gotta start this off with a pic from my favourite, Mansions of Madness
green isle
Thr aesthetic with the candles is great
Perfect for the game
Recently reorganised my board game shelves

I only own a few classics myself but get together with friends on a quasi-monthly basis to play others
Last weekend was 7 Wonders, Tiny Towns, Codenamed, Bravo!, and some extra hard variant of Uno as filler 
green isle
How is Tiny Towns? Never played that one

I liked it, I played it once before aaaaaages ago, but I think I also won both times so maybe I'm biased

any toys or games like unstable unicorns?
green isle
I have a bunch of small box games - I know of unstable unicorns but not a lot about it. If you can describe it a bit I might be able to think of something
Otherwise if someone else has played it I def defer to them lol
jovial sleet
it’s a card games with unicorns and rainbows basically exploding kittens with unicorns. the company teeturtles also made mini blind box figures that i love to collect from unstable unicorns
green isle
Are you familiar with Sushi Go! ?
green isle
Hmmm....
jovial sleet
even toys like collectibles
green isle
I might have to defer on this one, it's probably the closest I've got, but I'm sure someone else has likely come across something similar.
I'll def ping you though if something comes to mind! I'm pretty terrible about remembering things on the spot lol
jovial sleet
what gay games would you recommend?

Oh yeah, huge fan of Numenera and really wanted the Black Cube for Invisible Sun. Just like a lot of his design ideas. Though, I suppose I was responding to a post from like 10 days ago which in internet time is the 1850s

I've got ao much monte cook stuff that I've never gotten a chance to run lol. Agree re: design ideas
He comes up with good stuff

Oh, I've long since given up on running everything I want to XD I buy stuff to have it in my collection and mostly run D&D because it's easy to find players
green isle
Yeah exactly the same here haha
Though I cling to the sliver of hope that someone might want to play the others sometime xD
fallow wadi
Honestly, when I get some things sorted to get myself more free time, there's a strong chance I'll pick one of my less popular titles and see if I find anybody on roll20 with an interest. I am giddy over the copy of Continuum I got for my birthday but that's probably a big ask XD

Finally went all in on the hobby and bought the Kallax

I actually looked into it and unanimously everyone said "don't fuck about just get a kallax" when I was researching storage solutions lol
@dense bane if we're really at a loss for things to do there's always this

Painted a mini for the first time at a workshop yesterday. I have mixed feelings about the way it turned out but will begrudgingly admit it's not awful
Worst part is I had the teeth really good then soiled it with a wash

This cooking game is so fucking cute omg

Played a Mansions scenario over the weekend and I really wish it was the kind they leaned more on
Because making physical notes being needed to keep track of the threads of the mystery made it so much more engaging even though it's a simple thing

@dense bane they changed the art on Sheriff of Nottingham to make him look even more perverted

Yo - wanna play again online sometime? Those sessions were a lot of fun

@jovial beacon business is booming on our mountain

Now that I've played a full game: it's pretty good! The fact that the runs are unowned (anyone can deliver skiers if they have access with their chairlift network) adds an interesting competative tile placement angle.
I quite like how the turn constraints kept the engine building aspect from dragging on too long

I was the white player.
My ski area was named The Reserve and the fact that we offered wine tastings gave me a 1 coin discount every time I had to buy something lol

Oh no lol
Theyre cards from the game Inscryption.
I also sent @grand cliff a pack as they're one of the few people I know that also loved that game 
They won't mean a lot to you unless you've played it

Also wanted to mention DaDaDa here as it's a linguistics party game
Something you don't see very often lol
You use pictographs and phonemes to make a basic language as a group and try to communicate in it

Sleeved all my Side Effects cards and now they don't fit right in the box

So I played a 7-player, 14-Victory Point game of Twilight Imperium yesterday...
It was a lot. We've done >6 players and 14 VP before, but never together.
We took a break halfway through, it was super fun but the game still took 12 hours

ah yeah you were not doing very well
one thing about power grid is that it can be very hard to catch up if you fall behind
green isle
Yeah def - it was my first time playing so I forgive myself for not knowing the strategy yet
jovial beacon
oh yeah of course
your first time never counts unless you win
fwiw I also am not that good at this game
so much of it is about reading what people are going to do in auctions and it's hard
warped latch
No freaking way
also this game is super rare because they got sued by Hasbro. That's why off brand monopoly's use the -opoly suffix
also the money is divisible by three because it ties into 80s gay slang
it's also been ported to tabletop simulator on steam so you can play it there
