And there it is, my first year in the board game hobby. It started trying to source a copy of hero quest on a nostalgia trip and ended one of the most incredible and satisfying years ever. I managed to play 100 different games, got to play at two new bots game clubs, met Martin Wallace, got a comment fro Vital Lacerda, made some new friends and amassed a collection to be proud of. What an amazing year, an incredible hobby and I’m ready to take on what comes next! #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #top100boardgames #workerplacement #deckbuilding #eurogames #ameritrash https://www.instagram.com/p/CJdKw08ha8I/?igshid=1ckpldz7w5mdg

I’m not a cat person, but I am a Tetris person. Isle of Cats is therefore a game for people who like Tetris, card drafting, paying for things with fish and squashing rats with feral cats. #isleofcatsboardgame #isleofcats #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #polyominogames #thecityofkings #cityofkings https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZ6D2ohHhS/?igshid=3ynf1oqjcpy3

This is Age of Steam. It looks cute, it is very rewarding to but it doesn’t forgive, it doesn’t forget 😂 it has player elimination and it wants to make you a better person for playing it! #ageofsteam #traingames #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #ianotoole #martinwallace #not18xx https://www.instagram.com/p/CJVv2bRBHRP/?igshid=5r1vg95rqvru

Feel a little like playing Die Hard this Christmas? Hostage negotiator is a fun little solo only game where you deck build cards to talk terrorists down from executing hostages. Play your conversation cards, roll the dice and see if you said the right thing to calm the situation. If you’re lucky, they might free a hostage. Wasn’t what they wanted to hear? You may have less hostages to save 😂 #hostagenegotiator #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #diehard #soloboardgaming #deckbuilders https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6diRfhH_U/?igshid=l2ggmwlooj3k

On Mars blew my mind, easily the most challenging game I have had to learn, but as the game started to unfold, the learning curve rapidly flattened out. What an incredible achievement in clever gameplay thanks @vitallacerda ! #eaglegryphongames #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #eurogames #workerplacement #onmars #vitallacerda https://www.instagram.com/p/CIw5xt-BXY-/?igshid=1ok9mcgudupfw

Fog of love is a two player romantic comedy in a board game. Players pick an occupation and three personality types, the other player picks three physical attributes that they see in the other player’s character. The game plays through several chapters of a relationship to see if it will last 😂 #boardgames #fogoflovegame #romanticcomedy #boardgamesofinstagram #twoplayergames https://www.instagram.com/p/CIwLGwPBUWf/?igshid=1559l3uk5jcct

Broom Broom! It’s Taxi Derby! Pick up passengers, get them to the destination but don’t get caught speeding! A delightful little game of drivers on a map trying to upgrade their vehicles, make some money and avoid the fuzz 😂 #taxiderby #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgames #boardgame https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdC8bnBZsm/?igshid=18hvhaxdbz613

Anno 1800! Surprisingly like the computer game, building your industries to build new industries. Build up your workers so you can use your industries to activate your cards. Once all yours cards have been activated, the game is over. The problem is that the more important diatribes you need, the more workers you need and the more cards you get. It’s an interesting tug of war but a satisfying and laid back experience #anno1800 #martinwallace #eurogames #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #workerplacement https://www.instagram.com/p/CIHzH-dhxE1/?igshid=14u1d8dxp4xcf

Back to the New York Zoo, second play unlocked much more strategy to this relaxing yet engaging game. @uwerosenberg @capstone_games #animeeples #newyorkzoo #uwerosenberg #capstonegames #boardgames https://www.instagram.com/p/CHpn7GphXrq/?igshid=13y5j7rk7z2iz

I was lucky enough to meet the great Martin Wallace on the weekend, have a brief chat and buy some of his games from him including one of only 5 copies of Anno 1800 in Australia. He even offered to sign them all! Thanks Martin! #boardgames #brasslancashire #ageofindustry #anno1800 #auztralia #eurogames #martinwallace #heavyeuro #brassboardgame #boardgame https://www.instagram.com/p/CHoZmYchJ55/?igshid=1g17orauwmugt

Lisboa. The more you play, the more it unfolds and you really can appreciate how straight forward it is. Piece by piece the game unlocks to present interesting twists and turns for the players!
