New comic! Every year, we tell ourselves we're going to SPIEL just to “see friends.” Every year, our suitcase says otherwise. 😅

What board games are you most excited to check out at #SPIEL this year? 🎲

You can read this week's blog post at semicoop.com/comic/be-honest/ #boardgames

Comic based on the “Be honest / Thank you” David Beckham meme.

Panel 1: Rachel: “I’m not *that* excited about getting more games at Spiel.” Heinze peeks in from behind a wall and says, “Be honest.”

Panel 2: Rachel looks defensive and says: “No really, I just want to see friends and hear how they’re doing!” Heinze, still peeking, repeats: “Be honest.”

Panel 3: Rachel looks flustered and blurts out a long list of board games: “I just want: We’re Sinking, Bohemians, Tag Team, Pinched, 3 Witches, Tea Witches, Leaders, and… Dino Dynasty, Deckers, Luthier, Timber Town, SETI Space Agencies, Wolf Street, Severton, L’Oaf, Line of Fire: Burnt Moon, and…” Heinze, now satisfied, says, “Thank you.”

We can hope! Weren't there some rumours floating around about at least a remaster?

I am happy…the kind where words truly won’t be able to express the feeling.

The studio is built!

Our first attempt to build this studio was in 2021 and then I was scammed by the carpenter

I was at a friend yesterday who is starting a Beastman army and he had two boxes for his basic units which already consisted of 122 units...

I noped out so hard when he tried to get me excited for it. 🤣

We hope they'll offer you something good!

We got a lot better dates when we called than try to use the GGD website (at a post that wouldn't be open on that date according to the website), so that might help you get an earlier date?

Race for the Galaxy is fun (depending on if the experience level of the other players)

We have encountered no cats this week! 😭

(We have loads of dog owning friends and not enough cat owning friends!)

Playte has that High Society edition with the same art as the Osprey edition, so we can hope 🤞

Semi Co-op @semicoop.bsky.social · 7d

Ooh that's a very cool idea!

Please stop posting my inner thoughts, we have privacy laws in Europe that apply to U.S. based entities as well!

Sardegna was the biggest surprise this week, it's a small box containing an engaging game that feels big.

It was anice to revisit Eldritch Horror (twice) after all these years. 🙂

Lastly, Middara has been great so far but its art style and (complex) rules prevent us from recommending it to people.

BG Stats 3 x 3.
Eldritch Horror;
Eldfall Chronicles;
Middara: Unintentional Malum – Act 1;
Sardegna;
Orapa Space;
Linko.

New comic! Bringing loads of games to game night and only ending up playing one or two small ones... Who else does this? 😂

👀 You can read this week's blog post (it's a long one!) at
semicoop.com/comic/beast-of-burden/ #gamenight #boardgames

Two panels. Above the left, it says: "Games I brought to game night". We see Heinze carrying a very big and heavy backpack holding at least 15 games (it shows the outlines of the boxes through the bag). Above the right panel it says: "Games we played at game night". We see the same image of Heinze carrying the back pack with only one small game highlighted in the entire backpack.

This Is Not a Game About a Pipe

Delve into René Magritte's surrealist theme. Is that a Pipe? Is that a Card?
