Looking at the board, you'd think the yellow player was doing pretty well but I lost. Again. #tapestry #tapestryboardgame #stonemaiergames #boardgames #boardgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity
Why aren't the names of the buildings on the physical board? There's even a space for them. I understand trying to be language independent but the cards and player boards (and scenarios and such) have written English so why make me reference the rulebook or player aid so much? In the grand scheme of everything, this isn't that big of a deal...but combined with everything else the rulebook is vague or disjointed on, this is what pushes my buttons. I wanted to learn the entire game from the rulebook then check out the "unofficial" rulebook that can be found online but I think it's time to move onto that copy. #boardgaming #boardgames #boardgame #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #martians #martiansastoryofcivilization #mars #terraforming #space
I'm not ready to call this the worst rulebook I've ever encountered, but it very well might take that prize if I ever get to the actual game play. I shouldn't be punished or made frustrated just because I want to play your game. #martians #martiansastoryofcivilization #mars #boardgames #boardgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #space #civilization #rulebook
Still wrapping my head around Tapestry. It's funny. I don't find this to be a difficult game to pick up or play but I'm awful at it. The few times I feel like I'm going to compete to win, I get a poor card draw. Guess I'll play it again. This particular game was a victory for me, but only by 4 points. #tapestry #tapestryboardgame #stonemaiergames #boardgames #boardgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity
We recently decided to start talking the shelf of shame again and Terra Mystica was one of the games we needed to play. After playing it, it's not a game that will remain on our shelf. I appreciated the decision making and planning and once the game wrapped up, I definitely thought of better ways I could have used my resources but I was never overly invested in the game. The theme didn't draw me in and the hodgepodge of mechanics, while working fluidly with one another, felt tacked on just to have another mechanic included. I didn't hate it but I just don't see a circumstance where I'd ever play it again. #shelfofshame #shelfofshameSunday #boardgames #boardgame #boardgaming #boardgamesofinstagram #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #tabletopgame #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #trades #terramystica
