This quick card game is themed around the best animal in the world. Otters! On your turn play a card that matches 1 of 3 available suits or rules, if you can do both you get another go. Create a chain to be out of cards before anyone else? #otters #ottercardgame #boardgames #cardgames #imhavingmyone

Ages of War review copy kindly supplied by the publisher. This is a super simple card battler set in the ancient world. More to come on this one but for now we’ll just say it was easy to learn, pacey and fun! #agesofwarbattleforthebronzeage #agesofwar #boardgames #ancientegypt #imhavingmyonepodcast

If the Pandemic link puts you off, don’t worry there’s a lot of difference in the engine building element here and enough going on that you avoid the “alpha gamer” “quarterbacking” that the original could be prone to, definite recommendation #daybreak #boardgames #imhavingmyone #imhavingmyonepodcast

A bit more of the excellent Daybreak from @mattleacock.bsky.social This is a Pandemic style, world saving game where you’re struggling to reduce the carbon output of the world….

then adding an area control and cat and mouse (Hobbit and Nazgûl!) element whilst modifying existing mechanisms to suit the theme. Whether you’re a fan of the original or not, this is excellent. #lotsoftherings #duelformiddleearth #lotr #boardgames #imhavingmyone #imhavingmyonepodcast

Our first full game of Fate of the Fellowship & I loved it! It feels very thematic and it’s pretty difficult to win! The challenge of completing your objectives while preventing your Hope number sinking too fast is just the sort of thing I enjoy #fateofthefellowship #boardgames #lotr #imhavingmyone

Kariba is a great small box game where you will win points by placing animal cards around the waterhole, scaring off smaller animals to their right. Big animals scare little animals until you get to the mouse, which scare elephants and then round you go again. Quick tactical fun #kariba #boardgames
