I just came back to grab a few personal belongings, but if you're looking for me I'll be over here: bsky.app/profile/nakedc…

I purchased a boardgame table from McFadden! mcfaddentables.ca. It's been 1 year since I had a functioning game room. I'm excited.

@RestorationGame @boardgamebliss Amazeballs!

@NakedCardboard @boardgamebliss I believe that is correct.

@EpicHistoryTV I mostly liked Fury and Midway, and I have a soft spot for Corelli. Pearl Harbor was atrocious though.

What is the most disappointing World War 2 film of the last 25 years?

Hey @WyrmwoodGaming - I'm looking at your modular table to fill my new gaming room. Your holiday promos look terrific, and I'd love to pick up the wide rustic walnut. Do you have any deals for boardgame media?

@TadenacGames Are you all settled in? My flood renovations are done and I'm finally putting things together in the game room again. Still looking for a game table, but other than that I'm ready to go. You can find a lot of us over on Bluesky now... bsky.app/profile/nakedc…

The move is finished and we’re back online for sales. We hope to start ordering new stock next week.

My quest for a replacement table continues! I'm hoping to buy something Canadian-made to replace the table we lost in the flood. I've reached out to @WheatlandWoodw1, Western Pride Woodwork, and @McFadden_Tables. Any others I should contact?

@AllplayHQ Oh... disappointed in Canada - but thanks for responding. I'm still thinking about your Jasper for my game room.

@NakedCardboard Next up is Game deals on Friday and free shipping on jasper shelves for US only on Monday.

Hey @AllplayHQ - do you think the Jasper table might get the Black Friday treatment this week?

Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour is in Toronto for the next week, and tonight is her first show. It's a MAD HOUSE downtown. So much glitter. So many sequins. #TayDayTO

@DiceTowerChris I really like the art on the cards - and as a recent convert to trick-taking, I've got my great eye trained on this one.

The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game. I guess it's based on this book called Jurassic Park or something.

On July 16, our basement flooded. Luckily only a small handful of boardgames were damaged, but it was a long road to recovery. This week we finally finished the renovations, and our stuff came home from storage! Now for new shelves, a new table, and... the unpackening. Ugh.

I tracked down a copy of Schadenfreude, which is a delightful trick-taking game where the player with the second highest card wins.

@cwmore56 One of the things I can't get over is that these were written in the 60's & 70's, but they feel like they were written by an old sailor in the early 1900's. I've only read the first one, but it felt so authentic.

I’ve been completely obsessed since I started this series in July. Six books down so far (first one out on loan) and fourteen to go. If you haven’t done so, please pick up a Patrick O’Brian book so that I can have somebody to talk to about this.

Somewhere in the middle is where we always seem to meet.

@Clint_Davey1 Exactly!

Canadians, is this true?

@iain2411 @meepleriot It's a piece of swag designed to look like the Knight's Cross from WWII. The cross is a piece of history, but it's the appropriation of it for marketing purposes that's kinda gauche.

@meepleriot If it's supposed to be an Iron Cross, which it certainly looks like, then it's sort of controversial. However Iron Crosses have been awarded by German states since the early 1800s and it's only since WW2 that people have associated them with Adolf and his ilk. 🤷‍♂️

@ulible @colewehrle My copy just came in. I don't have a table to play it on, at the moment, but when I do...!!!

@EpicHistoryTV About a year ago, when I caught COVID, I binged everything you had on the Napoleonic Wars, while I stickered the blocks in my newly acquired Command & Colors: Napoleonics game. The Italian Campaign was particularly terrific. Thankyou!

You can now watch every Epic History video about the Napoleonic era in chronological order in our new playlist! We recommend breaks but feel free to binge Napoleon’s entire rise and fall, and immerse yourself in one of the most fascinating periods of European history, packed with revolutions, empire-building and battles!
