Cartagena — Side-by-Slide Board Game Comparison 👥

✇Board Gems
Von: Board Gems
13. Oktober 2025 um 19:15

💾

Countless copies of the classic Colovini Cartagena! In this video I compare side-by-slide, with commentary, the 2000, 2006, 2017 and 2023 editions. (I think I said 2025 in the video, apologies.)


Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!

Designer Diary: How I designed my own ABSTRACT STRATEGY game, Surikata

✇Adam in Wales - Board Game Design
Von: Adam in Wales - Board Game Design
13. Oktober 2025 um 17:00

💾

Surikata is published by Gerhard Spiel & Design.
Available to purchase from:
https://www.spielewerkstatt.eu/gb/

Game Design: Adam Porter

The Meerkat Game - 1, 2, 3, What can you see?

Place the termite mounds on the empty gameboard. The first playing piece also brings the meerkat into the game:from its position it always looks horizontally and vertically in all four directions - but never over one of the termite mounds!

You cannot place pieces on the spaces it can see! However, a termite mound blocks its line of view and you can place pieces on the spaces behind it.

The playing pieces are placed alternately, the gameboard becomes busier and busier. With each turn the meerkat moves to a new position and the lines of view shift accordingly.

In Surikata, the aim is to place your own pieces strategically in order to block the spaces your opponent needs.

Cat in 8 Review | Strategic Chaos in a Tile-Laying Board Game

✇Brains On Games
Von: Brains On Games
06. Oktober 2025 um 18:00

💾

Cats, chaos, and clever strategy collide in Cat in 8 from Ghetti Games! 🐾 In this board game, players battle to line up 8 cats in a row while navigating shifting tiles and unpredictable Chaos Cards like Cat Fights, Cat ‘Nados, and Zoomies.

In this review, I’ll cover:
• How the game plays (tile-laying, tokens, and chaos twists)
• Victory conditions and scoring
• The unique mix of strategy and silly fun
• Skills kids and families practice while playing

If you enjoy chaotic strategy games, abstract puzzles, or just love cats, this one might be for you.

More info here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ghettigames/cat-in-8-the-board-game-of-cute-cats-and-crazy-chaos?ref=duiyfm

👉 Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried Cat in 8 — would your cats approve of this game?

Battlegroup Clash Baltics - Interview and Game Preview with designer James Buckley

✇Homo Ludens
Von: Homo Ludens
04. Oktober 2025 um 12:31

💾

I’m joined by designer (and friend of the show) James Buckley for an interview and live demo of Battlegroup Clash: Baltics—a 2–6 player tactical land warfare game adapted from a training tool used by the British Army for junior officers. Set in Estonia amid a near-future Russian invasion, the game pits reinforced-battalion-sized forces (units at platoon/section scale) across six scenarios and multiple play modes (Basic, Standard, Advanced) for 2–3 hours of modern combined-arms decision-making.

We’ll talk design goals and then jump into play, highlighting the system’s distinctive features: pre-game Orders drafting that shapes tempo and initiative; drones and electronic warfare (UAS recon, FPV strikes, jamming, SIGINT); and real-world maps derived from satellite imagery (no hexes—read the ground like a real ops map). If you’re curious how contemporary tactics translate to the tabletop, this is a great entry point.

Money — How to Play 🎲 and Is It a Gem? 💎

✇Board Gems
Von: Board Gems
03. Oktober 2025 um 19:15

💾

You know what they say: To make money, you have to spend money. Very true in this quick-playing Reiner Knizia auction card game. You're looking to get money — that's why it's money, after all — but you need to bid with money in hand to get the money cards you want, possibly from other players' bids! Aim to get a lot of as few currencies as possible, and/or sets of matching cards, and some precious metals wouldn't hurt, either.

Money was originally published by Goldsieber in 1999, and had a second edition from Eagle-Gryphon in around 2008. And now, in 2025, Allplay has released a third edition in their small square box line.
