📢📢📢📢 HONK!!!! 📢📢📢📢 HOW DO

📢📢📢📢 HONK!!!! 📢📢📢📢

HOW DO YOU HONK??? Loudly of course!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

HONK by @sinisterfishgames is a fast playing fun family set collecting game where we are hunting for golden eggies! 🥚

📢 2-5 players
📢 15 mins
📢 Age 5+
📢 @sinisterfishgames

Geese are gaggling and hiding point scoring golden eggies! 🥚

Each turn you can either collect 2 different coloured food cards, or feed a goose.

To feed, you must have the food cards that match the symbols on the goose.

If you do, you can lift that goose from the pile. For every goose you have of that type already in your collection, you get a regular eggie (worth 1 point at the end). If you completely uncover a golden eggie, you also get to take that and its value is kept hidden until end game! 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚

Now you don't have to, but whoever takes a goose in our house also gets to shout HONK!!!!!! - CHECK OUT OUR STORY FOR SOME EXAMPLES hahaha 😆 😂 😄 🤣

Super simple to set up and learn, HONK really tickled our 7 year old @minimeepleuk 😀 😄

Plus, running under 20 mins, it's perfect for shorter attention spans and pre school/pre bedtime game sessions 👍

Huge thanks to @sinisterfishgames for sending us a copy of this game for our thoughts. We aren't paid for our opinions. We just ❤️ sharing games with you all!

Hey hey! It's #wellpairedwednesday started by @ten

Hey hey! It's #wellpairedwednesday started by @tennessee_meeple and this week's theme is 🔥 CANDLE 🔥chosen by @tennessee_meeple

I struggled to think of games that included candles so I bent the rules a little! This is games BY candlelight! because when the power goes out up here, that doesn't stop us playing games! We just crack out the candles and carry on!

🔥 VILLAGE GREEN by @ospreygames
is such a lovely puzzly tableau building game, that even in the dim light of a candle it looks beautiful. The yellow flowers are even trickier to make out in semi darkness, but that just means I get to look at the lovely cards for longer!

🔥PLOTALOT by @moonstonegamesuk is a brilliant set collecting, take that, direct interaction card game where we are farmers trying to grow the biggest and best vegetables on our farms. But with bugs and other beasties about to thwart green fingered efforts and limited space to harvest, beware what rival farmers will do to make sure they win! It's light but strategic, and the artwork is gorgeous (if only you could see it in the candlelight! Swipe to the end for a bonus shot!)

🔥FUNGHI (aka MORELS) by @pegasusspiele is a set collecting, open drafting card game for 2 players where we are trying to collect and cook up delicious mushrooms foraged from the forest floor. But, as in real life, the risk of poisonous toadstools is never far away! Cooking up tasty dishes, or selling stock for sticks that will let you go deeper into the woods, you'll be foraging for points in readiness for end game scoring!

What candlelight inspired games have you got planned for your #wellpairedwednesday of board gaming fun?

ULTRA BIONIC BLASTER from @thamesandkosmosuk @thamesandkosmos @kosmosgamesuk has kept our big and little engineering gamer busy in the best possible way! ✏️📐🪛🔧🔩⚙️🗜🔨✏️📐🪛🔧🔩⚙️🗜🔨

I ❤️ seeing these two work on a project together and this STEM Engineering Kit is right in the centre of their happy place. And when the building is enjoyed as much as the playing, we are definitely onto a winner!

I know as @minimeepleuk gets older he will be able to do more on his own. But for now, seeing the joy in both their faces is absolutely 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

✏️📐🪛🔧🔩⚙️🗜🔨✏️📐🪛🔧🔩⚙️🗜🔨

If @minimeepleuk didn't have it, I reckon it would be topping his Christmas wish list as it makes a cracking gift for a budding engineer like him! Given what a good boy he has been this year, I'd better ask Edward the Elf to tell Santa to hunt out more of these cool kits for him! 😂😂😂

Hey hey! It's ⚙️#mechanismsmonday ⚙️ start

Hey hey! It's ⚙️#mechanismsmonday ⚙️ started by @jim.gamer and this week @boarddad has chosen Racing games 👏

These can include games where racing is just part of it rather than the whole focus.

