Rapunzel has been playing who knows how much chess against Pascale and is getting creamed by him in this scene. I need more background on chameleon chess prodigies. #rapunzel #tangled #disney

Another Monday, another board game app reviewed with today's being Ticket to Ride: First Journey, the child friendly introduction to the Ticket to Ride universe. For children, this is a fine intro game with the streamlined rules, colorful board and quick game play but there isn't much depth behind the basic decision making and the inability to choose cards (as there's no market) leaves the fate of your strategy in luck's hands as opposed to your own. The app is a great port for the First Journey game but I just don't know if I like First Journey enough to want to play both. As an adult, the answer is an easy no. When my daughter is old enough to play games, maybe. My major knock on this app though is that there's no online play so you can't even have children play against their friends unless they're sitting right next to one another. For a deeper dive and a comparison between base Ticket to Ride and First Journey, check out TwoofftheTop (link in my profile). #TickettoRide #tickettoridefirstjourney #app #digitalboardgames #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamereview #boardgamereviewblog #review

It's shelf of shame Sunday and we knocked out Watergate today. This two-player game explores the Nixon scandel unearthed by honorable journalist and feels like a cousin to the heavier genre of card driven games (a la Twilight Struggle). #shelfofshame #boardgames #boardgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #watergate #nixon

Another Monday, another review of a digital board game implementation. Today I look at Patchwork, the two-player abstract game where players create a quilt! I've looked at this as a physical board game before and loved it. The digital version make a good game better. It's quicker to play, there's no set up and there's a full gamut of difficulties to play against in a solo mode. If you want to read deeper into my thoughts about this app, check my profile for a link to TwoofftheTop. I highly recommend this app if you're looking for a quick game to play. If you're looking for a new player to play against, add me; my username is TwoofftheTop. #Patchwork #Patchworkgame #Patchworkapp #digitalboardgames #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamereviewblog #boardgamereview #app #digidiced
