kimu<p>Played Sprocketforge for the first time today. Really surprised this wasn’t a hotter game at GenCon because it’s a super awesome game! Maybe because it’s a smaller publisher (Sophisticated Cerberus) &amp; also a higher cost ($70). But gosh, really great game play, solid component quality, some unique mechanics with gears. (Note that the game comes with plastic gears; this was <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@timcoffman" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>timcoffman</span></a></span>’s top game pick so he upgraded to metal gears which are awesome but additional cost.) <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGames</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TabletopGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TabletopGames</span></a></p>

Ian Malcolm<p>This evening my partner and I went old-school with Castles of Burgundy: instead of random or fave boards we both played Board 1, like a couple of newbies. 😜</p><p>Worked well for me, I ended my losing streak of recent weeks by squeaking ahead to victory, 185 to 170.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGames</span></a></p>
fletch49er<p>I have the original 'A Wayfarer's Tale'.

Matt Filizzi<p>Weirdest encounter working at a convention: some guy walks up asking about the game we "sell", I explain this is a lending library. He hands me a slip of paper and asks if we have the game on it. I flip it over and look at it, it's a ticket to the Superman movie from yesterday. I look back up and he's walked away. </p><p><a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/conlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conlife</span></a> <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/otakon2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>otakon2025</span></a> <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/otakon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>otakon</span></a> <a href="https://tabletop.vip/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boardgames</span></a></p>
Dr Alice Violett<p>The photos I took aren't great but my friend got A Place for All My Books and it's so cuuuute!</p><p>And also very realistic that you have to bumble around at home resting and reading and rearranging your books to build up the social battery to go into the village for more 😅 <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGames</span></a></p>

Iain Cheyne<p>Odin</p><p>Climbing games aren't as variable or as deep as tricktakers, but this is surprisingly different.</p><p>Instead of the usual 2-3-4 or 4-4-4 combos, the cards make number place values so a combo of 6-3-1 is the number six hundred and thirty one. You also have to pick up one of the cards of the combo you beat.</p><p>Lots of decisions in a small, cheap, attractive pack.</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boardgames</span></a></p>