Many of our games contain a racing (and even a reverse racing!) element, so we had plenty from which to choose.

One great one is 🚀GANYMEDE 🚀 by @sorrywearefrench @hachetteboardgamesuk

🚀Playing exploration corporations looking to colonize new planets, we are racing to be first to launch 4 ships from Planet Ganymede. To get there, we have to travel from Earth to Mars and onto Ganymede using shuttles, and then fill our ships with the right combination of settlers.

🚀It's an excellent light but crunchy, combo-tastic resource management euro style open drafting, set collection game, and once you've got some multiplying actions going on, the momentum sky-rockets! There's even a MOON expansion which adds some extra features like Assistants to help you fill your ships! Definitely a game where the race is on!

And the Ganymede universe doesn't stop here - DEMETER, VARUNA, and now the brilliant GALILEO PROJECT are set in the same space-place too!

Are there any games in your collection with a racing element hat you'd like to share? Pop a picture and share it using the hashtag #mechanismsmonday!

Next week the mechanism is going to be Time Tracks chosen by @boardgiulie

CALICO by @alderaceg @alderacentertainment @senior

CALICO by @alderaceg @alderacentertainment @seniorwatashi @flatoutgames 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

We usually play this awesome tile laying, pattern matching, placement optimisation puzzly game like two scrapping alleycats!

But after an exhausting weekend of house-bashing DIY, we wanted a game we know really well. So out came CALICO and we cosied up with these kitty cats whilst coming up with some purrrfect redevelopment solutions as we were creating our quilts.

And whilst we ❤️❤️❤️ the added brain burn that accompanies hate drafting tiles to thwart each other's efforts, it was actually quite ❤️❤️❤️ to take the pressure off and relax into our game of pattern and colour matching 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Hey hey! It's #sundaymorningsolo game time for me

Hey hey! It's #sundaymorningsolo game time for me and I have turned on the Christmas lights and am sitting down to a game of THREE SISTERS by Motor City Gameworks and Matthew Riddle 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾

I'm in a real roll and write solo gaming mood at the moment - maybe because they are easy to play on our coffee table by the tree.....

👨‍🌾👩‍🌾 Anyhoo....THREE SISTERS is a fantastically crunchy two-sheet roll and write where in solo mode I am up against Farmer Edith. My goal is to grow as many crops in my garden as possible as well as collect point scoring bonuses in other zones like the Shed, Apiary, Fruit beds, and Farmer's Market. Everything I cross off
either gains points directly or is a means to gaining points (e.g. goods which accumulate to give bonus actions which can be used to trigger points), The carrot-astic crunch comes in knowing and deciding what to do for the best - how to trigger the most combo-tastic chain of actions. Because with only 8 rounds, there is never enough time to do everything.👨‍🌾👩‍🌾

👨‍🌾👩‍🌾 Plus, Farmer Edith comes along in solo mode and starts crossing things off on MY sheets making them unavailable to me! Super simple to operate, the D6 picks are prescribed and the solo side of the board tell you exactly what she will be crossing off each turn.

Knowing what Farmer Edith is going to make unavailable to me influences my strategy in a way that doesn't happen in MP mode - in the MP game, nobody would tread my my garden! FE always goes for the golden Apiary dice if she can, and I hate giving up goods bonuses so I'll prevent FE taking the compost/good dice if I can (not always possible!).👨‍🌾👩‍🌾

I don't use the Apiary much as FE targets it a lot and it takes a number of actions to get to the point where it starts paying off. But I'll try it and see next time!

👨‍🌾👩‍🌾 THREE SISTERS is fantastic!👨‍🌾👩‍🌾

Hey hey! It's #saturdaymorningsolo game time and I

Hey hey! It's #saturdaymorningsolo game time and I know we are getting super festive here at the farm but I woke up hungry so thought I would tuck into family friendly 🍬👻GHOSTS LOVE CANDY TOO ROLL & FRIGHT - TRICKY TREATS 🍬👻 by @25thcenturygames

🍬👻 GHOSTS LOVE CANDY TOO - ROLL & FRIGHT is actually a set of 3 super PNP roll and write games set in the same universe as Ghosts Love Candy Too (which I haven't played but looks very cool!!!)

