Plenty of power cuts today, so what better way to start the day than being cosy in bed with a latte, and a round of Voyages β›΅

We love these single-sheet print and play games, makes it super easy to play in different settings!

( Not our best scores, but we had fun 😊 )

#BoardGames
Two completed games of the print and play board game Voyages, which has been laminated and played using a clipboard. The game sheets show the map on which we play, and the path that each respective player decided to take. As it's the end of the game, we see Christian scored 70, and Joana 59.

Just wrapped up our first game of Evergreen!

It's from the same designer as Photosynthesis, and features a familiar sun position/tree scoring system, but this time on our own boards, and with a card drafting step included 😊

We liked it a lot!

A great board game to take to the beach!

We have the Mini version. This one plays well even if it's windy, thanks to the design of the player boards ☺️

#boardgames #azul
A very cute bumblebee picnic mat with two Azul Mini player boards, the shared draw pile for the tiles, and a fabric bag. It's a picture of a few turns in the game, so both player boards already have some tiles on.

Second Chance! πŸ€” You just need a pencil or pens (we use colour ones) and you draw from one deck for the first shape, then after that first draw, you draw from a second deck.

We're finally going to have a game night!! Woohooooo!!! πŸ₯³

Just the two of us, but we are going to bring to the table 1 hour and a half of games each.

I already know the ones I'm bringing, and Christian is going to decide later.

Anyone else got board game plans this evening? ☺️

In case the other response didn't show - the game is Ironwood 😊 One side (Ironclad) has these chunky metal tokens, and the other (Woodwalker) have nice wooden components.

#BoardGames
5 metal tokens from a board game, 1 of them if flipped to depict a factory about to be built, the others all depict the same factory in its completed state, with a number one underneath and a sword/hammer cross.

We were so happy to go and pick this up from the post office today!
Also, This game has some HEFT, We did not expect that when picking it up πŸ˜…

Not sure when we will be able to table it, but hoping soon 🀞

The box for A Wayfarer's Tale board game, inside a cardboard shipping box with white packing peanuts to protect it. The box features a nice illustration of a person walking in the sand towards a city/castle built up on a hillside. There is a cute lizard on a rock in the foreground.

We tried the new roll and write game, Isla 🏝️🎲
It's got a cool dice exhaustion mechanic, which makes traversing around the island and trying to get research conducted a bit tricky, but fun.

Our official response:
Last night, the organizers of the trans boycott of CGE read with delight CGE’s third public announcement related to the publishing of content that actively harms trans rights globally. Their long awaited apology is very welcome, as is their alignment with trans rights as human rights. In this moment where our legal rights are under attack more than ever, such a statement is fundamental. We also recognise and appreciate their commitment to donate 100% of the profits of this game and look forward to working with them to help repair the relationship with their trans fans and to build new relationships with the trans movement in Czechia. We completely understand that many trans people are still hurt and don’t yet feel safe in this environment. The way that CGE initially responded to the problem, blocking hundreds of trans people, created an enormous amount of pain and mistrust. It will take time to build those relationships back again. We do not see this as a perfect situation. We would have hoped that by now, all of our favourite publishers would have known not to publish something that puts money in the pockets of someone who is trying to destroy our right to a peaceful and equal existence. But now that we are in this situation, and now that CGE is listening, let us turn to the job of making our own magical world: a board game hobby space that cherishes and protects all of the people in it, including the trans ones.
