Amid the acceleration of craziness, we have also taken the decision to cancel our weekly Thursday #boardgamenights at The Bennet Arms pub, too. If and when things change, we’ll let you know! Stay safe and happy gaming, y’all, Tom x 😢
Are there any games out there that you’ve waited YEARS to finally play? #📷 @buryboardgames I played Suburbia (beziergames) last night for the first time in shufflecafe. What a delight!
@Helvetiq@coiledspring Thanks for the clarification! That’s a really interesting twist; so it can become a benefit (after, say, losing one card earlier). I’m writing a How To Play… Bandida guide for @ZatuGames and I’ll be sure to include this rule. Thanks again! 😃
Hi @Helvetiq! (And @coiledspring) Bandida question: if I play the Broken Tool, I play my whole hand, then draw 3x cards. This cancels out any +1 hand size I might have via a Backpack. Does it therefore increase your hand size of you’ve fallen foul of the -1 Alarm? Thank you!
@MrMoo28@burntislandgm@ZatuGames Ha, no, nothing to do with The Hobbit. In fact, considering its origins, it might be great interest to you, since you’re a fan of all thing Norwegian: https://t.co/LzyrT7fn3S
🏆GAME OF THE MONTH!🏆 For me, In The Hall Of The Mountain King by @burntislandgm takes the gong. It’s a cracking pick-up-and-deliver game all about trolls, statues, and making it rain resources. I sung its praises on the @ZatuGames blog: 🏔👑 https://t.co/0qbTFBsBcE
Love #Carcassonne? Want to beef it up a little? Good news: there’s expansions galore for it! The first one I’d recommend is Inns & Cathedrals (also by @Zmangames_). I’ve written a handy How To Teach/Learn guide for it over on @ZatuGames… #bigmeeple

My review of Tybor the Builder by @LookoutSpiele won ‘Blog of the Month’ at @ZatuGames! It’s a card-drafting game by @AlexxPfister, with multi-purpose cards. Grab your hammer, your saw and your mug of tea, and have a read! https://t.co/gHJFh0YXPG
@MrMoo28@games_delicious I’ve been close to buying Underwater Cities recently! Thanks for letting me know about this one, I have a soft spot for Prague, so this sounds great!
@ZatuGames@AsmodeeUK As a kid and still today, I’m fascinated by the pyramids of Giza. (That’s amplified by the fact I’ve recently finished playing @Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed: Origins!)
Ora & Labora, by Uwe Rosenberg (@LookoutSpiele). I tried the solo variant out and it was brilliant! Took my time learning all the building cards; a lovely way to spend a summer evening. Here’s my final landscape, plus the Neutral Player’s 2x5 landscape. #sologaming#lookoutspiele
Took a while to punch out Ora et Labora (@LookoutSpiele), but I got there in the end! I’m delighted all the (450) cardboard chits fit into one of my plastic ‘hobby boxes’. Should save lots of time for set-up/pack-down. Next task: read and digest the rule book! #boardgamegeek#bgg
