This ARCurrent article gets it right! D&D isn't just gamesβit's a "moral training ground" that builds math skills & perspective. With shows like Critical Role making tabletop mainstream, there's never been a better time to roll that d20!
What's your character? π²β¨

New games from gifts or old favorites played around the holiday table - your board game collection might be chaos right now! Time to get organized for 2025's gaming sessions. KALLAX shelves, mesh bags, even pan racks - so many creative solutions!

Merry Christmas to our wonderful board gaming community! Hope everyone's getting some great games to the table with family and friends today. Create those memories!

Poleana, a fascinating Mexican board game born in 1940s prisons! Players race pieces using dice combos while blocking opponents - it started as an escape from prison life but now it's bringing families together across Mexico City. Love these gaming origin stories!
#boardgames
Sole truly fantastic games on this list. Flip7 and Heat: Pedal to the Metal are two of my favorites. A bunch of these I'm looking forward to trying soon!
Great article about Italy's 'Zogo dell'Oca' where an entire town becomes a giant board game! Teams roll huge dice and compete in wild challenges like slingshot-launching wooden geese. Gaming culture meets festival spirit in the best way!

Wild - archaeologists reconstructed rules for a 4,000-year-old board game found in Iran! Similar to backgammon but with more strategy. Ancient gamers were clever!

Found Trailblazers at #PAXUnplugged! Build hiking, biking, and kayaking loops back to your campsite in this clever card drafting game. Love the push-your-luck element of expanding trails vs actually closing loops to score. Perfect outdoorsy theme!
#boardgames #tabletopgames
One of the best things about #PAXUnplugged is seeing it continue after closing. I'm seeing PAXers everywhere - playing games at restaurants, demoing new games at the airport, swapping discord info and talking about new games on flights home. Love this community!

For the love of #boardgames.

Can't wait to go back!
As the 20th year of PAX comes to a close, we love thinking about all of the gaming memories that have been created since 2004. PAX Unplugged might be the newest of them, but the passion for games that our Enforcers, exhibitors, and attendees bring every year is unmatched.

Tried PlayProp, a Dutch party game at #PAXUnplugged, and I was hilariously bad at it! Fun group game that had everyone laughing. 25% of profits go to building human connections worldwide! I definitely recommend checking it out.

Discovered Gnome Hollow at #PAXUnplugged! Create fairy rings of mushrooms in this gorgeous tile/worker placement game. Love the magnetic scoring boards and art style. Simple turns but lots of clever strategy in completing mushroom paths!

I was able to check out Flock Together at #PAXUnplugged! In this co-op game you're chickens with unique powers and punny names defending against predators that grow stronger each season. Love the art style and how each chicken's abilities create different strategies!

The @shutupshow.bsky.social panel was chaotically entertaining at #PAXUnplugged. I can't wait to see what they have in store for today!

Just discovered Flip 7 at #PAXUnplugged - brilliantly simple push-your-luck card game! Flip cards without hitting same numbers, but the catch is: there's only one 1, two 2s, three 3s... Plus special cards add spicy twists. Bank early or risk it all? Won myself a promo pack!

One of my favorite games of #PAXUnplugged so far is Forest Shuffle! Build your perfect forest ecosystem by matching trees with wildlife before winter comes. Beautiful design, eco-friendly production, and such satisfying gameplay!

Have you ever wanted to run a food truck? Now you can with Chicken Fried Dice! Played it at #PAXUnplugged and loved it. It's a chaotic game of dice placement that really makes you feel the rush of demanding customers. Feed them all, earn tips, and get reviews to accumulate points!

As we kickoff Day 2 of #PAXUnplugged, a quick look at Cabanga! -A clever card shedding game where playing cards with big number gaps is risky! Other players can shout Cabanga! and hit you with penalty cards that fit between your numbers. Fast, fun, and chaotic! Give it a try!

Unhappy with the election results? Get Buy the Vote! A frantic 15-minute blind bidding game where you're racing to win states' electoral votes. I love how the pressure ramps up each round and how swing states let you steal others' wins! Money management is key.
