Sharing our hobby with you, one boardgame at a time!

Got an awesome package from @gmtgames this morning. I hope you’re ready for some new COINtent, ha ha ha ha.
Time of Crisis from @gmtgames is just as special as I remember it being. A deckbuilding, wargame/eurogames hybrid with lots of decisions to make and just the right amount of mean. I love this game!
I want to start giving a #SundayShoutout to some of my favourite boardgame publishers who are doing awesome things. This week it’s @bigpotatogames! They make really fun, accessible games that are for everybody. No matter what skill level or type of game you are looking for. They make party games that are super fun and clever and so many of my mates love them. Plus they are just awesome people. Thanks Big Potato! 🥔
I love taking a look at some of the behind the scenes artwork and development that goes into making games. OverBattle is a huge game set in a huge fantasy world with lots of character and narrative. Four races will battle to change the world as they know it. The makers of Overbattle haven’t just created a game here, they have created an entire world. More info coming soon!
New blog post where I talk a little bit about this beautiful wargame. Sekigahara. Link in bio! ☝️😊
I love trains. What’s your favourite train game? 🚂 🚂 🚂
Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth is a new game coming soon from @ospreygames. It’s a retheme of the incredible The Lost Expedition which I love a lot and I’m really excited to play this version. The art is 🔥🔥🔥
Playing some Battle of Britain from @pscgamesuk. Richard Borg is one of my favourite ever designers and I love the theme of this one. Have you played it?
Really looking forward to getting House of Danger to the table soon! Have you played it? I’m not usually a big co op fan but the choose your own adventure element really excites me!
Brighton, I’ve missed you.
I’ve got so many wonderful words to say about Sekigahara. I hope you’re ready.
Stoner parking lot from @killjoyisdead at @elmcitygames last night. This one is clever. I like it.
Tower of Madness from @smirkanddagger.
I may have persuaded Debbie from @WhiteWizardGames to get a nice new sparkly copy of Twilight Struggle. Spreading the @gmtgames love!
As I’m working in the @whitewizardgames office this week, I might as well do some unboxings of their products. I’ll be doing a Star Realms Frontiers unboxing this week!
I can’t sleep and I was thinking about how awesome The Lost Expedition is and how awesome the re-themed version, Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth is.. Maybe there’s a blog post in this. Hmmm. Have you played it? I love them both!
Currently learning The Quacks of Quedlinburg from @northstargames! Have you played it? It isn’t my usual kind of game but I’m really excited to try something new.
Terraforming Mars going down. I always forget how much I love this game until it hits the table. Such an amazing game!
New Keyforge deck, who’s this?
Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth is a new game coming soon from @ospreygames. It’s a retheme of the incredible The Lost Expedition which I love a lot and I’m really excited to play this version. The art is 🔥🔥🔥
