Parikrama and Kursi being tabled side by side at Meeplecon India - Phoenix Marketcity! Amazing weekend of pure gaming :) #meeplecon #india #mumbai #boardgames #convention #cardgames

One of the funnier things I spotted at #meeplecon was when we all got out our phones to log each play. Highly recommend #BGStats.

My player sheet is in German, outlining the moves and types of pieces. Above my board is a completed tile.

I enjoyed this lovely polyomino game with the Ghosts expansion. The pieces feel really lovely (and make that wonderful clicking noise). Bit of a brainburner.

I have the purple 2-3, aqua 0, 5, 8, trump 0, red 0, 5, and three buoy cards with the -3 showing.

Back to a trick taker I very much enjoy! Here’s the weird hand I picked up in the second last round.

My board has lots of different types of landscape and animals. The landscapes are round wooden tiles, the animals are small acrylic cubes.

Thriller to pick up a copy of this beautiful game today. So glad that my co conspirators enjoyed it too.

Won #ForestShuffle on 2024-12-01 with 2 players, winning score: 183 #bgstats #meeplecon

I like this game although I don’t think I have the hang of it yet. But the theme of building a beautiful forest ecosystem is very peaceful.

My board has a collection of stamps arranged on it, as well as a printed “exhibitor”. I have collected additional exhibitor cards that give bonus points, as well as specialist cards that give a special ability & 2 points each. A central board has scoring conditions.

I was literally too tired to post this last night, even though it’s just a copy paste.

Played #StampSwap on 2024-11-30 with 3 players, winning score: 130 #bgstats #meeplecon

This was fun, but I don’t feel I need to own it. Hobbyists go to a 3-day convention (!) to collect stamps.

Won #KrakelOrakel on 2024-11-30 with 4 players #bgstats #meeplecon

Amazing how well the stars align with the dotted lines to create drawings.

Won #JustOne on 2024-11-30 with 8 players #bgstats #meeplecon - still probably the best “word guessing” game out there.

Played #ThingsinRings on 2024-11-30 with 6 players #bgstats (twice) at #meeplecon

I do love the Venn Diagram mechanism in games. This reminded me of Knit Wit (which I haven’t played for a long while), maybe with a smidge more game.

Tables with a range of old and new boardgames.

Currently on the tables: Bluey Keepy Uppy, DropMix, Ninja Catfoot and the Covert Adventure - if you’re at #meeplecon come play in the #hybridgamesroom

This version of Pairs is subtitled “the Princess and Mr.Whiffle”. Mr Whiffle is a teddy bear.

Cute and fast push your luck game (so of course I lost horribly). Glorious illustrations.

Adorable dinosaur pictures on these cards.

Won #DinoTricks on 2024-11-29 with 4 players, winning score: 5 #bgstats #meeplecon

Super nice little trick taker coming to Kickstarter next year.

Won #Roaring20s on 2024-11-29 with 4 players, winning score: 43 #bgstats #meeplecon

Adorable card game where you bid to attract dinosaurs to your fancy party. Currencies are gems, food on skewers, drinks with umbrellas, lava cakes.

Played #SurfosaurusMAX on 2024-11-29 with 4 players, winning score: 52 #bgstats #meeplecon

Fun quick card game. Congrats to Helen who won and to the rest of us who all tied for “second” on 42. Start player is the person who is the best surfing palaeontologist.

Still enjoying this easy card game that we picked up in Essen.

Won #KrakelOrakel on 2024-11-29 with 4 players #bgstats #meeplecon
Super tricky drawing game for people who, like me, absolutely cannot draw. A bit hilarious but I’m still annoyed that @fraserinau.bsky.social dumped my “scarecrow” because he thought it looked too much like his “hairy”.

Played #DroPolter on 2024-11-29 with 5 players, winning score: 5 #bgstats #meeplecon
Really like this super simple semi dexterity game from Oink games. The heat meant we all had sweaty palms (gross) which added a weird degree of difficulty.

My completed happy doggos.

Played #Spots on 2024-11-29 with 3 players #bgstats #meeplecon
Gorgeous game of making Dalmatians with the spots on your rolled dice. This is a family favourite. Pierogi is my favourite doggo.

A plastic box of boardgames in a bag. It contains: Odin, Sideboards, Bus & Stop, Spots, News Boys, Dro Polter (invisible but it's there), Speculaas, Forest Shuffle, Krakel Orakel, Superstore 3000 (aka Only Murders in the SpaceMall), Surfersaurus MAX, Roaring 20s, Fischen.

Excited (& a bit nervous) to be heading back to lovely local #MeepleCon games convention. Tonight, we’re going as normal punters, taking this box of newish shortish games that Bigster & I picked up at Essen. Tomorrow, we’re running a hybrid game room where people can try the games we’re researching.
