Welcome Board Gamer!

Buying games is easy…

building a collection that you are proud of is a science…

having the right game, at the right moment, for the right people that brings joy to the whole table…

Now, that is an art!

Hi, I’m Ken. I’m passionate about board games and helping others find games that they love. I’ve been collecting and playing board games for 10 years and have learned a lot along the way. I believe that everyone deserves to play great games with the ones they love and have a collection wherein each title brings them joy.

So, I’m here to teach you the art of building a board game collection!

All Tracks Lead to 18xx

Train Tuesday I talked to one of my friends on the phone today and we had a really interesting conversation about the trajectory of strategy board gamers. The argument is that no matter where you start in the hobby, if you enjoy deep strategy and critical thinking, you will ultimately end up playing 18xx. SomeContinue reading “All Tracks Lead to 18xx”

Turns out you can play Black Sonata on an airplane. If you’ve got a list of games that are good for travel, you’re going to want to add this cool little solo game to your list! #blacksonata #blacksonataboardgame #boardgames #sologames Picked up Tichu over the weekend and played it at a brewery. 10/10 would recommend! #tichu #cardgames #boardgames Being a game developer doesn’t mesh very well with keeping up an IG account because I’m often playing games that haven’t been announced yet. Here is the first picture I took of Plum Island Horror during my first prototype play. This game is so cool and while the prototype doesn’t look like much, it captured my attention in a way I didn’t expect! #plumislandhorror #gmtgames #bgg #boardgame #tabletopgames — #cardgame #gaming #epic #boardgamegeek #gamer #games #boardgamejp #analoggame #juegosdemesa #Brettspiele #ボードゲーム #brädspel #jeuxdesociété #j2s #game #geek #instagame #boardgamesofinstagram Dominant Species Marine | when I played dominant species for the first time, it was just a little bit too me for me and took just a little bit too long. Marine fixes the length and either I’ve gotten a tougher skin or the take that has been turned down a bit too! Great game at 4-players and at 2-players. Glad to have gotten this one into my collection. #dominantspecies #dominantspeciesmarine #gmtgames #bgg #boardgame #tabletopgames — #cardgame #gaming #epic #boardgamegeek #gamer #games #boardgamejp #analoggame #juegosdemesa #Brettspiele #ボードゲーム #brädspel #jeuxdesociété #j2s #game #geek #instagame #boardgamesofinstagram It’s a dairy farm... plus sheep. Agricola All Creatures Big and Small is such a great thinky 2-player worker placement game. In this house, we love our Uwe Games! #bgg #boardgame #uwerosenberg #tabletopgames — #cardgame #gaming #epic #boardgamegeek #gamer #games #boardgamejp #analoggame #juegosdemesa #Brettspiele #ボードゲーム #brädspel #jeuxdesociété #j2s #game #geek #instagame #boardgamesofinstagram Stardew Valley the Board Game ... Well, I’ll start by saying I have never played the video game and I imagine that the type of video gamer that enjoys Stardew Valley might enjoy its board game implementation for all of the same reasons they like the video game. The art is cute in a little bit dated sort of way, the big bad Joja Corp is mildly inconvenient at worst, and the whole experience is more of a chill activity than a game. Quicksilver has got to be a new favorite hero for me. In a game today, I took a full-health Bulldozer from the Wrecking Crew to zero health in one turn. 30 damage from the pictured hand. Unbelievable fun!! #marvelchampions #marvelchampionslcg #bgg #boardgame #tabletopgames — #cardgame #gaming #epic #boardgamegeek #gamer #games #boardgamejp #analoggame #juegosdemesa #Brettspiele #ボードゲーム #brädspel #jeuxdesociété #j2s #game #geek #instagame #boardgamesofinstagram Time for some new #MarvelChampions content! Where to begin? Let me hear ya, who’s your favorite hero? I’ve been really digging cube rails games recently. Mini Express is a great addition to the genre. Very cool in the way that it is money-less and has a victory point end game still toed to share value. I’ve only played it at 2-player which was a bit cutthroat but very interesting and I can’t wait to get it to the table with a full player count. #miniexpress #traingames #cuberails #bgg #boardgame #tabletopgames — #cardgame #gaming #epic #boardgamegeek #gamer #games #boardgamejp #analoggame #juegosdemesa #Brettspiele #ボードゲーム #brädspel #jeuxdesociété #j2s #game #geek #instagame #boardgamesofinstagram
