boardgames

I enjoy trading card games a lot, and was wondering if there was such a board game that could capture that feeling at higher player counts (without spending money on booster packs)...

Sorry if this isn’t the right place or format to ask questions....

I am looking for ways to track scores for games where the included score tracking is not great. I would like something tactile, I already use apps but I’d prefer not to fidget with digital devices at the table....

I am in the market for a new game but struggle a bit to decide which one! Most of the reviewers on youtube I find obnoxious, trying to hard to be funny and often not really useful. How do you decide? Especially if you cannot play the game beforehand?

Everyone has different preferences but its THAT time of the year again and getting some inspiration could be useful :). I really like practical solutions like gaming mats or storage solutions but not sure where to get the best ones.

Hi all, not sure if there’s a better place in the fediverse to ask, but I’m looking for suggestions for a 2 player game. Something that is pretty quick in terms of set up, learning, and play. My go to for this scenario right now is the Tacocat game by the makers of Exploding Kittens, but I’d like to branch out and try some...

(now with corrected week count)

Have you ever missed or misread a rule and ended up playing several games the wrong way before you noticed?

I find it interesting to see how board games change to coinside with the times. Some examples below. Please excuse anything I may have wrong as this is solely from memory and I can follow sources if you feel I recalled something wrong. I’m also not a good writer so I apologize for any poor wording regarding a particular topic,...

I am looking for a simple card game that would be fun for the elderly and at the same time would break the monotony of traditional card games, that they are currently playing. Preferably something internationally popular so it is easy to buy in the EU.

Which games did you play - any tips, suggestions, warnings or awesome strategies? - Please share!

I very much enjoyed the original Bang! and it’s additions. I want something that feels like the shooting dice equivalent to Bangs! Poker. How good is the dice version and are there other games that are better but share the direction?

I’ve just had this idea. Why don’t we create a bot that scans comments and replies to them with boardgamegeek links for every game found in the comment?...

Some games come with gigantic stacks of cards that I find hard to mix with card-friendly methods. Games like Ark Nova, Clank, Hogwarts Battle have unmanageable decks but I hate bending the cards....

I recently watched some videos on this game and I absolutely love the art style and gameplay. However my normal group is 3 to 4 people, I’m wondering if anyone has any good alternate rules to accommodate additional players. I’ve done some googling and there are some ideas out there, but nothing really solid as far as I can...

We are old friends and every year, we spend a weekend in a rented house to play boardgames and drink beer. That’s great, but it’s always a challenge to pick the next game. Sometimes, the most pushy person simply grabs the privilege....

In anticipation of this years Essen Spiel 2023, which games have you played last week? Any nice discoveries, interesting mechanisms, reviews, warnings and experiences are all welcome!

I really love the Core Set of the AH LCG! Now I want to dig deeper without ending up poor. What are my options?...

So the major aspect affecting pricing in the last 4 years are paper costs, COVID, and possibly tariffs with China (the latter I have heard the least of from vendors)....

It’s a tarantula, obviously....

Tips, suggestions, warmings? All is welcome!

Hey everyone!...

While I like the concept of the game, I find the amount of key words and rules to juggle cumbersome and my GF was unable to get a handle on what to do....

Sometimes I love to buy the mobile version of a game, because I know my group would never play it, the setup is too much or it’s kind of expensive (Root, Gaia Project, Scythe)....
