Tips for good #PitchCar tracks:
1) Require players to use all these skills: Power, finesse, accuracy, setup shots
2) Have fast & slow sections of track
3) Be aware of bottlenecks (jumps, loop, larger slow sections). Increase difficulty as you approach it to spread out players b4 it.

Usually 1 or 2 boardgames look good to me that come out every year. This year I haven't really seen anything.
Moon Colony Bloodbath looks fun but I'm unsure if it'll have too much luck to have any staying power.

It's Friday night. Tell me about your boardgame gaps. As a board gamer, what games do you feel you should have played but haven't yet?

Well, well, well. If it isn't my old friend PitchCar. How I missed u on boardgame night. An extremely tough track. I underestimated the speed needed to get through the loop, resulting in everyone wildly going off the table. Also got to use my 3D-printed bump rails. Highly recommend!

Been beat down by life recently. So easy to stay in "survival mode". Didn't realize it until now that I've let it rob me of small joyful moments & turn them into chores. Reframing to embrace that spark of joy. Life is too short to dwell.
Anyways an easy start to joy w/ boardgame night tonight!

If you don't want to buy any more boardgames, just don't have a house! While in temp housing, the looming threat of having to move in the near future kills any and all consumerism and adds a nice tinge of loathing toward everything you do own.

Work is giving us $100 to spend on random customers to spread joy. So of course I think #boardgames for kids.
Anyone know some gems out there that are cheapish? Would have to scale well for player count.
Flip 7 and No Thanks would be obvious contenders. What else?

Just a quick appreciation post. I have some amazing friends that I boardgame with. 225 hours of fun over the last 2 years and the thing I look forward to every single week.
Surprised to see 6 Nimmt (Take 5) get overtaken by other games but Captain Flip and Star Realms are pretty legit!

Spooky boardgame plays for October. Finally got Scoville & Modern Art to the table for the first time. Loved them both.
Just happy to be safe & have such great friends. Despite a huge incident in which we now have to move out of the neighborhood for our safety, game night only missed 1 week.

🎲 Robinson Crusoe
🎲 In the Year of the Dragon
🎲 Antiquity
🎲 Age of Steam
🎲 Anything by Splotter

You think you're dialled in,
someone has to win
And you know what that means
It means someone's got to lose
It's probably you.

I have also been on a losing streak for boardgame night. Where can I find my salt form?

Little sadder for my boardgame spirit than having to take down my kallaxes. Hopefully we can find a new place to live soon.

So we did 2 tables of Star Realms for boardgame night last night. Went 4/5! But then I went on to lose 3 straight games of Captain Flip, so I guess it evens out. Ha.

My September boardgame plays! Went heavy on Cascadia this last month & ran 2 tables of it for a few weeks. What a great game. Also got to teach another member of my group Star Realms and they immediately bought it. Can't wait to play again.

Don't hate the player, hate the game...so maybe play a Euro boardgame with low player interaction or something.

I've always enjoyed the new Carcassonne box cover till I realized it's not a legal placement! Yes, the tile could be placed there but the road is already occupied by at least one other person, so the meeples can't be placed there...

Are you seeing Spots!? You should be. This fun dice rolling, push-your-luck boardgame is filled with charming (John Bond) art of spotted dogs. Dogs have spots, dice have spots. I never understood why this game didn't take off more. Seems perfect for the dept store game aisle.

Boardgame night again! Same 6 of us as last week. Dare we split and run 2 tables of Cascadia again? Otherwise I'm dying to play Cosmic Encounter out for another run.

Why in the world is the boardgame Lords of Vegas so expensive? $75 is ridiculous. I think Roll for the Galaxy is a comparable game but $60: lots of dice, cardboard tiles. RftG even has custom dice.
Is it the custom wooden car tokens? Cause I'd love a cheaper version with cardboard.
