I tried Zapotec #boardgame last night. Seems a great choice for a midweek evening euro game. I liked it.

The weekend ended up being a bit of a @flatoutgames.bsky.social fest. After Friday’s Fit to Print, Point Galaxy, Knitting Circle and Cascadia all got some time at my table. I find their #boardgames to consistently hit for me.

More Galactic Cruise from @kinsonkeygames.bsky.social @drandagames.bsky.social on the #boardgames blog today. It’s proving to be one of my favourite euro games of recent times and was a great way to spend my Saturday morning. 😊

Thanks Rory 😊

Starting it 3 years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It brings me a lot of joy. 🙂

My review of one of the hot releases of 2025, Fate of the Fellowship, is now up on #boardgames blog. It comes complete with the tenuous use of quotes. One can simply head there to read them.

Leaping Lions is fun and very pretty… but they will get carried away and dance off the end of your play mat! 😄

More nautical #boardgames in today’s blog. The Nautilus gets a second run out in the wonderfully thematic Nemo’s War, whilst I continue to have no Shallow Regrets about my love of (almost) all things solo from @buttonshy.bsky.social

I rectified a notable gap in my solo #boardgame playing experiences today. I played the excellent Nemo’s War at last. It was worth the wait.

A 16 year old design that still felt fresh and interesting. Lovely.

In today’s #boardgame blog I take a look at those in my collection featuring the wonderful art of @ianotoole.bsky.social. Be it through characterful illustration, or intuitive graphic design, it never fails to add positively to my board game playing experience.

It’s a big ol’ #boardgame blog entry today. I take a look at some of the #wargames I’ve now played from the perspective of a former non wargamer.
It was harder than I thought to write about… but I got there and am pretty happy with this one. 🙂

Thanks Melissa. Often my reaction is ‘I don’t want to’ only then to wish I had, come the end of the evening!

Sometimes a bit of couch rest is needed… but more often than not I find myself being far happier getting to the table and playing something light for 15 minutes. It’s great to have games that cover that 🙂
