It was a hit! We used Tables to play two 4-player games of Azul (Lisbon/Porto) and Lucky Numbers Dublin/Cork) before switching back to 8p Incan Gold. Then down to 7p we played 7 Wonders and Welcome To. Finally a 4p best-of-two Can’t Stop tournament using the Forced Movement variant. #boardgames

Best Valentine’s Day present EVER from Board Game Arena! #boardgames 💕

I tried two-player Ekko out on Board Game Arena because it plays fast for up to eight. It looks to be a good filler for my weekly online gaming group who also enjoys Mojo, 6 Nimmt, and Papayoo. #boardgames

As we close out 2024, we also close out the fifth annual @spielmas.bsky.social festival. Tonight we celebrated with some friends and played a few games, ate some delicious food, and indulged in a few cocktails. Thanks to @haoleboygames.bsky.social for the festival! Happy New Year! #boardgames

Day 6 of the #SpielMas ⛄️ festival found my wife and I outside, eating street tacos at a brewery. We played 2p best-of-three games of Palace but with the River & Stone variant using @bethsobel.bsky.social cards. Can’t wait for next year! #boardgames

Today is the last day of the fifth-annual #SpielMas ⛄️ holiday festival. You’ve spent the year playing #boardgames with friends and family, in homes and planes, on vacation and in pubs. It’s an amazing privilege and worthy of celebration. Let’s do it again next year!

Day 5 of #SpielMas is Quacks of Quedlinburg from @cmyk.games 🍄🫧 We bought this one over Thanksgiving and have been playing it at least once per week since. The bag building push your luck combo leaves us wanting to try a new strategy for the next game—and the quick playtime makes it easy to fit in

We had another great @spielmas.bsky.social night at home with Apropos of Movies, Go Nuts for Donuts, and another game of Monkey Palace, this time with all 4 of us. Only one more night of #spielmas remains, and with some friends coming over for New Year’s Eve festivities, it should be a good time.

Day 5 of the fifth-annual #Spielmas ⛄️ holiday festival found us back in Middle Earth. We’ve been playing the SHIRE out of our new copy of Lord of the Rings Duel since trying it out at The Game Parlour #boardgames cafe on Day 3.

Day 4 of @spielmas.bsky.social is upon us and I had a chance to sit down and learn Monkey Palace, a game that utilizes Lego for components. The rulebook was a little difficult for us to parse, but the @watchitplayed.tv video on YouTube is excellent and answered all our questions.

On Day 4 of #SpielMas ⛄️, we played Kelp at Dogpatch Games in San Francisco. A lot of learning but a fun swim in the deep end of #boardgames. 🦈🐙

Day 4 of #SpielMas is Parks from @keymastergames.bsky.social 🏕️🦬 First time playing with the Wildlife and Nightfall expansions at the same time. They work great together and all the expansion parts even fit in the main box! (with the lid raised a tad) We loved the new year cards in Nightfall.

#spielmas day 4: Discord Activities and Canvas Encore. Had to pivot when an online gathering fell through, but canvas was so popular, it was requested again and the wife and I managed to find some games through Discord to play 😊

Loving this celebration. 👏 Any bigger, and you’d have to serve cheese and pâté with it!

For Day 3 of #SpielMas ⛄️ we found ourselves at The Game Parlour #boardgames cafe in San Francisco. We played Lord of the Rings Duel. Twice. It’s that good!

Today's #spielmas was a two-fer of a recent new-to-me game, Orleans, and one of my favorite worker placement games, Architects of the West Kingdom!

Day 3 of #spielmas had my mother in law showing us a new game - magnet chess! You have to place strong magnets in recesses of a big sponge, and whomever can leave all their magnets in the board wins. It took forever to get a winner with all the magnet pulling but really fun! #dadgamer #boardgames

Day 3 of #SpielMas is Feud: The Seer’s Prophecy from Mindgate Studios ⚔️🛡️ Another Protospiel Tested game! 2 player card battle. Cards placed as units on beautifully illustrated player mats, with actions based on zone placement & card abilities. Many different card types offer lots to explore 🤓

Day 3 of @spielmas.bsky.social was a busy day for us, but I found time to sit down with my daughters after dinner for a light game of That’s Not a Hat, a game I received in this year’s @boardgamegeek.com Secret Santa exchange. We played a total of 4 rounds and loved it! #spielmas #boardgames

Tonight's game for #Spielmas is based on one of my favorite indie video games, Wilmot's Warehouse! 📦

Day 2 of #SpielMas is Isle of Skye from Mayfair Games & Lookout Games 🐑🌊 Tile placement, players set tile prices, new scoring goal combo each round. A bit like Carcassonne but building your own map & buying each tile. One of the first hobby games added to our collection. Still fun 10+ years later!

Kicked off Day 1 of #spielmas with some of our favorite filler/party games, such as Cover Your Assets at the brewery with PIX and Fuji Flush at home. Can you guess what this is meant to represent? 🫣 #boardgames

Day 1 of #SpielMas - Distilled from Paverson Games 🥃 Fun facts: Distilled is Protospiel Tested and in Heather & Will’s 7x7 Challenge for 2025. (That’s a half-sized #10x10challenge) Distilled’s release on #BoardGameArena should make those 7 plays easier to get in next year!

Day 2 of @spielmas.bsky.social was celebrated with Nusfjord and Nova Luna, two of my favorite Uwe Rosenberg games. I first learned about SpielMas while attending a virtual Nova Luna game with @haoleboygames.bsky.social back in 2020, so this felt like a nice return to the festival’s roots for me. ⛄️

On the second day of #SpielMas ⛄️ my true love gave to me… two six-sided dice. And a game with our friends or family! #boardgames

Day 1 of the #SpielMas ⛄️ festival found myself playtesting #Soccer54 in a pub for the 3rd time. I got great feedback, saw good tactical decisions, as well as great goals and saves. This time, I had them play just the PK Shootout to warm up, so they could remember the basic game mechanism. 🎲✂️
