So I have a 3-year-old daughter, and my wife and I just played our first actual board games with her. We played Patchwork Express, where we had to do a lot of handholding and tell her exactly what to do, but she really enjoyed building the quilt. Then we played Pass the Party Food, which may as well be tailored specifically for teaching toddlers to play board games, because it combines parties, sweets, sharing and puppies in an extremely easy to understand package that she was instantly able to interact with and enjoy. Now I'm on the hunt for toddler-specific board games. We have Animal upon Animal and Rhino Hero but she may not be quite there with her physical dexterity. Have any goons had wild successes with any particular games for the pre-school set?

Also, my 2 yo will happily spend an hour playing with the components to Formula D. Any old Kickstarter disappointments you happen to own will potentially have similar success. My 7 and 5 yos will still happily spend 30 min playing Agricola and 2 hours playing farm story time.

When my daughter was that age we played a version of Carcassonne where there were no scoring or meeples and all you did was take turns to place tiles legally. Can do a similar thing with Kingdomino.

An interesting video game out a few days ago: Horror Boardgames | The Anatomy of Terror's Least Likely Home It's from Spice8Rack who is mostly a Magic: the Gathering content creator rather than a board game one, by way of Youtube essayist which is why it's two hours long. Also, you can scope out dat Spicey board game collection.

The only time I’ve felt true terror playing a board game was playing Jack in Letters from Whitechapel, and the cops are about to take a vote over whether or not to arrest on the space I’m in.

Also, you can scope out dat Spicey board game collection. Oh yeah, I watched that, too! I thought the creator made some good points. Its definition of what makes a good horror game was maybe a little too restrictive, and that game it claimed was the best of the best, The Night Cage, looked maybe a little too brutal for my tastes, but I do agree that the domain of horror games could use some more love. But then, I'm not a horror person. The only horror game I own is that old game Ghost Stories, and that's more of a wuxia film with spooky elements rather than an actual horror game.

Playing Spyfall! as the spy, where no one is using personas. I guess, less terror and more anxious dread.

I haven't sat down to play a board game in quite a long time, but my Castles of Burgundy Special Edition arrived today and I'm incredibly excited. The box doesn't fit on my shelf. Thanks for reading.

Had a boardgame birthday weekend recently and determined the following things: You cannot ask for better party games for heavy gamer nerds than Guards of Atlantis II and Stationfall. We did GOAII all night Friday night and Stationfall all day (and night) Saturday, with GOAII hosting 6 players and Stationfall being groups of 6-8 and both were incredible. GOAII is so precise and team-oriented and solely about skill as opposed to luck, whereas Stationfall was the perfect counterweight as absolute every-person-for-themselves chaos. Stationfall also wound up with some pretty great immersive storytelling, particularly in the second game where victory fell to our Telepathic Rat because it wound up sitting on a throne of corpses that a Tentacled Monstrosity had created for it when the station re-entered orbit alongside our Schroedinger-revealed Daredevil who had managed to drag a Maintenance Clone into the only escape pod which hadn't been fired off empty of cargo by the Station Chief who had lost their mind. (Two players with the highest scores win in 6-8 player games, for further great justice/chaos). We also finally got Woodcraft to the table Sunday and while it feels very much like a Frankenstein of some of Suchy's other works (Pulsar and Praga, particularly), I love his work so much it hardly bothered me. Unconditional recommendation for GOA II and Stationfall. Strong rec for Suchy fans on Woodcraft.

I'm thinking of trying to find a board game convention in Texas to go to this year. Is BGG's con in Dallas still happening? It seems like a lot of the Texas cons died recently and while this site claims to be selling tickets, details are sparse enough to make me want to double check. Especially since Google sent me to a couple of dead sites first.

I don't know personally, but based on some searching, it looks like it's happening? https://tabletop.events/conventions/bgg.con-2023 I found that by looking around BGG's forums and saw they referenced the site tabletop.events and then searching there.

My game night host has a copy and can confirm it’s a really great game — it’s been our goto whenever we have 4 for a month now. If you can’t find a physical copy, there’s a full version on Tabletopia (but premium): https://tabletopia.com/games/guards-of-atlantis-ii/play-now I haven’t played the online version but the game’s owner has and says it’s both good and has a pretty active discord community to find games.

There aren't a whole ton of (non-card) games that do something in the "team play" space, I totally missed this one the first time around. Speaking of clever team-based games one day I'm trying Pericles: The Peloponnesian Wars. Someday!

I'm SO jealous that you can get a group together for Guards of Atlantis, that all want to play it. I found it impossible to find enough people committed to playing it, but, worse they'd actually bounce off it and hate it. You NEED a core group of 4,ideally 6, willing to play it like ten times. It's one of the best games I've ever played, but I'd never recommend anyone buy it because it just seems so unlikely to me that you'd ever get it going.
