September gaming on @bgstatsapp.bsky.social was helped by a private gathering of gamers weekend in the wilds of Norfolk.
LotR Fate of the Fellowship topped the list in plays and enjoyment - what a cracking game from @wizkids.bsky.social

@tsmag.bsky.social
Just back from a small Boardgame get together with friends in the wilds of Norfolk. Great venue, fantastic games and a few beers 😏.
My highlights were: Fate of the Fellowship, Black Orchestra and Tekhenu along with the ever spooky Blood on the Clocktower.
August game plays on @bgstatsapp.bsky.social had a lot of lighter games. My favourites for the month were Obsession and Mombasa both of which deliver a fantastic gaming experience.

Happy reading.
July’s holiday played into my game plays @bgstatsapp.bsky.social
It was good to play some games designed for 2 players and Jaipur did not disappoint - it’s a great game.
Other games of note have been Das Motorsport Spiel and Airlines Europe - a couple of golden oldies!
However I consider reviews done by reviewers who charge to review a game (which includes most - if not all - video reviewers 🤔) highly biased/ dishonest as they need to continue a business relationship with their “sponsors”.
These “reviews” are pure advertisements and of no value to me as a gamer.
What I mean by the term “monetary payment” is that someone has made a specific payment for a specific review.
I do not consider general Patreon support or a single review copy of a game falls into this category, providing that the reviewer is totally honest and not biased in their review.
If a reviewer does an honest review of a game explaining why they enjoy the experience of playing that game, then that review itself could be considered an “advert” for that game as it may encourage others to seek the game out.
I think honesty goes out the window if any monetary payment was made.
June’s @bgstatsapp.bsky.social with the great story telling Arthurian Knights from @wizkids.bsky.social hitting the table. Jaipur and Agent Avenue are fun for 2 players.

My May gaming on @bgstatsapp.bsky.social
Great fun with Flip 7 which really comes alive with higher player counts 😆.
Story telling with Tales of the Arthurian Knights - a great experience!
Continuing space trips with Galactic Cruise.
A wide range of games makes a great month.

Last night The Arthurian Knights were creating Tales of their adventures across the realm.
Tremendous fun was to be had as they travelled across the lands in search of renown😆
Two cracking new games entered my collection in April @bgstatsapp.bsky.social - the outstanding Galactic Cruise from @drandagames.bsky.social and the fun Flip 7. What a great month of gaming.

March was a cracking month for @bgstatsapp.bsky.social
gaming, helped by a small get together on the South coast.
To game of the month is definitely Galactic Cruise from @drandagames.bsky.social
@tsmag.bsky.social
Just back from the annual gathering of gaming friends on the south coast.
I played some great games but the stand out for me was Galactic Cruise from @drandagames.bsky.social which I enjoyed so much that I ordered a copy before I left! 😃.
@tsmag.bsky.social
We played the original this week. It was interesting that Google translate failed to translate nearly all of the film titles😆

February’s gaming was boosted by the WinterDice get together. Some great games hit the table and Railways of the World was a first for me…….and it is now in my collection.
With another get together in March, 2025 is becoming a great year for games.
This issue includes my reviews of SETI & Diluvium and snapshots of Saer and Night Ky Explorers.
