My son beat me in The Quacks of Quedlinburg. The blue set 1 is a killer; it’s way over-powered and dominating. I prefer using some other set... #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #thequacksofquedlinburg https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Y-hPDh6MM/?igshid=8tyifjkrnpy

The keys to victory are in my hand. I hear @snowdaledesign is soon shipping out Dale of Merchants Collection, and after thinking I don’t care much for a while, I’m now really looking forward to it. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #daleofmerchants https://www.instagram.com/p/B2YNVEqhOGm/?igshid=16hulg20d6sge

The Great Zimbabwe was mentioned on the board game society forums, so I wanted to play it again. The two-player is quite the knife fight and as usual, my son beat me using Tsui-Goab’s power. I’ve only beat him once, when Taui-Goab wasn’t involved. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #thegreatzimbabwe https://www.instagram.com/p/B2YJ8IjhSj9/?igshid=1j0yyj92n12ub

Managed a victory in a three-player game of Amul. It plays well with three players, but I don’t think I want to play it more with three players. With five and more, it’s much more attractive. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #amul (paikassa Lautapelikahvila Taverna) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2RsICBBSV3/?igshid=1e4dpo02y7y6r

Five years from my previous game of Gulf, Mobile & Ohio. I still think it’s a super cool game with really subtle timing and money control issues. I played a solid game and was very pleased to figure out I could win the game no matter what. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #gulfmobileohio #winsomegames (paikassa Lautapelikahvila Taverna) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Rr7qNBzlU/?igshid=1ttmn5og2yqk5

Fifty plays of Europa Tour! Took me 15 years, but who cares, it’s on my 50 x 50 list now, a first new title on the list this year. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #europatour #10daysineurope https://www.instagram.com/p/B2JomLDhhmP/?igshid=xtm4y3b90lzr

Genial is fairly close to hitting my 50*50 list, but it’s still on my math trade list. I can play it before I trade it, plus there’s a copy at the boardgame cafe. I don’t particularly like this cardboard edition. #ingenious #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #genial https://www.instagram.com/p/B2JlKjcBCmp/?igshid=1lm5qj1inic0t

First go at Conflict of Heroes: Guadalcanal. The intro scenario is very simple and doesn’t use Bushido Points for the Japanese, so looking forward to that. I lost, Japanese reinforcements crushed my Marines. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #conflictofheroes #conflictofheroesguadalcanal https://www.instagram.com/p/B2JjaFwB0Uf/?igshid=1vdsxayiankcp

Finnish gamers love Terraforming Mars, and why not – it’s a very lovely engine builder with a cool serious science fiction theme. We started our Sunday with a rwo-player game on the Hellas board. My son won 83–76. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #terraformingmars https://www.instagram.com/p/B2IyI7HBkL-/?igshid=4ggbpp6rljkn

My winning stall in Dale of Merchants. As you can see from the animalfolk selection, we don’t shy from chaos and complications – Chameleons are by far my favourite. My goal of hitting fifty total plays for Dale this year is closer. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #daleofmerchants @snowdaledesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B2GRiZNhvH_/?igshid=5u56aaz2r3j4

Afghanistan is devoid of power, but worry not, situation is going to change soon. Pax Pamir works well with just two players, even without the Wakhan bot. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #paxpamir2ndedition #paxpamir https://www.instagram.com/p/B19MMfvhohi/?igshid=uuwtgq77u4vw

First play of Inis. Not my kind of game, but in this genre, this is very good. My game was awful, but I managed to reach one victory condition. I wasn’t the Brenn, alas, so I didn’t win. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #inis (paikassa Lautapelikahvila Taverna) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1tnejPBz5D/?igshid=1bhbhksk85w44

Again we needed a two-player game to start a game night. @willbeplayin chose Caverna: Cave vs Cave from my suggestions. He played a very strong second era and beat me with a healthy margin. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #cavernacavevscave #cavernacavevscaveeraii (paikassa Lautapelikahvila Taverna) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1tfxj9hXvR/?igshid=1md20eqmzqynl

The combination of Nightclub and Fishmeal Factory pleased me quite a bit in Nusfjord. However, in the end I lost 35–29. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #nusfjord https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rHr50BNgu/?igshid=p2sxbl4fsfe9

My son wanted to play Dale of Merchants. Well why not! We had the Chameleons, Owls and Sloths, that was a fun mix. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #daleofmerchants @snowdaledesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B1q_PWohvZ9/?igshid=1s8bmjzg0kzrp

This is a splendid three card hand to finish a round in Krass Kariert. I rather like this little mixture of trick-taking and climbing. #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit #krasskariert (paikassa Lautapelikahvila Taverna) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bkOUFh60V/?igshid=2tetuei2c8si

I’ve been very happy to get Web of Power played two weeks in a row. This time the result was correct: I won, if just by few points. The advisor game was funny, as the board was divided in two. #webofpower #boardgame #boardgames #lautapelit (paikassa Lautapelikahvila Taverna) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bhWmph6fp/?igshid=1xtki07p8ygsr
