The Martians have landed!🎲🐮🐔🛸👽 @calliopegames.bsky.social has reprinted @scottalmes.bsky.social 1st game!🎉 Now you can have it on your table, not just on BGA! Available on publisher's website now! #boardgames

New cover art for Martian Dice, re-released by Calliope Games. It's a very small box game. Just a box of 13 dice and a rulebook.

The new dice art for Martian Dice. The images are not just colored, but etched into the dice. Human (blue), chicken (yellow), cow (white), tanks (red) death rays (green). Since you're playing as Martians, death rays & earthlings are what you want. On the 6-sided dice there's 2 death rays (opposite sides of the dice) and 1 of everything else. 13 dice.

‪Still working on that timeline, but I had to take a break to share photos of the stunning Tsuro edition I received from @calliopegames.bsky.social A‬ Kickstarter I backed a couple years ago. Now THIS is premium and totally worth the wait.

You don't know what you don't know, y'know?

A little #throwback to before Team Calliope knew what the future had in store! (Spoiler alert: a lot of board games)

A photo of Nicki as a child. She is laying on tile floor and smiling, wearing a bright pink feather boa, a white shirt, lavender pants, and hiking boots. There is white text with a black border near the middle of the photo which reads "Our Art Director before her files looked like RFIGB_Red_Box Cover_12v4_Final_FINALFINAL"

A photo of Chris as a child. He is standing in front of a picnic table wearing a Mickey Mouse t-shirt and an empty cardboard box with the face cut out on his head. There is white text with a black border in the bottom left corner which reads "Our Director of Fun before he ever had to re-explain a rule because someone was on their phone the first time"

A photo of Michele as a child. She is smiling and posing for her kindergarten picture, wearing a frilly white dress with a yellow ribbon around her waist. There is white text with a black border near the middle of the photo which reads "Our VP before she had to be on a first-name basis with QuickBooks support"

if you don't SWOOOOSHHH your dragons along their path as they fly, did you even play? 🐉

Tsuro

It's quick, simple, fun, and doing the swooshy noises when you line up a series of tiles is satisfying~ Especially when you survive!

A tsuro game board with 2 turns already played. A grid with a stylized Phoenix behind it is the art in the board; 2 tiles have been placed on each side, one touching the edge of the board and the second touching the first tile. Each tile has somewhat squiggly lines connecting 2 points on each side with equidistant points on one of the other sides.
A colored token is at the edge of 4 of the tiles, at the endpoint of one of the lines that started on the edge of the board.
There are facedown tiles with the name of the game shown on the back, the players' hands, 2 at each side of the board.

Friday night #boardgames action with #Tsuro: Phoenix Rising.

We played with the Kickstarter-exclusive Twilight Portal expansion, adding a bit more intrigue in the quest for 7 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

♟️🎲 Today was a belated #friendsgiving. My RPG group likes to hold this event & invite all players to bring a plus one for #boardgames & food. It's a big enough group to split up for multiple games. #Tsuro kicked off the event. I had the chance to introduce #Splendor to someone new.
