I'm trying to clean up the game room and am finally consolidating some expansion boxes to fit their contents in their base game boxes. Some of these boxes are egregious. The GWT expansion box makes sense due to the size of the board that's included but what about the Fog of Love boxes?!? This isn't unique to just these games either. These just happen to be the ones I'm cleaning up right now. This is such a waste of materials. #greatwesterntrail #fogofloveboardgame #fogoflove #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamephotography #expansion #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #waste
Blokus is one of my favorite abstract games because it's so quick and easy to learn yet can play so mean. I was happily able to get a copy of Blokus Duo (or Blokus to Go) and I'm in love. It's the perfect travel game as the pieces fit into the molding with each play. They're not necessarily easy to pull out but that does keep them sturdy if you were to be playing in a car or plane or something similar. It only plays at two-players but I think it's a great representation of the game and works better than the variant in the traditional Blokus game. This version has players starting near the middle of the board as opposed to the corners. #blokus #abstractgames #abstractstrategygames #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #boardgamesofinstagram #twoplayergames #travelgames
Decided to break out something a little heavier as the little one slept today. Viticulture hit the table and it was a fight from the first points scored to the last one. We played with the Rhine Valley expansion, which really amped up the decision making due to the new visitors. With a final score of 36 to 32, it was one of our closer games. We both fulfilled multiple orders on the final turn but mine just weren't worth enough points. If interested, I've reviewed everything involving Viticulture on my blog.

First Father's day. Weird? Surreal? Awesome? #fathersday
I am so happy we decided to use our normal voices and sounds around our infant. If we had tried whispering and enforcing quiet times, she would be an absolute mess right now. Can't wait for these gas lines to be done. #baltimore #baltimorecity #bge #gaslines #construction #infant #napping
In trying to find the perfect game(s) to play with an infant around (either sleeping or in your arms). I think Carcassonne might be the perfect game. Minimal components, minimal set up, easy turn structure and scoring. We've moved on from our "gateway" games so Carcassonne hasn't received the love it deserves recently but now I remember why it's held in such high regard. A shame I have an older edition as now I have the itch to add some expansions to the base game. #carcassonne #carcassonneboardgame #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #boardgamesofinstagram #gatewaygame
