Well this is the time of the year. Our tradition has been to play the Polar Express boardgame.Yes it is like Candyland with a little more strategy and take that. Yes the quality is awful. But tradition is tradition and we still laugh as we kingmake and threaten other players 😁

Sister of the year award for sure! Very cool!

Unrelated to #boardgames, this year's ornament represent the 3 kittens we adopted from the shelter at the start of the year. They are not blood related but are called the 3 sisters. Or the 3 Terrors which is quite fitting 🤣

This is our memory tree. One ornament had to represent Everdell Farshore of course and the beautiful art by @logicfairy.bsky.social with Captain Bonny. That year we actually added a second ornament because we love the Lighthouse Keeper too much. We call him Frank 🤣

Illusion is competitive. Players try to guess the proportions of colors but it is not as easy as it sounds.
@gameswithwine.bsky.social has used this for team building purposes as well and people enjoyed it greatly.
End.

Pizza Party is sold as a game for 2 but if you have more sets or can make up for the dice, you are all set. Even non gamers have had fun.

Zeus on the Loose is a great game.
Our copy is a little trashed because we played it to death at home and at school with Kindergartners and up. Great to practice numbers and great artwork. Plays fast and adults who play along can have fun as well.

Similo is a fun co-op game. Help your team find the right card. We own the board games version but they have many different themes to choose from.
"Play as long as you can the game" is another co-op game
Schotten Totten is a two player game.

Here are a few suggestions for small games that are under $20.If you don't buy from a company, you may find them on second hand market for cheaper. These games even fit in most holiday stockings.
Starting With Flip 7 @airbudscholar.bsky.social The OpGames. A fun push your luck game with strategy.

Push your luck card game. You score the value but special modifier cards will affect the scoring.

New York Zoo is a fun tiling #boardgame that plays fast even at higher count and cute animals. Hard to stay focused with such cute opponents ♥️. Daughter and I shared a victory (though the game has official tiebreakers)

Owlbear is fascinated by the animals on the tiles.

It was a cute adaptation. And considering this is the version we have played over the years, I am pleasantly surprised to see how well it help up!
( Clarification : the original game IS very well done and great quality. We prefer this one for sentimental reasons)

Family #boardgame is a homemade Karuba that Daughter made for us. She liked that theme better and features artwork she made for donation bins for the pet shelter.
Plays very quickly even at 4 players and is quite fun.

#boardgame time!
First #Everdell Duo game in a while. This is a very strong substitute for the original one as it combines placement/ tableau,very tight, also played as cooperative,solo and campaign. Why is he always moving the darn marker when I need it to stay put? 😆
#jds #j2s #brettspiele

Man about to play Everdell Duo. There is a main board in the middle. There are cards and meeples. There are resources and tiles.

I chose to play with the black skunks because I prefer this color. The actual player markers are tortoise and hare as seen on the right.

ALT: cruel person who played with my usual player's color. Took me 2 whole turns of planning and scheming to realize that I was NOT playing black 🤣
Yes the result showed

We played Solenia today. Normally we just two player but my son joined us, adding variety to what was happening. The movement of the ship and progression of the day/night board keeps it fresh. If you get a chance to play it, I do recommend it. #boardgames #tablettopgames

Chrissy Peske @chrissypeske.bsky.social · Nov 8

Played a #boardgame of #Solenia. Gain resources and deliver good as the Ship advances on that modular board game and allows you to go from night tiles to day tiles.
And a very efficient cardboard insert.

Player board with resources and main board with ship

The Ship advance and the board straps slide to the other hand. Players use cards on that board to gain resources, VPs, adjacent the Ship and win tiles.
