Just tried Viscounts of the West Kingdom for the first time this week, and I’m loving it! 🎲 As a fan of Paladins, I was excited to see how this one plays. The deck-building twist is fantastic, and there are many strategies to explore. The solo AI is very well done. #boardgames

Just had an awesome game of Century: Eastern Wonders with my daughter! 🌊 While I love this version, the rest of the family still prefers Spice Road. She totally crushed me! 😅 I love sailing my little merchant ship from island to island. Can’t wait for our next round! 🛳️✨ #BoardGames #FamilyFun

Just introduced my son to Beyond the Sun today, and we had a blast! 🚀✨ This game is unlike anything I've played—exploring a massive tech tree and colonizing planets kept us hooked! Can’t wait for our next space adventure! 🌌💫 #BoardGames #FamilyFun #BeyondTheSun

Just introduced my wife and daughter to Tokaido, a board game about exploring the historic trail! 🌏 After one game, they're still on the fence but eager for another round. Can't wait to dive back in together! #boardgames #tabletopgames #familyboardgames #qualitytime

It's been too long since I have played the excellent #aeonsend . The New Age is a great core set with an expedition mode. This time I was a bit rusty and couldn't pull off a win against Maggoth this game can be punishing if you are not efficient.

A narrow win on Blitzkrieg World War 2 in 20 Minutes in the Nippon expansion. This is a nice twist on the base game where Japan and Germany duke it out in the United States! There is even a godzilla unit!

Managed a nail biting win against Apocolypse in Legendary Marvel . Jubilee and Emma Frost teamed up nicely this game. Still really enjoy Legendary, simple and fun deck builder. #boardgames #tabletopgames #qualitytime

I have had Shipwrights of the North Sea Redux from garphill games for not quite 4 weeks and played it 16 times already! It's a breeze to set up, plays in 35 to 45 mins and has some nice variation each game. Have tried solo and 2 player so far and loved every game! #boardgames

Dinosaur island rawr n write is such an amazing roll n write game. Plenty of pathways to explore on the two sheets. Such a satisfying feeling to build your Dino park and watch it payoff during the run phase. Tried a bgg challenge last night #boardgames

I had a decent amount of time last night and went straight for the excellent Paladins of the West Kingdom from Garphil Games. This is one of my favourite solo games. The ai is very smooth but challenging. No win for me last night. #boardgames

Finally managed a win on the 7th fort in the Hadrians Wall campaign from garphill games . The campaign keeps me coming back to this chunky flip and write. Still really enjoying it. #boardgames #tabletopgames #soloboardgames

My games of Dune Imprium always seem to come down to the wire. Last night was no different a narrow solo loss with all 3 houses within a point of each other. Still one of my all time favourite games! Masterful blend of worker placement and deck building. #boardgames

A fun game of the isle of cats with my youngest daughter. This time with family mode, such a great option for kids or beginners. The full mode is my favourite way to play though. #boardgames #tabletopgames #familytime #qualitytime

I love Century Eastern Wonders, but I don't get to play it as much as I would like as the family is a little keener on Century Spice Road. But last night, I managed a game with my daughter. #boardgames #familytime #familyboardgames #qualitytime

Anyone tried Raiders of Scythia solo? Looks like fun and I really like the Garphill Games I have tried so far. Currently have Paladins of the West Kingdom, Shipwrights Redux and Hadrians Wall. #boardgames

Taught the family scout this week and it was a mixed bag, one of my daughters loved it the rest of the family not so much. Also managed a game of Jaipur. Still one of my favourite 2 player games. #boardgames #tabletopgames #cardgames #familytime

Have now played a few games of Shipwrights of the North Sea Redux from @garphillgames since it arrived. Really enjoying it solo and multiplayer. My plays are around 40 to 60 minutes. Solo is 40ish minutes and really enjoyable. #boardgames #tabletopgames #qualitytime

Played another amazing @garphillgames game this week following my play of Hadrians Wall a few days ago. Paladins of the West Kingdom is one of my favourite worker placement games. The solo mode is amazing with so much depth and a very smooth running ai. Managed a win last night. #boardgames

Had a great game of Azul Summer Pavilion last night. Managed a narrow win. This is such a good variation on the original game. I love the little twists added here like wild tiles and the ability to earn bonus tiles.

Some more #draftosaurus with my daughter. This is one of her favourite games. Great intro to drafting games for kids and actually adults too! Also little wooden dinosaurs are cool, right?
