My amateur setup in my bedroom for my board games photography 🤣

PLAYTE are doing a great promotion at #BGBE2026. You can get a whole freight and fill it with games for 10.000 yen.
I made a video with some of their games if you wanna check out their lineup:

I’ve just been to Taiwan, what a great place!
Got to eat so much food at the night markets and look at such amazingly lush green scenery. Of course I snagged some Taiwanese board games too hehe

I’ve made a video talking about some of the games at the upcoming Board Game Business Expo in Osaka #BGBE2026

We finally played Scout !
Wow no wonder this is a Spiel des Jahres game. It plays so well. I love getting into this combo-maxing thought-space.

Mysboard Games has kindly shared with me to showcase two of their board games that will be on sale at the Board Game Business Expo in Osaka 2026. In this video I teach you how to play the cooperative deduction card game "See you in 10 years":

I didn’t know bootleg board games exist 😓 I bought a copy of TTR & Sky Team. When I opened them TTR’s cards had very poor print quality and Sky Team’s dice were red instead of orange. I went online to check maybe I bought an older version, but no, turns out they’re bootleg. This is so disappointing…

I keep telling myself I shouldn’t buy more board games till the end of the year but I just saw that “Crisps!” has been stocked on @saibep.bsky.social ‘s booth, I rushed to grab a copy.

7Wonders Dice has such a relaxing gameplay vibe 🏛️

Do you know the game “Harvest”? It’s a smallbox Japanese game released in 1992 that is still super popular to this day. If you ever travel to Japan and want to buy a local game, this is my top recommendation.

Tonight we played OPEN by Takashi Saito. It’s so neat how he is able to make such quick and fun shedding games using a standard deck of cards. The art and design are so clean.

For my last Christmas in Japan, I got to celebrate it the Japanese-way, with a big bucket from KFC! 🍗✨
