Cards, 4 d6, 1 d10, and some progress tokens for the board game Kinfire Delve: Callous' Lab which is in the process of being played.

The final boss defated (middle card) after we've defeated the 4 gauntlet cards (left right up and down), showing the required 25 in progress tokens, the d10 die showing a value of 6 (our health) and the two cards we played to deal the final blow to Callous. Acid Arrow from the seeker Valora, and Stout Build from the seeker Roland.

We played our first Kinfire Delve game last night, and again this morning because we lost the first attempt 😅

Really great and fun experience!

Pile of gold and silver colored coins with two different images of Queen Victoria on the front side. Backside had various symbols from the game and coin values (though it seems fairly obvious that larger golden coins would be a higher value than smaller silver colored ones). There's only 2 coin values in the game: 100 & 500. The coins are thick and hefty.

Final layout for me. I went nuts with blue service tiles (2 of the courtship phases scored blue), and I bought and used/flipped 2 purple tiles to the monument side (Hermitage & Lionheart Suite). At the very bottom there's a glimpse of my objective and VP cards. Did pretty well on them too!

Got the metal coin upgrade for Obsession, because I love metal coins in games...& I've got everything else🤣 Had a pretty good game today! #boardgames

Woah, they look amazing! Metal coins are so satisfying aren't they? It's one thing we're planning to upgrade when we're able to - METAL COIN ALL THE THINGS 🤣

Whoops 😬 saw this yesterday in the “For You” feed and assumed it was recent or same day.

Didn’t expect to be served something from 3 months ago.

Sorry! hope you enjoyed the games though 😅

Nice! please update us how you feel about Compile, especially in relation to Air, Land, & Sea.

We only have the latter but have often seen them compared? It's been on our wishlist, though maybe we should spend more time with what we've got first 😅

Still need to get around to this game, I played the alpha back from 2013, and while I don't remember specifics, it was for sure a positive experience.

Oh nice, maybe I've been using the location entry wrong? We use that to mark where we physically played a game 😅(Home, BGA, friends house, etc)

Nice that you can use the app for it. We do love BGStats 💜

I'm not sure I understand the question, sorry.

We have 12 boxes for the kallax units (A to L), and each box has a different number of games (boxes) inside.

We can get quite a lot of games into one box if they're on the smaller side, 25 in box B for example 😊

Our system for storing board games is to chuck them (gently) into a box, which then goes into a Kallax. Paired with a "database" to help us find anything we need.

We'll be explaining it all a bit more in an upcoming video 😊

How do you like to organise/manage your collection?

I want to thank people who took the time to read the document and watch the video I shared. It is also important to me that it is understood: I do not believe Matthew, Paula, Monique or Naveen (or anyone else) had involvement (or awareness) of the actions the owner of Game Night Picks took. 1/4

PNP Arcade is now closed.

I'll be posting all of my PNP games to itch for the time being. Today I've added Crownfell, Crownfell: Last Stand, and ExoShip there; I think those were the only ones missing:

We've decided to move on from TikTok, and in 5 days we will delete our account from the platform.

If you've watched, interacted with, or shared our content from there, thank you 💜

We'll still be posting short form videos on YouTube, and hopefully @skylight.social once that is available in the EU.

The BoardGameGeek Hall of Fame 2026 - Day 5 Inductee | BoardGameGeek News

@boardgamegeek.com For an award you say acknowledges artistry, why are you choosing to highlight a game:

- That uses AI art (which surely is anti-artistry if anything)
- Designed by a person whose transphobic views have no place in our industry (artist = artistry)

We just played through the trial on PS5 - such a great experience! Well crafted game too, even the super small details like our characters in the loading screen animation 😅

Thanks again for the rec! We're going to get it 😊
