Fellow designers: Listening and changing your perspective is what you are asking of players with your games. It's only fair to be open and humble when players are offended by elements in you game. Being sensitive & thoughtful will only bring more people into your magic circle

Working through our shelf of shame with Compounded! Was skeptical at first as we heard it doesn't work well at 2p, but we were pleasantly surprised with the dummy player ("Nobel"). We took turns controlling Nobel which added further depth. Will play again! #boardgames

Time for another #rollandwrite - Lanterns Dice: Lights in the Sky. I enjoyed the mechanic of chunking dice into the tray to resemble the tile in the original game, very clever! #boardgames

This is one of our older #rollandwrite games in our collection, which we still cherish a lot. Won it in a contest at #BGGCon some years ago and it has traveled with us to many places since. #boardgames

Playing Imperial Settlers Empires of the North with Japanese Islands! I was the Umineko Clan, and figuring out the storage strategy was a fun puzzle. Love the easter eggs in the art too. #boardgames

We spent our weekend exploring the incredibly rich and detailed world of Sleeping Gods. Excellent story driven narrative and world exploration. All I want to do is keep playing but it's Monday and this little thing called "work" gets in the way! #boardgames #sleepinggods

It was a nice day to go fishing! Coldwater Crown is a worker placement with familiar mechanics (reminiscent of Raiders of the North Sea in the worker placement) and a super unique theme. We may have to hunt down the expansion. #boardgames

Pan Am was easily to learn/teach and really fun! Love that just because a game is in a big box store that doesn't mean it couldn't be great. I think this exposure brings more people into our hobby. Nice job Funko Games Prospero Hall #boardgames

First game of Champions of Midgard, which had been sitting on our shelf of shame for too long! This isn't usually in my wheelhouse due to swinginess of dice rolls, but I enjoyed the worker placement aspect and fighting monsters! Heard that Reavers is more euro-ey? #boardgames

Recruiting students and doing research in Alma Mater #boardgame! We have had our eye on this for some time and finally got this to the table. Lovely production (book tokens!) with vibrant art. Played different from Coimbra, definitely thinky and would take many tries to maste!

The production quality of deluxified Yokohama Duel was impeccable! In addition to detailed components, the dual sided gameboard catering to "side by side" vs "across the table" playing was a thoughtful touch. I'm glad that we finally got our copy to experience it! #boardgames

Our first play of Tiny Epic Pirates! Our favorite in the series had been TE Quest, and so it was no surprise we enjoyed this immensely with the map exploration, action selection wheel and of course, the pirateer theme. Great production and incredibly fun!
