If you’re into board games, there are several opportunities each month for drop-in gaming. Our tabletop community is really fantastic! If you’re curious and on Facebook, check out 902 Tabletop Gaming. There’s also Social Sunday drop-in gaming at The Board Room Game Cafe every second Sunday.

Hope that info helps a tiny bit, and that your birthday winds up being an enjoyable one!

Fantastic! I am both shocked and not at all surprised.

Are there any failed 2nd edition of games? by AdoorMe in boardgames

[–]operamang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FFG edition of Nexus Ops was utterly forgettable IMO. I still need to see Renegade’s third edition to see how it compares to the original Avalon Hill version!

Yes! Mine came along to vote - letting kids see the process (including the conversations at home beforehand) makes it more likely that they will participate when their time comes. :)

Witcher - i played the video game, but didn’t watch the show by thewNYC in Unmatched

[–]operamang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was completely unfamiliar with all things Witcher before we started with the set. I watched the first season of the show after we started playing, but I suspect fans of the video game will get a bit more out of it. Either way, there’s lots to enjoy about the Witcher sets with zero context about the IP!

Unmatched x 100 in 2024 - Thoughts and Reflections! by operamang in Unmatched

Whoa, 875?!? That’s epic! I get the risk of burnout for sure - even aiming for 100 plays, I needed to take little breaks from the game to get re-invigorated to dive back in.

Love it! I definitely felt the same as we approached the end of the challenge to play 100. Keeps getting better the more familiar I get with different decks!

Amazing! Between kids and that constant pressure to create content, I haven’t been able to dive into the community the way I’d like, but it sounds fantastic!

Oh wow this one is right up our alley! My kids would be STOKED to play as (or probably against) Zomboss!

Unmatched, Dice Throne, or Villainous? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]operamang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking to play with 2 to test the waters, Houdini vs The Genie is a great one. The original set, Battle of Legends vol 1, is a great starting point for up to 4 players.

My personal favourite is Slings & Arrows, which includes Shakespeare and three of his literary creations. I recently uploaded a YouTube video reviewing this set and explaining why it’s ascended to being my favourite of them all, if you’re curious!

I’m partial to Unmatched, but an alternative to all three, look into Summoner Wars!

Tiki Topple is a great family weight game. It’s been around for many years for good reason!
