Designer Boardgame nut since 2008, loving all things cardboard (and maybe some upgrades...and some 3D printed inserts...and gaming theme music...and...) 😁 I live and love to share boardgames!

For those familiar with designer Chvátil, we spied a rare meta game of Bunny Bunny Moose Moose during a play of Galactic Cruise the other night 🤣 #boardgames @cgegames.bsky.social

the 'most' unlike his others. Have fun!

Been itching for this one since Essen... Galileo Galilei is a great little action selection, efficiency, offer, upgrade, ladder thing. Great as a medium game day mish mash euro. Fun theme integration. #boardgames Good production from @capstone-games.com Do I dare say it's out of this world? 😁

Shackleton Base rocks! *Or should I say moonrocks? :) sorry. Thanks @pandasaurusgames.com for investing in Fabio for this one. Incredible replay value with using the variable 3 of 7 add-on corporations each game. I can't wait to try all of them. This is a great heavy Euro!

SaltFjord!!! What a great medium weight dice selection dice placement game. The artwork is beautiful. @artapia did a great job with this 'reprint' Wonderful rehash of Santa Maria with a 30% tweak. I can't wait til this gets wider distribution in N. America. It deserves to be loved by many gamers.

I can see why everyone was all giddy over Shackleton Base. This has a fun mix of mechanisms, with the worker placements integrating moon area tactics/plans. Great replay value with using 3 of 7 modules. Worth giving this one a go if you have room for a heavier one. Go Fabio Lopiano! #boardgames

I understand now... Gems are octagons or collect all the pretty feathers! 🤣 Joking aside, Cuzco is a tight awesome Feld! Oh no, now I have to pimp out Nassau with upgraded gems!

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Apr 1

Oh, definitely a 3p wheelhouse

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Apr 1

The flop is there all game. It's part of the plan and insight to set up a strategy based on the distribution! Give Nassau some more love! 😁

Go play with the windmills if you get a chance!!! Fun choices with Windmill Valley. Upgradable double rondels cogs! OMG! #boardanddice #boardgames

Finally got to play this one. I can see what all the hubbub was about. It has a different feel than many other card games. A nice build up and rip em down, and mitigate the destruction with a fun theme. Thanks #RioGrandeGames for bringing a new #vaccarino to the market #boardgames

Thanks Granite Games Summit #G2S2025 for an awesome weekend, as usual. Got to see to some great friends and play some sweeeet games. I may have played the rehash of the Feld classic Bora Bora a few times, as @queengamesus.bsky.social new Cuzco. Worth checking out. All the right tweaks for a reprint.

Headed to Granite Games Summit in NH this weekend for some great boardgaming. If you're in New England and have not heard of it, put in on your radar. So happy to see this event grow. So excited. Looking forward to playing #Cuzco, #GalacticCruise, and some other juicy stuff. #boardgames

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Mar 2

I finally got Merchants of the Dark Road to the table a few times this week. If you like rondels, play it. It definitely has some interesting choices for a 'pick up and deliver' ish type. I hope Elf Creek Games still come through for us on the slow KS delivery. Fingers crossed #boardgames

Are you doing GenCon this coming year? I'd so, let's meet up and eat bacon together at one of the food trucks! 😁

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 23

Cool. Thanks for dropping the source. That troupe is great! @shutupshow.bsky.social

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 23

It sure is. I can see why it was on so many best of 2024 lists.

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 23

Well, that was a 75m punch and froth and sort for Galactic Cruise. Great production quality. Can't wait to get this to the table soon! Top of the queue. Thanks @kinsonkeygames.bsky.social for getting this to the market! This should be a hit for 2025.

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 23

These (set of 3) are such great little solitaire games!

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 22

Yes, we also just buy some great different bacons of the world and fry them up (British /Irish rashers, some local smokehouses, etc).also, a great excuse that make bacon stews/soups. I discovered feijoada this way. We have that every year.

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 22

The only requirement is that all attendees bring a homemade dish to pass that contains bacon, as an ingredient. We've even had some bacon desserts show up. Yeah, food is isolated in the buffet style kitchen with wetnaps... lots of wetnaps 😁

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 22

@baconcenturion.bsky.social I've been hosting an almost annual boardgame and bacon party every year for about 15 yrs now in New England. I think you get a VIP ticket next event, after noticing your account for the first time. Bacon! #boardgames #bacon

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 22

Anyone know who I should credit here, if they've seen it around?

MrCardboard @mrcardboard.bsky.social · Feb 22

Check out this Hilarious Uwe Flowsenchart! It's worth a gander for a few chuckles, for anyone who has played a few of his games, or knows of them. Not sure of the source, but whoever made this, my top hat is off to you. The lead into Bohnanza is a hoot. #boardgames #rosenberg
