and this is going to help massively. A huge double record last night, excited to show you all! #boardgames

3 of our hosts got together to try out Leviathan Wilds. It's such a simple co-op system about collecting gems from a giant corrupted monster and getting off it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Play it with your kids and watch the combos rain! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35... #boardgames #bgg #tabletop

How it started vs. how it’s going!! #eclipse2e #boardgames #bgg #tabletop

Are board games losing their creative edge or falling into the trap of "Sequel-itis"? That is the topic of discussion in Ep. 64 of the Board Game Gateway Podcast. Featured Games: King of Tokyo, Cthulhu: Death May Die, Spectral and Nekojima #bggateway #boardgames #bgg #tabletop youtu.be/tek-xx0Cj4s

Did you miss out on Episode 62? We want to officially welcome Joel as an Official Host of the Board Game Gateway Podcast. We are super excited to have him bring you content, helping us make Sydney's Family Game Day the best Game Day possible and increase local community reach. #bggateway #podcast

A kleptomaniac 10 year old, pyromaniac nazi, catatonic nun and psychotic Rasputin banded together to thwart evil this evening in Cthulhu: Death May Die. Damien had been dying to she is this one, the nun got drunk and slap the tentacles…twice. This is all real! Haha #boardgames #bgg #lovecraft

Got a chance to teach my ex-military father Undaunted: Normandy. Considering it was his first Deck Builder he handled it very well. He enjoyed surprising the hell out of my units with his machine gunners!! #boardgames #tabletop #bgg

John Company 2e is such a weird and wonderful in-depth look at the running of the East India Trading Company. It gives you a look into the "get yours, at any cost" mindset as you are getting points for retiring whilst making money at the cost of others. #boardgames #tabletop #bgg #johncompany2e

Today, I am incredibly excited to announce The Isle of Cats Duel, a standalone game designed specifically for two players, set in the beloved world of The Isle of Cats! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/43...

@neeber.bsky.social is looking to bring back some game play videos so he’s dusting off his old OBS set up. We are also looking to do more online recording so the hosts can bring you more content, more often. What an exciting end to the year! #podcast #boardgames #bgg

Watching my son and daughter play Nekojima with their Uncle was my weekend highlight! What a fun, light-hearted "Jenga Style" dexterity game that caused so much laughter and smiles. David Carmona & Karen Nguyen with Unfriendly Games have certainly got a winner! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop

What a game Arcs by @leder.games is. First time with the Lore and Leader Expansion. Just missed out on the come back win, played as the overseer taxing EVERYONE. So thematic and evocative. More please!!! #boardgames #bgg #tabletop

Removed Tokaido Duo from the shelf of shame. Another "Game turned 2 player only" game. Another "Oh man this is better than the original". It's a game my wife can't wait to play again and with the wife's seal of approval, this one will be in the collection for a while. #boardgames #tabletop #bgg
