I bought this 1980 Matter Dungeons and Dragons electronic game as a nostalgic novelty, but now that I’ve started playing it … it’s super hard to stop! This sucker is addictive! Plays up to 2, but it’s a great solo game.

My lucky day on eBay. Just got an original 1979 Avalon Hill Dune, still in shrink wrap for a bargain basement price. Now I have to deal with this dilemma: open and play it or keep it as a collector’s item? 😬

I can't remember who said they're into pinball but tell us some of your favorite tables. I've been getting into pinball lately and it's a much deeper game than I thought. Would love to hear some of your favorite ones to play.

Finally got Anunnaki off my shelf of shame today. Some pretty cool stuff going on, which I’ll talk about in a future episode of @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social. Judging from the current state of things, it looks like Odin and his crew are about to drop a bomb on Ishtar’s flunkies.

Finally playing Unconscious Mind this morning. Started early so we could catch an open table in the hot games room. This sucker is a complicated table hog, but a couple of turns in I’m super intrigued. And, this may be one of the most beautiful games I’ve seen in a while.

Flamecraft may be the most adorable board game I’ve ever played. AND, not only is the art terrific, but each dragon, shop, etc., is unique.

Just played Wolves by @coyoteandcrow.bsky.social for the first time with my physical copy. Super clean and pleasant production, and the novel semi-cooperative gameplay was a hit with my group! Cool feeling to be planning ahead to ensure your opponent survives. Love it!
