In case anyone is wondering if Codenames: Duet can be played with pictures from Codenames: Pictures: yep, works like a charm and we actually enjoy it much more than with words. With words it felt annoyingly difficult, so we tried it with pictures and finally got our first win. For us the pictures are much […]

Well, my wife and I love Codenames: Pictures and never played the word version. So we went into Duett and felt it annoyingly difficult – then also switched to pictures instead of words, but full rukes of Duett and that combination fee…

by TheGargoyle
Airborne Commander is fun for a while, but replayability is only so-so with it – it is kinda a one-trick-pony where games feel quite similar, only differing by you getting screwed by the random market. You want to have more or less th…

My Spiel 2017 haul is Azul (loved my first play and it just looks so damn good!), Codenames Duet (wife loves it, played 6 times yesterday), Wir sind das Volk!: 2+2 (will have to wait for our semi-regular game group), and Konja (Kickst…

It really looks pretty – Azul might be one of the most good-looking games in my collection. Helps that it plays very nice, too. Light, fluffy, tile-drafting and pattern-building game with just enough bite for serious gaming, but easy enough to grasp for pulling in gamers looking for stuff beyond gateways.
Azul – Frisch Von der Messe, erstes Mal gespielt, bin durchaus angetan und hoffe auf mehr. Sieht auf jeden Fall schon Mal hübsch aus – das Auge spielt ja auch mit. Shared on Google+ by Georg Bauer: It really looks pretty – Azul might be one of the most good-looking games in my collection. Helps […]

we are talking about GQ here. Of course it can be canceled and sent at the same time. If someone would achieve this, definitely GQ would be at the front of the list 😉

/u/bboomslang on Kickstarter Roundup: Oct 22, 2017 | 20 Ending Soon (incl: Resident Evil 2, Numenera 2, & ELO Darkness) & 52 New This Week (incl: Too Many Bones: Undertow, Downfall, & Legends of Sleepy Hollow)
In for that one, too, even though it actually isn’t that much value – went in for the 100$ level, as that seems to have the best bang for bucks. The good thing with CTG is that there is no FOMO, because everything will be available later on. It’s mainly about being the first to own it 😉

Damn, Menoetius really pummeled Geta of Pompeii. Just couldn’t get up to speed quickly enough to make him move around the board and he got a few nasty shard shocks in, no way for me to realistically beat him today. Hoplomachus: Rise of Rome might not hit my table often, but when it does, it always is a fun experience. Definitely among the best solo games I own.
Endlich Mal wieder Hoplomachus gespielt. Hauptproblem ist die grosse Kiste, die man immer gerne irgendwohin weg räumt. Denn das Spiel selber ist immer noch fantastisches für solo spielen – und ich freu mich schon auf Karthago und Machu Pichubals neue Städte Ende des Jahres.
