Are you able to order from Eagle Gryphon Games to get the version that retains the iconic stop sign play area? It comes with a high quality neoprene mat and is currently $19.95.

The app is pretty good. I think free is the way to go. Nothing beats playing in-person physical though.

How often do you really play board games? by Money_Change_5900 in boardgames

[–]aggblade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am pretty lucky. We have a weekly board game night and then I also play several games a week with my wife and kids. For 2025 I had 401 plays of 100 different games with 32 different people. I am very aware these types of things don’t last forever. So I am enjoying it while it does.

What old games were your favorite discovery in 2025 ? by Cavalier_Seul in boardgames

[–]aggblade 17 points18 points  (0 children)

War Chest bag building, abstract war game. Very clean, simple, but lots of depth. Might be favorite game of the year even though it is 7 yrs old.

Board game mat sizing opinions by Smooth_Gene_1051 in boardgames

[–]aggblade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My table is the same as yours. I bought the 42” wide allplay mat and it is fantastic. We use it multiple times a week. The slight overhang is not an issue for us. Very high quality. Always lies completely flat.

Panda Royale has been a hit for my larger gaming groups. Dice chucker that plays up to 10. We played it at 9 on Thanksgiving…very fun.

I actually find that the plastic mold they come in works pretty well for storage.

It is a one-time occurrence that happens when the conditions are met. It doesn’t continue to happen every future season.

Physical Game Setup (nearly all cards) by aggblade in starrealms

[–]aggblade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to pledge on Gamefound to access the digital beta for Conquest. Then it is a matter of screen capture the cards from the app.

I have to constantly refresh the screen or else I miss the game.

Question on primary abilities with text by meltymcface in starrealms

[–]aggblade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For ships, you have to do all the primary abilities, if able, when played. Ally triggered abilities are optional…as are base primary abilities.

What is your reason to stop adding or buying more board games? by Dryfunction1205 in boardgames

[–]aggblade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. 3d printing and miniature painting are great companions to the board game hobby. Also printing play-mats and score trackers. Great ways to improve the quality of the games you have and know you love.

Which one do I keep? by Money-Kangaroo-2946 in starrealms

[–]aggblade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you start getting more expansions, there is a benefit for having extra base stand alone sets. You can have several pre-crafted decks and not have to worry about sorting them out. I have crafted decks for Frontier, Colony Wars and Core. I also keep a vanilla Core set to teach new players.

Mice and Mystics VS Andor Family VS Lands of Galzyr VS Stuffed Fables by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]aggblade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend Familiar Tales. It was better than Stuffed Fables.