🍬👻 TRICKY TREATS
🍬👻 HAUNT THE BLOCK
🍬👻 BOOGALOO

🍬👻 Each one is slightly different and they vary from super light (Boogaloo) to crunchier (Tricky Treats) and I am starting off with the trickiest of the three.

🍬👻 In TRICKY TREATS you roll 2 D6. One D6 is used for crossing off a box under any kiddo and a circle on the corresponding candy Stash table, and the other has to be used to cross off a "scare" box under a different little candy cruncher. With only 16 rolls, you must gain as many bonuses as possible because going candy-combotastic is the only way you'll get a tasty score by end game!

With each pair of dice in each kiddo's box giving unique one time powers, triple crossings off giving meta table based boo-nuses, as well as the candy Stash clocking up extra moves, you'd think racking up points would be easy! But it's not! Those kiddos scare quickly, and once all the scare circles under a kiddo have been crossed off, you can't steak their candy anymore! Which means no more sweet treats!

🍬👻 I am really ❤️TRICKY TREATS! It's cute artwork definitely hides a fun roll and write with a deliciously light but crunchy flavour! And for just a few pounds, I have two more games to play too! 🍬👻

🍬👻 I haven't played GHOSTS LOVE CANDY TOO so I can't compare the artwork or game play but I'd love to some day! Have you played the original or this roll and fright yet??

As my #soloinspiration, what are you playing solo today @mostly.solo @play_it_solo @soloaza @swordandboardgames @kay_plays_games @dax.thesoloboardgamer @thatsolomeeple

Hey hey! It's #firstimpressionsfriday🎲 time sta

Hey hey! It's #firstimpressionsfriday🎲 time started by the lovely @kay_plays_games and this week it's MY CITY ROLL AND WRITE by @kosmosgamesuk 🌲💒🎲

🌲💒🎲Age 10+
🌲💒🎲 1-6 players
🌲💒🎲 30 mins
🌲💒🎲 A fantastic roll and write adaptation of the terrific tile laying legacy game MY CITY by Reiner Knizia

🎲 Overview: MY CITY ROLL AND WRITE is a scaled down campaign based on the brilliant polyomino tile laying, spatial puzzle legacy game MY CITY. Set over 4 Chapters, each with 3 individual games, you'll be building out your city 12 times. And each time you construct, the building regulations and features increase. Whoever has the most points after 12 games is the winner!

🎲 Gameplay: 🌲💒🎲 You roll 3 custom D6. 2 give the polyomino shape you will draw and 1 the building type. In every game, at end scoring you'll get points for visible trees. Any uncovered rocks are -1, and you can't cover the river, mountains, or forests. If you can't/don't want to draw a shape, you can pass at a cost. And if you want to end your building phase completely, then you can with no penalty. Each chapter has its own set of rules for the games within it, and these new requirements get added onto the basic rules! A game ends when all players have ended their participation. The winner is the player with the highest total score after 12 games! 🌲💒🎲

🎲 First Impressions: Wowza! We absolutely loved our first play! ❤️ And although not technically a legacy game like MY CITY, I feel like all roll and writes are legacy games really because you change your own sheet forever (what is drawn cannot be undrawn! haha). It's definitely a campaign game and what a little cracker it is! The rules are super easy, and the sense of development is excellent. And I ❤️ the use of dice rather than cards to determine the shape - it makes the polyomino drafting in each game much more random in the best way! With double sided sheets and a solo mode, you can replay the campaign too, and there's a mini campaign within it if you only have time for a few select games at a time. It's a brilliant, accessible and crunchy roll and write adaptation of the original MY CITY, and we can't wait for Chapter 2!❤️

Hey hey! It's #thematicthursday started by @prest

Hey hey! It's #thematicthursday
started by @prestonsgamersguild and this week the theme is 🔶🔷CLASSICAL🔶🔷chosen by @biggeek_littlegeek

