#board games recommendation

Ticket to Ride is always a pretty good choice. The rules are simple & straightforward - you build routes on your tickets to get points. It has a couple of versions - express ones (Ticket to Ride: London), for 2-3 players (Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries), standard one (Ticket to Ride Europe) and a looong one (Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails). I haven’t tried the short ones but you can finish the Europe or USA one in 50 - 60 minutes, the Rails & Sails in 2 hours. Flamecraft is my current favourite. Here you visit shops, collect materials, place dragons and then spend the collected materials to enchant shops. You collect reputation with the town to win. The art is absolutely adorable. Takes up to 60 minutes to finish. Karak is a tiny rpg game - a dungeon crawler where you explore catacombs, fight monsters and collect treasure. Each player has a different adventurer with different abilities. The game end when you slay the dragon and the winner is the player with the most treasure. Takes around 45 minutes to play.

Cat Lady - where you collect cats, toys, food, catnip and costumes. You get points by feeding the cats with the collected food, getting different toys or having the most costumes. Some cats have special point rewarding ‘abilities’ - for example: Get 1 point for every fed white cat. This ones takes only about 20 minutes to play.

I played these in a group of 3 people and we had a blast. :)

Give me board game recommendations pleaae :3

Preferences:

20-60 min playtime

Fun with 3 ppl playing

Relatively easy to explain the rules

We like playing settlers of catan, pandemic, tiny towns

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Tabletop Gay-Ventures!

My name is Asunder and I’ve decided to start a blog about the various tabletop roleplaying games I’ve collected over the years.  I need to share this with anyone and everyone I can.  My overall goal for this page is to share what I know, share opinions, reviews and homebrew.  I want to expand people’s tabletop experiences and expand mine as well.  I might even talk about other things, like board games or books, or start a youtube channel.  

This page will not focus on any edition of Dungeons and Dragons or on Pathfinder 2nd Edition.  There are a lot of people who talk about D&D and also good folks who talk about Pathfinder.  I want to bring attention to smaller ttrpgs that might be overlooked.  Might do Call of Cthulhu, Anima, Overlight, Glitter Hearts, or something else!  I have over 100 games and I’m planning to get even more!  

I plan to go over each game’s system, setting, overall rules, player options, referee options, design/aesthetic, my opinions,  safety tools, and homebrew ideas.  Some of these games will be complicated, some will be simple, some won’t even have a game master.  Let’s find out which is which together!

Here's a link to my current list of games Here's a link to my lexicon of ttrpg terms

Please reblog and follow me @~@

Shout out to my mentor, Maigen Thomas, for making my pfp and giving me the kick in the butt to do this! You can find her here: https://maigenthomas.com/

Also shout out to my favorite local gamestore, Games of Berkeley! They've been huge in helping me find all kinds of interesting games both new and old. You can find them here: https://www.gamesofberkeley.com/ They deliver!!!

Also also! I made an Instagram. Might post bits of the reviews there or even draw some art and post it on both. Dunno yet! Here's the link: https://www.instagram.com/tabletopgayventures/

okay crafting is probably delayed again I possibly overdid it today and had another flareup of Weird Bad but it did not result in Unexpected Floor Time this time so I think I'm getting better?

[colorfullyminded]

Here's your excuse to rant about pinescone

Okay-- Okay, this is so ahhh. It's silly but listen!

I was playing Horrified with my family, and I love board games-- so i can totally imagine Dipper and Wirt being into board games-- and Dipper is always pulling out this gameTrying to be all charming and cute and like "Wirttttt- let's play this one" And Wirt usually doesn't mind, but just Dipper being so into this game even though he's probably actually met some of these in real life monsters himself. Though sometimes Wirt fights him on which game to play-- and it's not like in a "No, I'm tired of playing this game Dipper, I wanna play something else" The reason he fights Dipper over this game is because he wants to play this version (the original version)

Because horror movie monsters and book related monsters are Wirt's bread and butter so these two are arguing over which version to play until the next game comes out

And both of them just kind of look at each other like >.> <.< It's the best of both worlds! ....though they do still argue over which version to play sometimes, though if they can't compromise-- Greek Monsters usually is the happy medium and it's a coop game so they're working together and trying different strats, and when they win they get all dorky, and sappy, and mushy (Board games surpisingly bring out a lot of passion)

Anyway, I needed to ramble a little because I have all three games XD

And it's very fun, and this feels so much like Dipper and Wirt's cup of tea and I love the concept of them playing board games together cause you know they do DDMD. Lately, when I've been playing games, I start imagining how Dipper or Wirt would exist in the world-- or what character would they play as-- what weapons/style/class would they pick. Im playing Elden Ring right now with the though of making two separate files that would be based on Wirt and Dipper. Like I just love these two nerds playing games together-- board games or video games. They each have their own favorite genres that the other doesn't like-- but they also do have a lot of similar taste; and sometimes they'll play something their partner really likes because they love their boyfriend and want to make each other happy! They love each other so much! I'm so fucking feral for this goddamn crossover ship--why?! XD

((...That doesn't mean they can't be little shits though.

