A Tale of Two Meeples

How do we feel about story driven games? #boardgames

First play of Glen More. Sort of like Patchwork meets Cacao with more crunch. Interesting! #boardgames

Only took us a year and a bit between buying the Extra Salt expansion and actually playing it. Not too bad right? 😂

Absolutely! We love a good bargain, especially one that has been well cared for!

Yay! What great finds! 😊

Used Games - Heck yes or no way? That's the topic we're tackling in today's post ➡️

It reminded me a lot of Rum & Pirates and La Isla in places. I liked it, keen to get our own copy as this belonged to a friend

What did you play this month?

This is what hit our table. #boardgames

Our only problem was the fan kept blowing them off the table 😂

Sheep & Thief! Our friend @boardgamesanctuary taught us this cute little game from Japan today. Love that they use fluffy pom-poms as sheep 🐑 #boardgames

First (and second) play of Druids of Edora. I somehow managed a win both times 😂 #Boardgames

Today's first impression is a classic euro that we got to try at CanCon back in January #boardgames

We recently got to try Rokoko. Was it great or was it just sew-sew? 😂

How do you respond to "Oh you play boardgames? Like Monopoly?" #boardgames

Second game of Obsession for the weekend. Second loss to Steph. Given I've played like 5x as many games of it as her that's a worry! 😂 #Boardgames

I've played Medici but only at 2, which wasn't great. Have yet to try the others!

I'd say it is! I prefer that in co-op to not being able to talk or help, much more fun

Have you tried Modern Art? It's both auction and bidding and it's our go-to convention game with friends, lots of fun

I like it in some games, like Apiary and Clans of Caledonia, but only when they seem balanced.

Creature Comforts Game Board

Is there a mechanism you just love? For me it's the combination of worker placement and gambling in Creature Comforts. It just scratches my brain the right way! #boardgames

Fishing isn't my thing...unless it's on the tabletop! We had fun exploring Lure from @allplay.bsky.social at a game day last weekend

Steph's been at it again, wiping the floor with me in Delta Rummy. I'm still going to play though and I know I'll get that win eventually! We shared our thoughts about this great new card game over on Insta today if you'd like to know more #boardgames

Is there a game you love to hate? There certainly is for us! #boardgames

Agricola is very good, if a little mean. My favourite Uwe for sure. We recently got to try A Feast of Odin though so it may lose that top spot in time!
