Playing some Railway Boom tonight! Finally getting to play it since getting it in Essen. Very interesting auctions and @ianotoole.bsky.social crushed the Design. It is perfectly intuitive.

My favorite Cover of 25. Hands down.

Roku has enjoyed playing his first heavy strategy board game of the year, it’s Carnegie from @pegasusspiele.bsky.social, the cover art by @ianotoole.bsky.social is so cool.

Railway Boom Review - Choo choose a great new game Railway Boom's hook, its something special, its little bit of ooh-la-la, is the bidding mechanism that underpins nearly everything that happens.

I was lucky enough to get a copy of Railway Boom for me from Essen. I love it, and introduce it to anyone and everyone I can. I wrote a few words about what makes it so special for me, which you can read here - punchboard.co.uk/railway-boom... @okazubrand.bsky.social @ianotoole.bsky.social

Hope to see y'all tonight!

We enjoy Rococo every time we play it, never disappoints. it’s elegant, clever, and so visually beautiful. Behind all the lace and silk, though, is a sharp strategy game. It’s competitive, but in this classy, subtle way. 👗🎩

Ayar: Children of the Sun Review - I have an Inca-ling it's going to be good Ayar does things differently from its predecessors, but still retains the feel and atmosphere of them while offering something wholly different. I think it might be the best of the bunch.

I've been playing lots of Ayar from @ospreygames.bsky.social @flopiano.bsky.social @mandelafg.bsky.social & @ianotoole.bsky.social . I've really enjoyed it, and written a full review which you can read right now. Head over and see what makes it tick - punchboard.co.uk/ayar-childre...

Thanks!

the box for Ayar

the player board with a multitude of components on it

the male and female Ayar tokens fit together perfectly

Ayar by @flopiano.bsky.social and @mandelafg.bsky.social from @ospreygames.bsky.social with art by @ianotoole.bsky.social is a real point salad. You can’t do everything and need to keep two score tracks in balance all at the same time. I’m quite enjoying it. 🙂👍 #boardgames

A two-handed learning game of Ayar from @ospreygames.bsky.social @flopiano.bsky.social @mandelafg.bsky.social & @ianotoole.bsky.social in the books. First impressions are great, I want to play again right away and do better sun scoring! Touches of Merv, Sankoré and others all over it.

Got the latest version of the rulebook printed. Ready to play this tonight! #TheGreatLibrary

Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts.

There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

Both great!

Possession is a trip. Great to see it on the big screen for the first time.

Nice! I’ve been meaning to see that for a while, huge Bogey fan.

October watches! Had a BLAST binging the Universal Monster universe this year. What was your favourite spooky movie that you watched in October?

Facebook is showing me images from 6 years ago when I was messing 🎲✂️ around with this design.

Exciting to see it come to wide release very soon and with, I have to concede, improved art & graphic design thanks to @ianotoole.bsky.social, and much better gameplay thanks to @flopiano.bsky.social.