Lol, imagining Dipper not putting out for Wirt after because they didn't play the one Horrified he wanted to instead, like the little petty bitch he is Wirt: But we won, we always celebrate after a win Dipper: Yeah I know-- I just--- I don't know. I would have felt more excited if we had been stopping Bigfoot-- Wirt is, of course, not going to let his brat get away with this. ))

Anyway, I just-- valentine's day made me want to write more ideas of them playing games together, but I don't know how fun it would be to write characters playing this board/video game in a fic. So to the headcanon pile they go. If I could draw, it probably be easier to draw little sketches of them in the world of the game/their character designs. There are so many dumb little things I think about on a daily with these two.

so my friend and i played this word magnet game and decided to do an ace attorney themed round

[orcelito]

Bought a stupid suit thing. Disgustang.

[willczek-art]

Remember this concept from a while back? Here's how it ended up looking! :D

Way less elements actually got done, but seeing how far away this is from my drawing comfort zone I'm more than happy with this result ;P

Disney Dreamlight Valley Content Roadmap

(Image from DDV social)

It's going to be busy in the Valley with new Villagers!

And even more busy if one buys the Expansion Pass because the Royal Hourglass can be used in the Valley and in the other Realms to search for hidden treasure! ⏳ And Eternity Isle is just as large as the Valley.

Can't wait to craft and use the Ancient Machines!!! Among other things...

[adornesibley]

A good work colleague of mine has put up a Kickstarter for a sick looking puzzle adventure game with a thick physical manual for the spaceship you’re aboard and an app where you apply the things you’re learning there to fix problems on the ship.

I immediately backed it on the digital tier (as downunder shipping costs are brutal) but I highly recommend a physical copy of you’re in Canada or State-side.

Make sure to go wish them luck and consider backing them! They’ve got a ways to go, but this project has a hell of a lot of potential~

I can't believe you've ran back to the pixel farm

in my defence: fields of mistria is a very, Very good game.

The Ultimate Guide to Solo Board Games

In recent years, solo board gaming has quietly emerged from the shadows of its multiplayer counterparts, carving out a distinct and vibrant niche within the board game community. Once considered a pastime for the introverted or those struggling to find a gaming group, solo board gaming has transcended these stereotypes to become a celebrated and integral aspect of the hobby. Whether due to the…

GUYS

if ur in to TTRPGs (or just want to roleplay your blorbos) turn the game of life into a roleplaying game!

at the beginning of the game, everyone chooses a character to play as throughout the game. I chose to play Eddie Brock, one of my friends chose to play Norman Bates, and my other friend chose to play Jonathon Sims. for each card or major life decision, you have to roleplay how the characters would react (ex. marriage— which character are they marrying? how does the wedding go? etc)

the best thing that happened was Norman Bates vs Jon Sims surfing competition and Eddie Brock suing Jon Sims for stealing a stapler

Cool Board Games for Your Library

Nersha – $30 CAD

Type: Board Game Players: 2 Mechanics: Area Majority/Influence, Grid Movement, Modular Board, Multiple Maps Playtime: 10–25 min Age: 12+ (likely accessible to younger children if they play Chess) Skills You Practice: Strategy

The goal is to lead 3 of your pieces home before your rival. Players take turns sliding 1 of their pieces across the board. There are no captures or jumps, but players' pieces will keep sliding on open tiles if they move in a direction until they would run into something. When you lead a piece home, that's one less piece on the board to block your rival. Every piece on the board may help or halt your progress.

While Nersha has several board layouts that ship with the game, players can decide to change the board or the number of pieces to play with, among other aspects. There are also seven different tile types that can add more complexity to mapmaking. 

This game is designed to bridge between casual or abstract games you learn as a kid with daunting games like chess, bringing together all playstyles.

Why it’d be good for a library collection:

Family-friendly

Medium difficulty gameplay

Versatile game difficulty
