I struggle with what to call these types of games - family games, casual games, welcoming games, gateway games? Basically, these are great games you can play in an hour or under and they are easy enough to teach to most people. I love games like that!

Steve Jackson Games is running a Black Friday sale alongside their holiday sale. Some of the deals are pretty wild, like the Box of Astonishments ($160 worth of games for $100), a Car Wars Mega Bundle ($185 of games/accessories for $100) and the Munchkin Gift Pack ($55 worth of games for $35). They also sell really fun dice. Seriously. Unicorn dice. Circuit dice. Steampunk dice. Roman numeral polyhedrals. Dice where the pips are kitten paw prints. And tons of rainbow dice.

Family board games at my aunt’s house. Obsessed with her paper plates and napkins combination.

Also, we are playing Pirates of the Caribbean Life. My mom is the small olive-green ship in the background: a landlubber who just sold their fancy clothes to make money and is way behind everyone else. I am attempting to convince her that she has a great kinship with Stede Bonnet the Gentleman Pirate. She is singing “Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville.”

Update: Now she is singing “Sloop John B.”

Update: Now she is doing cannon sound effects. (She has had exactly one-half of a pumpkin ale. She is just naturally like this.)

Staff Picks: First Game Ever Played

Here is a collection of some of the @RealWomenGaming staff's first games they remember playing, compiled by @ThiatheBard #Nintendo #BoardGames #MagicTheGathering #retrogames

Our staff love a plethora of games. Most of us have been lucky enough to be playing at least some kind of games since we were young. Here are some of the first games ever played by our staff members! Henry started us off strong with Pools of Radiance on the Commodore 128. “I loved it and it helped push my love of TTRPG based games.”  Salty had a video game in mind with Donkey Kong Country. “I…

Phase 10 is an adventure in our family. We are a family filled with sore losers. Anyways, appreciate some quotes from my grandfather learning how to play for the first time 🥰🥰🥰

“My watch says no events today, but by gosh we could put phase 10 on there” -my grandfather

“Are we still on phase one?” -my grandfather. “Yes, we’re still on phase one.”- us “oh, how many phases are there? 3?” -my grandfather “there are 10”- us “oh that’s bullshit” - my grandfather

“If frogs had wings they wouldn’t bump their butts” -my grandfather (no one has any clue what this means)

This particular game ended with two people rage quitting (one of them was my grandfather)

I won though, so…

A Way Back Home is our forthcoming title to be released next year. It follows the story that we started with Zura. This little fella was used as a kind of scout in Zura, and we will try and make the abilities you can use in A Way Back Home closely to the counterparts in Zura.

Reception was overwhelmingly positive in Essen Spiel 24 which makes us super excited to get this out to you in 2025. We are planning to Kickstart this in late March/early April, so please stay tuned for more info.
