First game of Calico! 🐱 Final score: 48 to 43. This game is the definition of a 'brain-burner in sheep's clothing.' It looks so cute and cozy, but my brain is tied in knots trying to satisfy all the patterns AND the cats. Phew! 🤯 #bgstats #Calico #BoardGames

Haha, 67 zu 64 ist wirklich episch! 😮 Respekt an eure Würfel! Unser Rekord zu zweit liegt bei 63. Irgendwie scheinen wir notorisches Würfelpech zu haben. 🎲 #Würfelkönig #Brettspiele #Würfelpech

First game of "Krakel Orakel"! ✍️ Brilliant concept: Draw your secret word on a random scribble, others guess from a public pool of words. The confusion when your "Door" looks just like "South America" and both are options... priceless! 😂 #KrakelOrakel #PartyGame #GameNight

Der Familien-Spieleabend im Urlaub ist gesichert! 🎲 Erst das Gedächtnis mit "Memoarrr!" auf die Probe stellen und dann bei "Würfelkönig" um die Krone würfeln. Die besten Abende sind die, an denen alle am Tisch sitzen! 👑 #Familienspiele #Memoarrr #Würfelkönig #Urlaub

I think I found paradise on my vacation (Gouda, NL): The "Bordspelers" board game café! 🤩 You walk in and immediately feel at home. Shelves full of games everywhere, cozy tables... an absolute dream for every gamer. I basically want to move in! ❤️ #Bordspelers #BoardGameCafe #Gouda #BoardGames

First a round of board games and then the perfect ending by the campfire with marshmallows. This is what perfect vacation days are made of. 🔥 #Vacation #BoardGames #Campfire #FamilyTime

The Efteling gift shop with the usual suspects: Branded versions of Monopoly, Ludo, and Stratego. It's more souvenir than game library, but it's always interesting to see which classics get the branding treatment. 😅 #Efteling #BoardGames #Merchandise

Spotted at the Efteling theme park: Their very own Monopoly edition. It's one of the great, unwritten laws of the universe: If a place, thing, or concept exists, there must be a Monopoly version of it. I was strong and left it on the shelf. 😉 #Efteling #Monopoly #BoardGames #Merchandise

Playing "Piña Coladice" tonight. 🍹 Mixing actual cocktails felt like way too much effort, so canned long drinks will have to do. 😉 Gotta stay on theme... kind of! 🎲 #PinaColadice #BoardGames #GameNight #Vacation

I think the vacation elf couldn't decide what to play last night... so they just unpacked ALL of them. 😅 The look on the kids' faces tomorrow morning will be priceless. I guess our first vacation game will be 'Clean Up This Mess'! 😂 #VacationElf #BoardGames #FamilyVacation

Football on TV and Pass the Pigs on the table. Pure pub vibes for a vacation night. When the match isn't delivering any points, you're counting on the pigs to do the job! 🐷⚽️ #PassThePigs #Football #GameNight

The hunt was successful! 🇳🇱 Played it at #BrettHamburg and fell in love, bought it on vacation in the Netherlands: "Brick by Brick"! Who needs wooden clogs for a souvenir when you can have this? This is going to be fun! 🧱 #VacationFind #LEGO #BoardGames

Game hunting on vacation! 🕵️‍♂️ The selection at the local store: mostly classics and about 50 versions of UNO. But discovering a Catan or Ticket to Ride hidden among them feels like a successful archaeological dig. You just have to know where to look! 🗺️ #BoardGames #VacationFinds #GameHunting

Das untrügliche Zeichen, dass der Spieleabend vorbei ist: Das Glas ist leer. 🍷 "Agent Avenue" war der perfekte Absacker. Gute Nacht! 🌙 #AgentAvenue #Spieleabend #Feierabend

A huge appreciation post for the art in Agent Avenue! 🕵️‍♂️ It's the little details that make it special: even for cards of the same type, every single illustration is unique. No copy-pasting, just pure love for detail. It really elevates the whole experience! ✨ #AgentAvenue #GameArt #BoardGames

Zwischen all den neuen, komplexen Spielen tut es einfach gut, mal wieder einen Klassiker auf den Tisch zu bringen. 🃏 Skip-Bo. Der ewige Kampf gegen den eigenen Kartenstapel und die heimliche Freude, wenn man den Mitspielern den Weg verbaut. Simpel, aber immer wieder gut! 😅 #SkipBo #Klassiker

Arrived at our vacation rental and this is the table! 😍 A giant, built-in Ludo board. The suitcase full of games we brought is still closed, but the first game is already underway. Priorities! What a brilliant find! #Vacation #Ludo #BoardGameTable

The vacation suitcase is packed! 🧳 I think my priorities are clear. The essentials are in there – clothes are optional and can be bought at our destination if needed. You can't just buy the right games there! 😉 #Vacation #BoardGames #Priorities
