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)

@unfringedthings Thanks Chris!! 🥰

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 🤩

[Ginger Fox Games @GingerFox_UK]

If you've played Don't Be A Dik Dik, Calm Your Tits, and Giant Beaver! Tiny Ass!, then get ready to play Hands Off My Pecker! It's fun, it's fast-paced and it's sure to liven up any games night you've got planned in the future! Coming VERY soon...🤩 #cardgames #gamesnight

@BoxedMeeples @PlaidHatGames @GrndGmrsGld @AdamsAppleGames @EagleGryphon @AportaGames @BoardAndDice @ArcaneWonders @MindclashG Ah not the exact same one but I’ll look out for you in the airport all the same :D

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

@BoxedMeeples @PlaidHatGames @GrndGmrsGld @AdamsAppleGames @EagleGryphon @AportaGames @BoardAndDice @ArcaneWonders @MindclashG Like 9am-ish from Heathrow! Come hunt us down for a pre-con game if you’re there. And there all weekend too so plenty of time :D

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

@BoxedMeeples @PlaidHatGames @GrndGmrsGld @AdamsAppleGames @EagleGryphon @AportaGames @BoardAndDice @ArcaneWonders @MindclashG Yeah my first one! Neil and I will be flying up on the Thurs! Are you working all weekend or will you get to explore?

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

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

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

@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 😂

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

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

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

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

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?

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

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

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

@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!

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

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?

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

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

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

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!

[Matt Hoather @MattHoather]

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