🔶🔷 AKROPOLIS by @gigamic_france @hachetteboardgamesuk is a fantastic tile laying, placement optimisation, spatial open drafting puzzle game set in ancient Greece (Classical-nailed it! haha). Tasked with building houses, temples, gardens, markets, and barracks, each type will only score if they have corresponding plazas which act as multipliers at end game (and don't forget 0 x anything = zero!!). How high you build and where you build will also affect scoring. Plus, there's a cool resource management aspect - to buy the tiles you wants takes stones. And stones can only be acquired if you build over quarry tiles. Oh the price depends on where in the market the tile you want to draft is located! It's a brilliant game and has become an instant favourite of ours! 🔶🔷

🔶🔷 MILLE FIORI by @coiledspringgames @schmidt_spiele is not technically classical - it's not set in ancient Greece. But the lovely artwork and Italian renaissance vibe feels like it's being influenced by classical Roman culture so I'm going with it counting haha! In Mille Fiori we play glass makers manufacturing and selling our beautiful glassware. With a board filled to the brim with different spots depicting the stages of making glass, this is another super placement optimisation, tile laying game with a clever hand management/close drafting mechanic. The cards you pick and pass determine which spots you can lay your tiles on for points and hopefully combo-bonuses. And you can even profit off other players' hard work if you can scaffold off their tiles to reach certain spots!

What games do you like that have a CLASSICAL theme or vibe? 🔶🔷

Hey hey! It's #wellpairedwednesday started by @ten

Hey hey! It's #wellpairedwednesday started by @tennessee_meeple and this week's theme is 🍟🥣FOODIES🥣🍟chosen by @welikegamesss

4 games that inspire the greedy guts in me are:

🥣🍟 WOK AND ROLLL by @origame.co - this is a lovely, light roll and write all about building delicious Asian menu items. It has the cutest dice, and if you aren't shouting "shrimp shrimp noodle" then you're definitely missing out! haha Plus with the new KOREAN WAVE expansion, there's even more delicious dishes on the menu!

🥣🍟 DINNER IN PARIS by @funnyfoxgames @hachetteboardgamesuk - this is a brilliant set collection, tile laying, area majority, hand and resource management game. It has so many elements but is easy to learn and is absolutely brilliant! It also has mega 3D buildings and the BATTLE OF THE CHEFS expansion brings a tasty helping of direct player interaction and take that. It's a double helping of awesome sauce!

🥣🍟 BUFFET BOSS by @origame.co
- this is another Origame title but this time we are stacking foods like, well, a boss! With picky eaters to satisfy for bonus points, trying to get your dish piled high is a fun and thematic stacking challenge! It even includes the 3 second rule when it comes to things falling off!! 😂

🥣🍟 VEGETABLE STOCK by @taiwanbgdesign Good Game Studio - this is a tasty little open drafting filler where the cards you take affect the stock value of each vegetable in the market. Players get to take a card from the market, but the one left over will raise the price of those depicted on it. Will the carrots cause a crash? Will the corn cause a stock surge? Who knows! It's fun to find out!

KINGDOMINO ORIGINS by @brunodesmontagnes published

KINGDOMINO ORIGINS by @brunodesmontagnes published by @coiledspringgames @blueorangenews is stone age in theme but it is way ahead in terms of fun! 🔥 🐟 🌋 🦣 🍄

It's effectively 3 different Kingdomino games in one! The basic double territory domino tile laying doesn't change, but each mode adds a new element to the awesome spatial puzzliness!

Discovery is the closest to the original - here fire replace crowns and it is all about using 🌋 to maximise point scoring

Totem has super cute wooden tokens that you add to your tiles and which you use to compete for resource majority bonus points! 🐟 🍄 🦣

Cavemen score points based on what is around them on your final tile tableau! 🛖

I'm really enjoying Totem mode right now- but I'm a sucker for cute little wooden tokens! 😄

Have you played Kingdomino Origin? Which mode do you like best?
