It was painful to type that Tim. I know. It HURT you! 😂

Underrated

Sometimes a classic just keeps on hitting. We haven’t played Splendor in so long, but we’re both tired, ready for a classic engine build and we had a solid time!

Adam must have been sooooo happyyyyyy!!!!

There must have been a lot of liquor at that dinner! 😂

You all deserve the joy that this photo translates. Hope hope hope this is one of the last photos before you get to be an “award winning podcast”. I really do. Have a lovely lovely best trip xxxxx lots of love to you all; best ever folk to grace the boardgame media with your presence xxx

So much about this photo!!! 💜 Chris and his lovely happy smile 💜 Adam and his smug grin! 💜 Tim ans his new beard! So much going on….. before we even get to the 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 sandy con view!!!!!

Ohhhh a co-op convert is growing before our very eyes. I’m proud of your development @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social 🫣

I’ll Report back! ☺️

Ohhh @andyhre.bsky.social can’t wait to listen in. I hope you were as funny and wise as you are in written form! 🤣💜

I will. And I also need to try stardew valley again (for 3rd time!) 😂. I am on holiday in April so animal crossing might be good to dip the toe in then!

I’ve never played animal crossing. It’s cozy where you’re going around little campsite island looking after it for guests. A few quests etc. reminds me of “a short hike”. I tend to like short cozy games with a tiny bit of narrative. Something like stardew valley is too overwhelming!

Cozy switch game #2 of the year. Haven Park. So cute! And such a distraction from stress!

Call to adventure. Genuinely…. Where has this little light story telling gem been all my gaming life?! 💜💜💜💜

I thought Cafe would hit a little light relaxing coffee themed cozy chill spot …. ☕️ but my little brain is scrambled. I suck at logic or engine building. I need a board game coach! 😂

What’s starting the cozy spring Sunday afternoon of card games? Charming Velonimo 🙂

Awww you must be having the best time! 💜

Awwwwe this would be an instant buy for me

The thumbnails are only one of the reasons I’ll be spending my geek gold nominating / voting for @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social for podcast of the year if / when the awards come round again this year! 🤞🤞

We had a great time discussing how we approach board game strategy on this week's podcast episode.

How far are you through ticket to ride legacy?

Cozy game alert …. I’m in love with Winter Burrow. I want the board game. Please someone design it. 💜

We quit after about 9 turns. Very very rare for us not to see a game through but it felt like an assignment. It had been on the shelf unplayed for a few years. I don’t remember it being quite this clunky, over engineered ball ache last time.

He is a poet isnt he?!

Merchants of the dark road. Yikes…. It’s a slog.

Just played draftosaurus and my immediate thought was “oh I remember how peaceful this is- why has it taken us 3 years to pull off the shelf again!”

Why do commentators in this hobby need to be so right v wrong, judgemental and categorical so much. It’s really starting to give me the ick. When did we lose the ability to accept a range of views, instead of the “I said you’re wrong therefore you must be and I invite the mob to pile on”. 🤢

A person is having their finger prints taken with the text “PRINTS ANDREW”

Don’t do it! 🤣

It’s so funn!!
