👋 Board Game Homies here! Sitting around the table are: Reed (she/her), Becky (she/her), Gillean (he/him), and Angela (she/her)!

Yellow border to represent Reed’s choice of board game player color around an image her: she is smiling with a cute squinty face, has brown hair, and is wearing glasses. Behind her is a blue sky and cityscape.

Green border to represent Becky’s choice of board game player color around an image of her: she is smiling, has medium length brownish hair that is actually red, has a septum piercing, and is wearing glasses. The background is blurred.

Teal border to represent Gillean’s choice of board game player color around an image of him: he has a small smile, has short dark hair, short facial hair, is wearing glasses, and has a grey sweatshirt hood over his head. The background is blurred.

Grey border to represent Angela’s lack of choice of board game player color around an image of her: she is sitting at a table, looking down with a smile, with tattoos on both arms, and perfect salt and pepper hair. The background is blurred.

Yeeeeep. Though, the lizards kept up pretty well until the last 7-8 points.

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Apr 18

Our group is playing this for the first time tomorrow! How long was your first play?

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Apr 18

No, but we absolutely should have! Would not recommend these three together. 😂

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Apr 18

Let’s gooooooo. This is going to be an interesting mix of characters!

Torchlit by David Spalinski! Loving the vivid colors and adorable art of this game. At the end of each trick, the person who played the lowest number (regardless of suit) chooses which cards will be added to the dungeons for end-game points AND leads the next trick.
#boardgames

Picture of Torchlit the trick taking card game. In the foreground, there is a hand of cards with the focus on a 4 Ghost. In the midground, the rest of the game is set up with seven dungeon cards, the player’s explorer meeples, and the cards making up the points for each dungeon stacked below.

This spread looks and feels springy!

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Mar 24

We’ll look into those changes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Our group has been considering selling OG Everdell to purchase Farshore. What are your overall thoughts about the two games?

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Mar 19

Agreed! How were the solo plays?

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Mar 18

That’s great! Have you played either of the other Span games?

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Mar 17

Finspan! We’re excited to share our review of the latest Span game by @stonemaiergames.com

This is a fun, snappy game! We’re already looking forward to more fish. 🐠🐟🐡

😆 What a perfect sentence to describe this game! 🔥

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Feb 25

It’s a trap!

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Feb 17

Gaaaah Dune Imperium is such a great game! It is in my top 3! I love both the original and Uprising. Overall, I think Uprising is the better game out of the two, but they are both so well done.

Board Game Homies Podcast @boardgamehomies.bsky.social · Feb 17

Heck yeah! We’re also looking forward to Speakeasy and The Great Library 👀⏱️
