Do you think it should be open information how many times a board game has been played at the time of being reviewed?

Forgive me if I'm being dumb, but why bother with the first race if there's no points and it's only the winner of the second that determines victory? 😅

No big deal, just one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever taken in my entire life 🥹

Gonna toot my own horn and say this about me too, but only because once, after teaching a group at the cafe I work at, they suggested I become a teacher...

...and they were a group of teachers. They even offered me a job!

I think teaching games is a skill and, to toot my own horn, I think I'm pretty good at it. My formula? 70% knowledge, 20% energy 10% being loud.

Picked this up in Japan as I've heard nothing about it and couldn't find anything on BGG or the Internet and it's just been released here. I love the OG so hoping this is good too 🤞

Hmm, I was chatting to a friend before I left who gave me an itinerary that I am using as my base, it includes a good chunk of the central part of the country, and goes s far west as Hiroshima, but I'm quite flexible and will go with the flow!

I LOVE puzzmo! Favourite regular games are Memoku, the crossword (cos it's one I can actually finish!) and FlipArt

Yeah I recall one employee told me as such, since then I've just tried to put them in my hold luggage. Never realised that about MtG though!

“The best game of all of these I’ve used in the class is Votes for Women by Tory Brown,” says Fishman. “You get to learn about both the people who were supporting women’s suffrage, and some of those unsavory characters why they didn’t support it...”

This might be a first for me, seeing proper board games for sale in the airport (past security!)

Anybody else know the curse of being scanned at security for having a deck of cards in your bag?

Having never seen these films, you could've totally fooled me into thinking there were was a character called Brad. He's one of the Hoblins, along with Freddy, Sam, Pipsqueak and Marty right?

Taken from a Facebook group but thought this was really cool. Not played Everdell but I love that gamers will utilise their skills to self upgrade their favourite games!
