BJ from Board Game Gumbo
@boardgamegumbo
Hey board gamers, it’s BJ from Board Game Gumbo (that’s me to the far left at ChuckCon 2023). I’m a board game player, reviewer, content creator and interviewer. Wait, did you just say that you designed a game about a historical city? Tell me more...

We have a big ice storm on the way, which might mess up my game day plans, but no worries! Ive nee sampling @drfinnsgames.bsky.social ‘s Book of Solo games, and I really dig the Word Wrap and Cosmic Run games so far. I have plenty more to explore if we are stuck inside this weekend!

First play of Emberleaf from @cityofgameshq.bsky.social went great. Awesome teach from Jeremy, and the card dancing created a lot of combos to puzzle out during the game. Our playthrough should be up soon. Looking forward to another play.
Setting up a learning game of The Pirate Code from Final Frontier Games for our Euro Mondays stream!

My favorite character in the new Unmatched: The Witcher - Steel & Silver box! Ciri starts out slowly, but utilizing those source cards strategically can make her very powerful in the “back half of the game”. Plus, she has some gorgeous art on those cards! @restorationgames.bsky.social
Two great games last night. First time playing Scholars of the South Tigris, which I enjoyed so much more than Wayfarers. I need more experience with this game, so many strats! Finished the night with my favorite Suchy, Underwater Cities + New Discoveries (minus the museum). Awesome game night!
Sneauxed in? Might as well dive into some rule books. Learning Scholars of the South Tigris on recommendation from David from Man v Meeple!
I’m not sure I’m doing this sneaux shoveling thing right.
Chatting with @andrewstiles.bsky.social tonight on Gumbo Live! all about Wine Cellar from @25thcentury.games - come join us on FB, YT or Twitch in an hour!
Both of my sons dig The Witcher lore, so it was cool introducing my older son to the new Unmatched characters from Steel & Silver! He played Geralt, said it was very thematic, while I got to try out Ancient Leshen. I lost my wolves early and he defeated me! @restorationgames.bsky.social
Video Game Champion brought back some fond memories of renting video games from Family Video And Other Stuff (yes, that really was the name!) way back when. @arcanewonders.bsky.social
Match of the Century sure photographs well. And I did like the historical notes, for sure.
I love this game, very play has opened up new strategies and combos especially because of the variables brought by the two alien races.
Why yes, I think I will have some homemade macaroons and syrup cookies today, thank you very much!
My secret Santa sent me a new-to-me expansion for my favorite game of all time, Concordia. I got to introduce the game with Sicilia as the map to three new players, and I love love love the volcano tiles. Just added a little bit o’ cayenne to the mix.
First play of the new The Witcher: Steel & Silver set from @restorationgames.bsky.social — I loved the twist in the Ciri deck, where if she can hang on until the back half of the game, she gets really really powerful! The source cards make for some really tough decisions early on. 👍
We did the @boardgame.bsky.social live on the show! Thanks for coming in Daryl, that was an awesome visit!
Going live with @boardgame.bsky.social in eight minutes!
