The top 40 #boardgames countdown continues apace and these 5 games round off the first half of the list. I still don’t know how some of these missed a top 20 place… they’re an awesome 5 nonetheless!

The top 40 #boardgames countdown continues and there are some absolute doozies as we enter the 30s. This five would make a great #boardgame collection of their own!
Plus more #glastonbury

The wonderful Stalagbite! gets the #boardgame review treatment in today’s blog. I’ll also be demoing it at the @ukge.bsky.social next month, so come check it out for yourself. 🙂

Initial thoughts on Heat Legends #boardgame, plus news on my recent expansion into a new form of media 🙈 You’ll now also find me on the TikTok, same username, GrahamS Games

Two of the gorgeous new rival cards placed on the USA map board.
Being friendly with the folks at my FLGS has its advantages. When an expansion for one of my favourite #boardgames arrives, I’m the first to know about it. 😊 Glad to have picked up Heat Legends yesterday.
I take a look at the dark side of #boardgames today, as I recount a tale of cheating 🫣. Fortunately, I’ve only experienced it the once and in a game that you may not expect. You may want to read this one from behind the sofa today folks! 😱😳🙈

More Earthly #boardgame thoughts. A game I’m happy to play 4 times in a row is undoubtedly a good one!

Earth card display including sprout and growth tokens. Scored 199 points.
A complete tableau in Earth is always a delightful #boardgame sight. I forgot how much I enjoy this one solo.
Iron Woods, A Mechanised Bunny and more mindful purchasing… it must be #boardgame #blog time! 😊

Already done! 😄
Best of luck - I hope this is the year of the Hot Takes! 🤞😊
I’ve covered the excellent Infernal Machine by @gmtgames.bsky.social a lot in the #boardgame blog recently. It culminates in this, my full review of probably my favourite war game to date…

I was the same. £13.49 in a sale last year was the trigger-pulling encouragement I needed! I’m glad I did and would still have been happy had I paid full price for it. Fun game.
More thoughts on today’s plays of Boonlake #boardgame.
In short, it’s a bloomin’ good solo euro game!

Boonlake main player board with my blue pieces and the solo player (The Wise Eminence) in yellow on the right. Just about at the end of setup.
Set up for some Bank Holiday Boonlake. A #boardgame I’ve only had 1/2 a game of so far… but it made a great impression.
I complete the final scenarios from Infernal Machine #boardgame by @gmtgames.bsky.social. I love the narrative that emerges in my head through play and this game has taken up all the real estate in my head currently. It’s a remarkable thing.

I love the Easter break. Nice weather, time away and, of course, plenty of chance to deep dive into some #boardgames! 😊

The UK Games Expo is at the end of next month and I’ll be there with Midlam Miniatures helping demo one of my favourite dungeon crawl #boardgames.
Are you going? Excited yet?

What are your thoughts on Salton Sea?
Learning a new #boardgame. For some, it’s something joyful. For others, something to be endured before you can finally get going and play the thing.
Today, I take a look at the various ways of tackling this learning process and what works for me.

Cousin’s War, Ghost Stories and Infernal Machines. It all added up to a great weekend with some #boardgames

I continue to explore the training scenarios in Infernal Machines #boardgame. Never has learning a game been so much fun… or a theme been quite so tense.

Early experiences of submarine training scenarios in Infernal Machine. I’m already obsessed with this solo #boardgame from @gmtgames.bsky.social. It will be taking up a fair bit of blog space in the coming weeks! 😍⚓️

Tolkien Reading Day yesterday had to be celebrated with a #boardgame that involved reading some Tolkien… it helps that it is a flipping good one too. I moved on For Northwood! but these Lord of the Rings trick taking games are my solo trick takers of choice.

Box of Infernal Machine. A solo submarine designing game from GMT games.
So… this just turned up on my doorstep, courtesy of @gmtgames.bsky.social.
Today just got a whole lot better… and my weekend writing schedule a whole lot busier! 😍 #boardgames #solo
Too early for me to tell… there are rules for custom runs etc, once all scenarios have been completed.
Even if not, thirteen 40 minute gams of something is better than may manage in this hobby 🙂
