I had a blast hanging out with Lincoln, Nikki, Scott, and Ross today over on BoardGameGeekTV. We played Hues and Cues during a live Game Night! episode and it was a lot of fun. There were a lot of laughs and a lot of food talk, which made me hungry by the end of the show. I’m looking forward to joining the BGG crew again for a game. On a full stomach, of course.
(I’m not sure what’s going on with Twitch’s embed below, so here’s a link to the replay)
Today was a day of reflection, as protests continued worldwide. If you’re looking to help, please visit this page.
The upcoming Color It! from HABA is a relaxing a roll-and-color game for the whole family. Our pug Bruno made a guest appearance in yesterday’s Facebook Live at Five play-through!
I did a live chat with Emma Larkins, the designer of Abandon All Artichokes, over on Instagram (replay below). It was fun learning about the development of her family-style deck-building game. And tonight I’m playing Abandon All Artichokes with my family as we continue our Facebook Live at Five series of gaming streams.
I didn’t expect to live stream a game every day for 31 days straight. Then again, I didn’t expect a pandemic to change the world seemingly overnight.
Thanks to my family for live streaming with me since March 18th. Every day at 5pm Pacific we went Live at Five and played a different game on Facebook Live. Here’s the one we did tonight for On Tour, which you can play along with if you have your own score sheet (you can download one here). We did this as a way to stay connected with our family and friends, and as an added bonus it gave all of us a nice bit of structure to our daily lives as we got through the first month of the Stay at Home order.
We’re taking a break this weekend, but we’re not done. Season two of our Live at Five live streams begins on Monday!
My stepdaughter and I played Succulent over on the Renegade Game Studios Twitch channel the other night! Check out the replay below.
Thanks to John Zinser, Todd C Rowland, and Alderac Entertainment Group for having me on today’s game of Tiny Towns! I had a great time playing with everybody and it’s nice to see AEG hosting daily games like this. You can watch the replay below and try to outscore today’s winner (I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s a tough score to beat.
I said it in my Facebook post this morning, but I’d like to reiterate it here: I’m honored to be a part of the American Tabletop Awards committee. Over the last year we discussed lots of games, finally narrowing down our choices in the four categories before we had our winners. The board game industry continues to put out a lot of quality games and these 20 games (four winners, eight recommended, eight nominated) are the best of the best.
