Check out this fun little teaser I made for our new Sports game collection (bowling, golf, pool). I’ve been playing them for a couple weeks with the kids - perfect for a casual family game night. And the game pieces are super cute. 👍👍

Board Sports is live. 🎳⛳️🎱 We put Bowling, Golf, and Pool on Board so you can settle once and for all who’s best at sports while sitting down. Available to play today at https://t.co/ecw7Y8nmw6

@yashad @BrynnPutnam Omg this is so cool!!!

[Ian Padgham @origiful]

@kevintwohy @boardisfun I’m loving the box and now that I see you did a Bloogs one I realize I’m going to have to make a new bookshelf 😋

Quick! It’s the last day to preorder “The Heist” and get your pieces delivered by launch day.

Do people realize how radical AI is for living abroad? 3 years ago you couldn’t realistically move to France if you weren’t fluent (and even then), simply because bureaucratic paperwork is insane. God forbid you start a business.

Being able to AI-defang admin ended that.
Wild.

In this strategic caper, you’ll use mirrors to redirect security lasers, bag your loot, and plan the perfect escape.

Preorder The Heist today and we’ll ship your piece set in time for our June 30 launch! https://t.co/k6hyMUUIYy

Cool news from @BrynnPutnam about the Series A at @boardisfun (where I’ve been working for almost 3 months 🥳). Plus it looks like I’ve got @biz back in my world! https://t.co/9IUgmbcNi6

[Brynn Putnam @BrynnPutnam]

@kevintwohy That said I think a large part of the challenge is due to the video compression on this app. I intended this clip to be experienced exclusively at IMAX theaters.

[Ian Padgham @origiful]

This is the kind of video I would make every single day if I had the time. It’s weird, it’s silly, it has tons of hidden Easter eggs, and the technical complexity is so completely over the top (like, nobody should ever go this hard on a simple post). This is my jam, peeps. Enjoy!

All a-Board! 🚇

[Ian Padgham @origiful]

@kevintwohy I mean at a certain point is it really that crazy for me to ask that y’all just produce an entirely new game instead of making me double check my post copy?

[Ian Padgham @origiful]

Fun first week story: I was so worried about being too cheeky in this caption that I overlooked the fact that I misspelled Strata as Strada. Then my *real* boss dm’d me and I tried to edit it the copy but it duplicated the post.

So yeah who’s hiring? 😅

[Board @boardisfun]

Boss: When I said we needed a short clip showing we went back to the drawing board and totally rebuilt our Strata game and now the sky is the limit, you knew I wasn't being literal right?
Me: 😬
Boss: Right??
Me:

[Ian Padgham @origiful]

@BrynnPutnam Coolest boss I’ve ever had!

[Ian Padgham @origiful]

@boardisfun In my defense this video had my head in the clouds.

[Brynn Putnam @BrynnPutnam]

Equally important to our Strata updates is @origiful joining Board as our 1st Creative Director. Welcome to the team Ian!

[Ian Padgham @origiful]

My first post at my new job! I’ll be bringing back the Vine magic to @boardisfun with former Twitter amigo @kevinthau
After 13 years of being independent I can’t tell you how exciting it is to be part of a team, building up creative content for an exciting company. Wish me luck!

[Board @boardisfun]

Rolling out some magical STRATA updates:
- house rules
- timer options
- new grids
… and much, much more! A huge thanks to everyone who sent in feature requests and feedback 🫶

I bought my wife an advent calendar from Liberty in London a few years ago and I’m not sure I’ve managed to give her an actual present she likes more ever since 🤦‍♂️
