First Impressions of the games that we played at PAX Unplugged 2018. You'll see some oldies like Lanterns, some hotness like Holding On and Fireball Island, some currently funded Kickstarters like Chai, and future Kickstarters like Blume. Check out https://twooffthetop.com for the full rundown. All in all, a great convention. #paxunplugged #paxunplugged2018 #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #boardgameconvention #boardgamereview #boardgamereviewblog #chaiboardgame #fireballislandthecurseofvulkar #azulstainedglassofsintra #kickstarter

Railroad Ink is in contention for my favorite release of 2018 (that I've played). No one else in my group shares that sentiment and I think the reasons I love it are the reasons it doesn't receive much love from others, namely the stressful, silent turns. I think for the cost and the time of play, Railroad Ink offers some of the best strategy and decision makings in any game I've played. #railroadink #railroadinkblazingred #railroadinkdeepblue #railroadinkred #rollandwrite #rolandwright #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #railroadinkblue

Shelf of Shame Sunday is on a Saturday this week as we tackle Pioneer Days, an Oregon Trail-esque game of dice rolling and disaster mitigation. It also has some of the thickest components I've ever seen in a game. I have no idea why they're so thick. This is a fun, light hearted game that doesn't have much (if any) player interaction but does have a sort of cooperative approach as whatever color die you leave behind moves that color closer towards disaster (which could be disease, famine, storms, or a raid). Maybe you work together, maybe you purposely ruin someone's plans. Either way, really neat mechanic. Pioneer Days isn't a game I'll be clamoring to play a lot of but it does scratch a nice itch for the western theme. #pioneerdays #pioneerdaysboardgame #tmg #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #shelfofshame #shelfofshameSunday #western

The Climbers is a great dexterity filler game. Roughly twenty minutes of easy but strategic game play. Looks great too. I wish there were some fun varients though. #theclimbers #boardgames #boardgaming #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #dexteritygame #dexteritygames #fillergame

Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure is one of our favorite games. We own all the expansions and have hunted down the promos. I'd been told that Clank! In! Space! added a touch more to the original game in the event we ever got bored. Well, we haven't gotten bored but thanks to the PAX flea market, we're able to try out the Space version for cheap. First and foremost, the cultural references are far greater for Space than the original. You'll see references to Star Wars, Star Trek, The Fifth Element, Rick and Morty, Futurama, Terminator, and more. The modular boards create a new playing arena with each game and I really liked the additions of bounty hunters (red cubes that when drawn gave all players damage and go back in the bag) as well as the data points, where players need to "hack" terminals in two different areas of the board before they're allowed to grab an artifact. I also thought the abilities of the cards were far more diverse and interesting and really wish they'd see their way into the original game. After one play, we're already hooked and I cannot wait to get a second game in soon. #clank #clankadeckbuildingadventure #clankinspace #clankboardgame #deckbuilding #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #paxunplugged #bggmarketplace #futurama #starwars #startrek #rickandmorty #terminator #thefifthelement

Out the door goes Bora Bora and in comes Root: The Riverfolk Expansion. I really thought Bora Bora would be another Feld that would be a staple of our collection but I just felt that there was too much going on and not in a meaningful way. Excited to see what this expansion brings for Root. #borabora #boraboraboardgame #stefanfeld #root #rootboardgame #rootexpansion #roottheriverfolkexpansion #expansion #trades #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #bggmarketplace
