DIY Game Table

September 29, 2016January 10, 20181 Comment

I’ve had quite a few comments about my gaming table so I thought I would do a post to show how it was designed and made! I didn’t take any progress pictures unfortunately though... We are currently living in a rented house and don’t have much space so I needed quite a small table, we … Continue reading DIY Game Table

I'm not very good at having my photo taken without laughing out of sheer awkwardness but I wanted to share this lovely skirt sent to me by @ludocherry so please ignore my idiocy 😉 The skirt has the cutest little D20 cherry's with a real 1950's vibe which is a favourite of mine as I love rockabilly style. These full circle skirts and 50's style shirts are coming to Kickstarter 1st October in 4 different fabrics, all subtlety inspired by tabletop gaming. I love the meeple garden design 😍 Oh and it has POCKETS!! If you know me you'll know how important this is to me! If you're interested in this kind of thing be sure to give @ludocherry a follow to find out more! P.s This is NOT a paid preview I just wanted to share this awesome project!

Snacks and board games 👌 we've had a few days off work which means playing games and eating our favourite food! Today we played a couple games of Big Book of Madness for the first time. The first game we played on the normal level and found it way too easy so we decided to try again at the hardest possible level and failed miserably 😂🤦 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ More importantly though, what's your favourite snack while gaming? I like thinks I can pick at like cheese, olives and dips. But I only let people I trust eat around my games 😂

ICYMI : : Ticke to Ride London Vs Ticket to Ride Europe / Ticket to Ride I’ve only actually played Ticket to Ride: Europe so my comparison is based on that version of the original game. I believe some of the below are also not present in the US version of Ticket to Ride: 🚂 London uses Buses instead of Trains 🚂 There are no Stations, Ferries or Tunnels 🚂 There are no Long Destination Ticket cards 🚂 There is no bonus for the longest train 🚂 The longest route in London is just 4 Buses 🚂 London introduces Districts, which score points if you connect different areas of the board with Buses 🚂 The game board is much smaller, the box and cards are also smaller 🚂 Game end condition is the same, two or fewer Buses remaining, but there are only 17 Buses per player, vs. 45 Trains in Europe, hence the shorter play time! If you want to see more on Ticket to Ride London the full review is on the blog, link in bio!

In true Viking fashion I just had to conquer Drunken Octopus Island 😂🍺🐙 We had our first game of Imperial Settlers: Empires of the North and it took my half the game to really get a feel for it and know what I was doing, by which point it was too late 🤦 looking forward to giving it a go again now that I know what I'm doing though! Have you played? How did you find it? I can't decide if I want to try a different clan or try to master one first...

REVIEW : : Roll and Write games are having a moment right now with everyone wanting to get in on the action and honestly I love it! I really enjoy Roll and Write games so I’m always happy to discover a new one to play.
