Board Game Gateway is an Australian based Podcast about getting people into the amazing world of Board Games.
✨ STARDEW VALLEY ✨
Playing this beautiful, cosy co-op game my son (and Oscar the cavoodle). We threw in a few house rules to make the game a little less punishing and a bit more relaxing - and we had a great time. A must-play for fans of the video game! #stardewvalleyboardgame #stardewvalley

🐠 FINSPAN 🐡

Unboxed and played this gorgeous game today with my son.

Love the tweaks on the familiar Wingspan mechanics, such as hatching eggs into young and forming schools of fish by moving the young around on the board.

Kudos to @stonemaiergames.com for a great addition to the "span" family.

Co-op or Competitive? 🎲

Do you love teaming up like in Spirit Island or battling it out like in Innovation?

We dive into the great debate on the latest episode of the Board Game Gateway podcast! 🎙️

👇 Tell us which style you prefer!

Influencing the nobles whilst repairing Lisbon. #Lisboa is such an interesting game that requires you to balance many things whilst timing your actions. I really enjoyed my time with it, not sure where I rate it among the other Lacerda Games though.

Learning how to play Spirit Island. Love the theme and mechanics so far, but I got destroyed in my first game! 😰

Excited to talk about Tinderblox - it’s the cutest Jenga in the world’s smallest package. So much fun in such a small box.

I’m sure they made those tweezers intentionally a bit shit to make the game unpredictably tense and fun!

Board game shopping in Tokyo 🇯🇵 and the small haul - a Japanese version of Knizia’s “No Mercy” and the adorably tiny Tinderblox.

I had no idea Knizia had such a big presence in Japan, so many of his games here!

What board games have you bought while shopping overseas?

God, I love #3dprinting. Using an iPhone rig to help get those b-roll shots and hopefully, in the future, to get those interview shots.

@neeber.bsky.social is getting ready for his next Across the Table #boardgamereview #boardgames

My favourite bird 🐦 fact of the day - “Turkey vultures can projectile vomit to defend themselves” 🤮🤣

Played the supremely epic War of the Ring today.

4.5 hours of tension, culminating in the shadow army rushing all the Nazgûl to Rivendell for the final battle.

Meanwhile, Sam and Frodo were one step away from the crack of Mount Doom before tragically being overcome by the corruption of the ring.

Playing the delightful Wilmot’s Warehouse with the Board Game Gateway crew today.

Look out for this as our featured game in an upcoming episode of the podcast!

CanCon Game #4 - City of Pig Shoulders

Take an 18xx game, remove the choo choo’s and add a worker placement phase that requires you to pay the other companys to use their actions!!

I’ve heard mixed things. I LOVED IT.

Great cap to day #1

Big month of local meet ups and CanCon. A lot of great games, new games and fun hours.

City of Big Shoulders was a stand out as well as Mistborn. I am a sucker for heavy economic games!!

CanCon Game #3 -Stationfall

We played this with was too many people, but i can’t deny that there was something here. Wasn’t a great first experience but i want to go again.

I love SS13 so the stories are just as good.

CanCon Game #2
Hansa Teutonica 4p

An absolute classic and was a tight contest. Less than 90 mins, small action space but decision space is so wide!!!

No wonder it’s been in my top 10 for years. So good.

CanCon 2025 - Game #1 incoming!

#Mistborn the deckbuilding game. The thematic tie ins are fantastic. Easy to pick up, plays in under an hour and i want to play again.

A great start to the weekend

Attended Sydneys No-Ship Auction tonight. Another chaotic, awesome and amazing community event! A great way to cycle games you don’t play for games you want to!!! #boardgames

2 games of Tigris & Euphrates played last night. Games always come down to the wire. First game was 90 minutes (after new player teach) but the second one was down in 45 minutes.

An absolute classic!!!

Played 4 new games at our Local Board Game Meet up this evening.

Big Shot, World Wonders, Whirling Witchcraft and Triangulate.

Auction, Engine Building, Polyomino Drafting and Abstract Strategy. Such a diverse range of games. What a hobby.

Wow, safe to say that our Top 5 Family Board Games episode has been a hit compared to our others.

Next episode up is our top 10 games for 2024. Keen to release that one!

We started our channel in May of 2022. We had no idea of what we wanted from it other than an outlet to talk games and maybe get some free games to help bolster our collections.

Given how niche Board Game content is 250 subscribers seemed so far away. 3 days ago we passed that milestone.

Honestly it has been a slow month for games. But instead of a lot of little games I got to play some bigger games.

Excited for the holidays and some time to play more.

We are also admins for this group and we love bringing the joy of this hobby to people in our community.

More games to be today.

Ever seen 3d Flamme Rouge? At our last game day, patron Peter brought his copy for a great 8 player experience.

You wouldn’t think so, but it brought an extra level to the game. AMAZING!!
