No cheating! Does your board game shelf pass this version of the Bechdel Test? That is, do you have 2 adjacent board games with non cis-male designers? (1/3)

@GingerFox_UK @UKGamesExpo Great to see you all too! 🥰

Always great to see @MattHoather at @UKGamesExpo! #ukge #ukgamesexpo

@MattHoather Amazing! It looks fantastic!

I’m breaking my relatively non-existent X presence recently with some super exciting news. My reaction based party game ‘Hands off my Pecker’ is due to arrive in stores soon! Super excited to see it in the wild 🤩

@BoxedMeeples Congratulations again!!! Have an amazing honeymoon ❤️

We just got MARRIED!! I surprise Julian with videos from many of our friends in the boardgame community - they have kindly shared tips on marriage and games to play with your loved one! Check it out ... youtu.be/XzPQQaru_Iw?si… @PaulaDeming @Tablenauts @ThinkerThemer

@4ChitsNGiggles Sea Salt and Paper is my fave small box game. Scout and Startups are probably my favourite of the oink range. Forks and Vegetable Stock are also great. Or in hindsight maybe I’m just obsessed with food games 😂

I know it's waaay too early 😅 but what do you consider a great stocking filler game? Size and price are both important factors here! My vote would have to be most games by Button Shy, alongside the Unlock Short Adventures but keen to hear your thoughts!

@LaurieJBlake @SDRgames_studio @trollsnrerolls @sirthecos Ooh Everdell, Chai, and Beer and Bread always gave me autumnal vibes!

@SDRgames_studio 1. Fungi - foraging for mushrooms, a definite autumn treat! 2. Everdell - all about preparing for winter, def got those autumn vibes 3. Canvas - not really autumnal but very relaxed and warm feeling. @MattHoather @trollsnrerolls @sirthecos You guys have good taste, what's yours?

Imagine this... It's October and the wind and rain are howling outside! You sit indoors with your favourite people, a nice warm cup of something delicious, enough blankets to build a fort, and three games to pass the evening. Which autumnal games are you picking? 🥮🍂🍁⛈️

@CakeofDoomGame @LederGames Haha thanks! I do like a good tile/card photo 😍 and we’ll have to play sometime 🥰

@MattHoather @LederGames I've not played this before and now I'm curious to try... On an unrelated note, you take really nice pics of games!

Ahoy is one of the more accessible asymmetric games I’ve played, and I managed to get it to the table with four new players reasonably easily - which is a great feat for this genre of game! Keen to try it again soon to see how I can do better! Do you play many asymmetric games?

@AntscherlG @LederGames Oh yeah 2 player asymmetric games work so well :)

@MattHoather @LederGames Love asymmetric games but don’t get them to table as much as would like (!) - Netrunner and Unmatched 2 of my personal faves!

@chessandpoker @BoardGameHappy @oinkgms @OnemoregameJpn Haha I thought I’d be the same but I find something quite therapeutic getting rid of the cards that break the sets!

@BoardGameHappy @MattHoather @oinkgms @OnemoregameJpn These are beautiful 😍😍😍 I'd say Deep Sea Adventure and it's not even close, but that's probably the only game of theirs I've ever played 😆 I know everyone says that Scout is amazing but I can't get over the fact that you can't rearrange your hand. It breaks my fidgety brain

It’s been a while since I posted a board game card mosaic, and what better example than Scout! Such a clever small box game from @oinkgms. Which is your favourite Oink title?

@RyanCreedon3 Definitely the glass beads, there’s something so alluring about them 😂

@MattHoather I have no idea what's going on in that game, and yet I want to play it. Why

Had a great time at the Playfest London event. Played some great games in development and got to test a new game I’ve started designing about racing raindrops which worked surprisingly well!

@john_sherman_ Yeah it was a busy day! Hope your playtesting went well ☺️
