@PangeaBG In Candyland with two players, put the ice cream cone third in the deck, a purple fifth, and a double purple seventh. Child goes first. Both players win!

@CultCardboard It would be so much better if it said “Keep this tile safe”

@kovraystudios Same side??? Of a table??? On @playingcardsio everyone looks at the game from the same viewpoint. That’s as close as I get to sharing a side of a table.

@Pandasaurusgame @FridayKnightGms BGA and https://t.co/UnaKMwdAci

@BusyDadsGaming So . . . would you rather have a big box that will neatly hold all the small games (preferably while displaying them)? Or just branded larger boxes to hold each small box individually?

@lidmanjgames Lost Cities is my current obsession. Playing a few games a day on @BoardGameArena (not getting any better though), so I will definitely have to check out all these recommendations. Thanks!

[Colin Wright @Colin_Bids_One]

Looking for some new games that work well with two players. Can anyone recommend a good pair of games--like maybe one classic everyone should own, and one new game with some buzz?

[Colin Wright @Colin_Bids_One]

@TheBoardMole Thanks! This will push me to finally get in some games of 7 Wonders Duel on @BoardGameArena. Been meaning to do that. Watergate also looks pretty great.

@werenotwizards If you’re worried about consumers getting a false impression of some kind of affiliation, you may want to think about any trademark rights you might have.

@PanikGames Your successes are your own. Everything else is the fault of those who raised you.

[Colin Wright @Colin_Bids_One]

@425suzanne As the industry grows, I think this will start happening. Copy cats will re-theme successful games with trendy themes or popular brands.

Our 9 year old son just invented a new holiday called “It’s Okay Day”, which is a day about everyone being really nice to each other 😍. We’re going to start celebrating this new holiday on 1/24, so join us!

@jameystegmaier I was so close to breaking my bullet chess habit on https://t.co/rFhRyOgwtS. This is my ELO progress over time. Seems I started watching The Queen’s Gambit around . . . hmm . . . November 8.

[Colin Wright @Colin_Bids_One]

@dastardlydesco Nah. Just go back to Civ . . . Again.

@RailsOnBoards @Captaintobs https://t.co/UnaKMwdAci by a mile.
Tabletop Simulator is awesome for simulating the experience of playing with physical pieces-probably important when testing a physical game.
But the web-based, user-friendly format of https://t.co/UnaKMwdAci is way better for actual game play.

Very stale fortune cookie. Must have been from last year.

[Colin Wright @Colin_Bids_One]

@dastardlydesco I’d expect more from Jelly Belly. What is “beer flavor?” Do they have one called “juice?”

[Colin Wright @Colin_Bids_One]

@jerryyeti Mostly very light stuff. I’ve played #LostCities about 100 times, which is where I’m noticing steeper competition. Have yet to get into a serious game.

[Colin Wright @Colin_Bids_One]

Has the number of players on https://t.co/fDWBJswcsH been steadily rising? I feel like the competition has gotten a lot better in the past week or two. #boardgames

@FridayKnightGms @gamenightgods Agreed. Lily looks like a speedcuber. Got any fast punk in that stack of vinyl for inspiration?
