One last one - if you get a chance, stop by the @smirkanddagger.bsky.social booth! Really good selection of new board games, from 2 player Enthrone to the party based This Game Is Killer. Already played Enthrone 3 times, definitely worth it if you like 2 player games!

Next up, some ttrpgs! Please please check out @wetinkgames.bsky.social, I’m a huge fan of “Never Going Home”, but they have a brand new one this PAX Unplugged called Garbage and Glory where you get to play as raccoons! People have been loving it. Check them out!

Last day of PAX, time to share some amazing booths for last stops!
@asmadigames.bsky.social has some fantastic games like Innovation and Good Puppers, but I had a chance to play Mystical Curling Club, a really fun dexterity game about, well… Curling! Check it out if you can. It’s on Kickstarter!

We had such an amazing time playing the SCIRE mega game at #PAXUnplugged! Based on CBR+PNK and run by @mythworks.bsky.social, it was a massive ttrpg of 60+ players who had to try and survive, get transformed, forced to change teams, and tons of other surprises. Absolutely worth the experience.

If you get to the far corner of the #PAXUnplugged expo hall is @absurdistprod.bsky.social and they have an amazing board game called Winter Rabbit. Made by a Cherokee team and written in both Cherokee and English, it’s a semi-cooperative game of surviving winter!
Worth checking out if you can!

It’s great to see Nature by @northstargames.bsky.social out for sale, with all the expansions! One of the first places we stopped at #PAXUnplugged. If you ever liked playing Evolution or Oceans, it’s absolutely worth checking out!

Congrats and good luck to everyone who enjoyed the release of ARC Raiders yesterday! Some of us absolutely didn't stay up until 2 AM playing it. <.<

We had a good #boardgamenight this last week! We played Avatar: The Last Airbender board game, Star Realms, and what’s become a weekly favorite, Thunder Road! We often end up getting looks with people shouting as the dice are rolled and the cars blow up. #boardgames

Had a great time playing Void Crew last night by @joinvoidcrew.bsky.social last night. It's still one of our favorite multiplayer games for the sheer chaos of managing a ship.
What are some of YOUR favorite multiplayer games?

We had a good board game night yesterday! Pulled out a long time favorite War Chest by @alderaceg.bsky.social, tried to fix an oil spill from @smirkanddagger.bsky.social, and played the new shiny Moon Bunny from @hotbananagame.bsky.social!
All very different, all very fun.

We had a good #boardgame night last night! Played multiple rounds of “This Game Is Killer” by @smirkanddagger.bsky.social, Twilight Struggle, Innovation, and even brought out VAST: The Mysterious Manor! Good times had by all.

So Summer Game Fest is starting in less than three hours... we'll be streaming it for our community to hang out and chat as the reveals happen. What games are people excited for? Is there any one game you REALLY hope gets shown?
...Yes, besides Silksong.

Game nights have been great lately! Last week we ran Innovation by @asmadigames.bsky.social, with mystics with flight globalizing the world. We also had VAST: The Mysterious Manor by Leder Games! The Skeletons won, despite the valiant efforts of the Paladin.

A good #boardgame night again this week! Deep Regrets has been on the table every week since it arrived, and we tried to save Rome from barbarians in Pandemic, but failed beautifully.

We’re having a good #boardgame night! 13 people at the local board game cafe, playing the fancy version of Innovation, classic Tyrants of the Underdark, and Deep Regrets, the new hot board game!

Last week, we managed to get to the table we haven’t played in years - Shasn! It’s such a strange blend of board game mechanics with a striking art style.
Playing this new version with new scenarios. Coming all the way from India, can safely say there’s not a game like it! #boardgames
