First game night in 3 weeks. Catan Junior (little one won by cheating βΊ) , Codenames, Resistance: Avalon (lost by Merlin assassination, as usual), and Louis XIV (RΓΌdiger Dorn , Alea, 2005 β dry but good). No pics, but it did happen. #boardgames
Welcome to Centerville (GMT). Yeah, probably too long β but also easy, a bit mean, point-saladΚΌy, with a pleasant city building/political theme. Works with beer and pretzels. #boardgames

I've started liking the term "Boxed Game" over "Board Game". It's more suggestive of the Russian Doll ergonomics of them. I wish we had more games that explore this nature. Escape Room and Legacy games really push it. I think the undressing is even now... still overlooked. https://twitter.com/e3kmouse/status/994592410880491520
Looking for a #FLOSS tool to create a simple grid out of hexagons inside hexagons. Need to be able to quickly/easily rearrange or resize multiple tiles and/or color-code them and/or fill them with a texture - for a #tabletoprpg #prototype test board
Suggestions?

Played two modern classics, San Juan and La Granja, tonight. Both pretty tight 2p matches. No pics (so, did it happen?). #donkeytime #boardgames
Santa Maria and Azul at today's Pegasus game day. Both super dry and thinky. I feel I need to throw some dice at Cthulhu now... #boardgames
hm, just noticed that sometimes image attachments are embedded using the .../original/... URL, sometimes .../small/... β how does this work? Why sometimes the one, other times the other? Client dependent? Image size? Original, of course, looks much better.
Mastodon admins/devs: can the image size and/or quality (compression) of the previews be increased? On the profile pages (e.g. https://boardgames.social/@fabian) images look really crappy. The /small/ thumbs are too small, imho.
I like how BoardGameGeek, on its market overview pages, rounds BS prices like β¬39.95 to the next full Euro: β¬40. π

Someone made a quick video on How to Play P. I. using my implementation. Exciting! #boardgames π΅οΈ

Totally noobed it in last nightΚΌs Clans of Caledonia. Trying to do a 4 bread contract in round 2 with no grainβ¦ In the end I finished not too far behind for my almost-no-contracts βstrategyβ, but still. π€¦ββοΈ
On the table again after 1.5y: Scythe (5p). With only 2 achievements the Rusviet faction still (surprisingly) won. Very close: 50 to 47 to 47 to 4x. Also: New Bedford (3p). Balance discussions on the former (as usual), "okay" reactions on the latter π π³ π€ #boardgames
Exporting whisky π₯ and beer π» in today's game night. Clans of Caledonia. 3p. 177 VP. Good one! #boardgames π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
