Not sure how much of the game you’ve seen, too, but the box comes with a few surprises that are not present in the introductory game. :)

Sky Team is a game of tension. It IS a checklist (like many cooperative games), but one you’re on the whim of dice rolls and limited resources to fulfill, with little to no communication with your partner. I once heard that “a good game is a series of interesting decisions”, and it fits the bill.

Splendor Duel is a GREAT game, but it requires a little bit of fuel, I find.

Codenames Duet as well.

Sea Salt & Paper and Sky Team.

It's surprisingly hard to find, on #BGG, whether a game is cooperative or competitive. Which is very often the one thing I really want to know about it.

September in #boardgames@bgstatsapp.bsky.social. Always sad when I don’t play enough games to fill a 3x3 grid in a month. But at least I played a great deal of my two favorite games (Root, Arcs), and got to know a couple of new games (Sonora, Fox).

(By the way, I don’t mean games that include apps. I mean community made digital tools for use in the context of board gaming.)

Some are. I’m not. Every time I’m playing a game, my phone is logging that playtime on @bgstatsapp.bsky.socialtinyurl.com/bg-toolkit I like to think we just recognize the value of analog activities.

BG Toolkit

A collection of cool, useful, or interesting tools made by board gamers, for board gamers. *Know about something I should add here? Message me on Discord: @fbracht*

Hahaha nice! Had no idea! Jacques was so endearing to me. He showed up at random and I initially didn’t like him too much, but I came to love the dude hahaha He’s so lame, always trying something to be cool and trendy. Also, “skibidi rizz” is a stone’s throw from “zut alors”. 😄
