Still.... a task they could easily do 🙄

I like how you show them up by noting the designers / publishers in your article
Which takes like maybe 10 minutes of research on BGG?

My #1 movie!

Seconded!

Your #1 is SOOO huge and I see so many gamers forget that or actively ignore it!
If you want people to have a good time, SET them up to have a good time by catering to their interests!
Don't just invite people to play games because you need warm bodies around the table to play YOUR favorite game.

Well-deserved!

Despite a slightly click-baity title, I think this is a really excellent, well-reasoned discussion about how people fall into creating board game collections as a separate hobby from actually playing them, with great points on both sides.

Exactly!

Bootsy Collins?

Ok. You've popped up frequently on my feed for a while
But THIS gets a follow! 😁

Happy Birthday!
Hooray for January birthdays 😁

Thank you for doing good journalism on stories like these that are hard to suss out since they take place across multiple platforms and with a lot of hearsay in comments sections.
I appreciate it!

I'm starting to remind myself that "friendly" does not necessarily relate to "kind and caring", but people conflate the two often.

If you make it down south in the near future, the Academy museum in L.A. is about to open an exhibition all about Ponyo 😁

Don't know what this is referring to, but in the board game sphere this is very applicable right now!

Now I'm very interested in this Chudyk game I've never heard of!

Cartographers.
Love the different scoring options each game.

But I might be salty because I had this one specifically ruined for me before I got to see it in its first run.

This is why I hate when people say "It's been out forever! There's a time limit on spoilers! Get over it!"

I Could Have Danced All Night YouTube video by Chubby Checker - Topic

You think you've probably heard all the possible songs, and then Chubby Checker singing My Fair Lady pops up on shuffle....

But I do seriously enjoy being able to see which of my games get played less or which ones I haven't played recently

Downloaded @bgstatsapp.bsky.social a few years ago and haven't looked back.
Some of my friends say I'm too obsessed... but I think they're just jealous (annoyed?) that I know everyone's win percentages!

@mondomascots.bsky.social and @willquinnart.bsky.social are delightful follows!

KTLA can't figure out this year how to make the Rose Parade announcers louder (or even AS loud as the crowd noise).
I need to know if the floats were covered with black poppy seed, blue statice, or ground parsley!

Glory to Rome box cover

Also, my honorable mention is Glory to Rome!
A game I have played in the past but didn't fall in love with until this year. (My most played game of 2025!)

Move Steve and Dustin up. Move Will down.
But otherwise this is pretty solid.

Oh yeah you do!
One of the things in the game is to draw the path of a Second Line through the streets
Plus lots of other thematic stuff

Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship; Citizens of the Spark; Cities; Subjective; Décorum; Fishing; Nunatak: Temple of Ice; Magical Athlete; French Quarter.

My top new-to-me games of 2025.
There was a clear #1 this year! #boardgames
