A little holiday Gamesmas story for you as we near Christmas Eve. You better watch out: the SHELF ELF is coming to town. (not to be confusing with the Elf on the Shelf, of course. Totally different and unrelated in every way.) #boardgames #christmas

The Bottle Imp — Soporific Storytime 📖

✇Board Gems

💾

In this Very Special Episode of Board Gems, I read aloud the short story of The Bottle Imp, written by Robert Louis Stevenson and adapted into a card game by Günter Cornett.

My pronunciations are not always great, as I am not familiar with the Hawaiian language. For example I noticed the way I say "Haole" drifted over the course of the reading. Apologies!

I hope this is enjoyable for some people, if for no better purpose than as a sleeping aid.


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

Ducks in a Row Review | Build Your Row, Sabotage the Shared Pond

✇Brains On Games

Build your row. Guard your pond. Politely ruin everyone else’s plans. 🦆💥

Ducks in a Row is a clever card game where you’re balancing ducks between your personal row and a shared pond, trying to score big while other players keep sticking their beaks into your business. It’s fast, interactive, and just the right amount of “I can’t believe you did that” for game night.

In this review, I’ll cover:
• How the row + shared pond scoring tension works
• The kind of player interaction (read: sabotage) you should expect
• Who this game is best for (and who might waddle away mad)

Game Info
2–6 players | ~40 minutes | Ages 14+

The Game That Got Me Into Solo Board Gaming | Review

✇All You Can Board
Von: All You Can Board

💾

Civolution is a much-talked about heavy euro game, but it also has a solo mode that I've spent the last few months diving into a dozen times. Is it worth the effort to set up each time? Is the game really that complex? Is this the game that will get me into solo board gaming in a big way? Watch the video for my full thoughts.

Over time we've grown to highly value accessibility in board gaming - any game that helps a new person discover this wonderful hobby is a winner in our eyes. These ten were some of our most played games of the year... they don't take much to teach and get to the table, and they punch above their weight in delivering on FUN. We love them!

We hope you find some gems in this list! Thanks for watching and enjoy the holiday season! A&M

Thanks for stopping by! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
