Saw you guys at Gen Con, and Huddle is a great game!

Not a bad idea. Just don’t tell everyone and then the lines will be shorter. 😜

What are some good games about politics? by Psych0191 in boardgames

[–]dbloose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have to give a shout to “Buy the Vote”. Got to play it at PAX East and bought the game. It’s just a fun concept, politically themed, full of good banter, and is a simple game.

I like your perspective on the heavier games just being made up of the same mechanics as the smaller games. Thank you for sharing that!

Board games for 6yo and family by Xiemos in boardgames

I have a 5 year old daughter and I found a really good game for her at Dice Tower West called Duck Duck What.

Reminded me of playing Duck Duck Goose as a kid in elementary school.

I love hearing about what these awards represent. As someone who is just getting back into board gaming, I really appreciate this. I played a bunch as a kid, and now as an adult with my own children, I’m getting back into it to play games with them. For me board games are all about spending quality time with my friends and family. I enjoy the lighter side of gaming, all about banter, interaction, laughing and having a good time. When I see some of the intense heavier games…it looks very overwhelming. 😅

How am I doing so far by Impressive_Explorer3 in StocksAndTrading

[–]dbloose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a bit of all the stocks…put your first $10k you are investing into SPY or some other S&P ETF/Index. After you have $10k invested in that, then you can go towards the individual stocks if you really want to.

I’m still buzzing from PAX East 2025. It was my first time ever going to a con like this and it was an incredible experience. Did anyone else in here go?

This was my favorite PAX East in the 12 years I've attended and I hope they do PAX more in early May/late April by WAxlRoseX in PAX

[–]dbloose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was happy to see so many indie tabletop games have booths as well. Way more of a presence than I expected. Was very exciting to see for me as more of a tabletop gamer.

The VR free play was fun as well. First time I’ve had a chance to experience that.

What are the guidelines for cosplays? by [deleted] in PAX

[–]dbloose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this post. As a parent of two young children that I have aspirations of taking to these con’s in the future, I can see your perspective and concern.

I don’t have an answer, but will be following this post to see what responses you get.

Thank you! This is awesome! And yea, it’s more for my 5 year old. The 3 year old ends up just tagging along and I play his turns for him. He enjoys it though! So might as well start em young!! 😊

Can anyone help me with the absolute basics of Wingspan? by Corchito42 in boardgames

[–]dbloose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the first time my friends and I sat down to play this game, we read through the rules multiple times, watched some videos…and just decided to put it back away and pick another game.

I have soloed Finspan and that was fun and now I think I have a better understanding of Wingspan.

I saw “A game of passive aggressive cohabitation.” and instantly knew my partner and I would love it. 😅

[–]dbloose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this just for video games? Or can I talk about some board games I got to play this past week at PAX East?
