The Dice Compendium 2 - The Smart Dice Display, via @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/glowc… This is amazing! I've followed this project from when it was just a spark of an idea. So great to see it become a reality!

@gengelstein It's entertaining AND educational 😁

The Universe Explained with a Cookie is just a few weeks away! I am pleased to present this excerpt to give you the flavor (pun intended) of the book. Enjoy! gametek.substack.com/p/the-universe…

I was happy to reach 100 different games for the year. Also a nice number of new-to-me games 😁

My top plays for 2023. They were largely influenced by who was available at the time, but still a good selection.

@TomCox87 @brdgamebarrage Like picking your favourite child 😂 1. Ra 2. High Society 3. Equinox 4. The Quest for El Dorado 5. Taj Mahal I'm yet to play Modern Art 😮

Gotta love Springtime in Melbourne!

I'm so excited to demo my new card game, TreeTops, at @PAXAus next weekend. I'll be in Tabletop Collaboratory all day Saturday on table 1, but I'll be around for all 3 days. Come and say hi! #boardgames #PAXAus

@ArkAngel_Games Yes please 🙂

Just 4 weeks left until @PAXAus ! I'll be running demos of my latest card game "TreeTops" at Incubator. All will be welcome at my table. 🏳️‍🌈 #boardgames

@TomCox87 @ArkAngel_Games I can't wait to see what you've come up with!

@TomCox87 6 games of Lost Ruins of Arnak is impressive. How are you finding it after multiple plays?

@sedjtroll Azul. The number of tiles taken depends on which pile/colour you choose. The groupings also change as the draft goes on.

I can't think of any offhand, but I'm sure there are board games where you draft things, and while each player gets 1 "lot," the amount of stuff in each lot could be different... Can you name such a game?

@TableTopSauce The bases sound cool... and one of the party owns a laser cutting business 🙂 I find the loot deck a real pain to put together. Can't really afford the app, so I wrote a little webpage to handle creating and drawing loot cards.

@GleesonGames Well of course there’s the app, which I recommend for solo but with the two of us we are ok with doing the admin. I’d love to get those bases that have slots for status effects.

Frostybutts time

@TableTopSauce I'll definitely try it in my next game. Any more Frost-hacks to share? 🙂

@GleesonGames It’s so much better than those little fiddlyass tokens!

@boardgamesjames We've always been a 1 car family, but it can be tricky to manage occasionally. Biggest issue is kids activities, so we try to car-pool with other families. Group chat to organise the drive each week. It actually frees up some of your time, so worthwhile anyway.

@MeepleU They actually freeze quite well, so you can have them when not in season.

What would you do with this many chillies? 🌶️😜. Just harvested from the backyard. 🙏 Thank you

@WeirdGiraffes 1000 is the sweet spot. 500 is good to knock out in a couple of hours. I have a few 1500 which are also good, but need to tackle them periodically over several days.

If you were to buy a puzzle, how many pieces would it be?

Based on my totally accurate and thorough records (best guess) I am sitting on 249 different games played. What is number 250 going to be? #boardgames

@TomCox87 Looking forward to the latest iteration!
