I have a new love. The Networks is an amazing game by #GilHova. I don't know how I missed out on playing this one before now, but I am completely in love! A game about running a TV network and programming TV shows with card drafting and set collection. This game was SO HILARIOUS! 😁. Such great artwork and a great sense of humor in the game. It had us all laughing the entire time! Fun mechanics that do a good job of matching the theme make this an instant buy for me. After 1 play this game will easily fit in my Top 10. I must own it. Loved it! #BoardGames #TabletopGames #StrategyGames #DesignerGames #games #BoardGamesOfInstagram #Gamestagram #GamesBringPeopleTogether #Game #Top10 #TabletopGamers #play #BoardGame #funny #TV #Hilarious #tabletopping #BoardGameAddict #NewLove #TheNetworks https://www.instagram.com/p/BncakzbnC8w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=150mw06q82ub8

My Sci-Fi Network (I always have a sci-fi network! 👾🦄🤖👻👹🐲) sold out in the final two seasons and put a sports show (Ultimate Fainting Championship) in the 10pm slot. Got lots of viewers but still lost by a lot.⁣ ⁣ The Networks is such an interesting, creative and hilarious game designed by #GilHova and published by #FormalFerretGames⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #Fainting #BoardGames #FaintingChampionships #Strategy Games #BoardGameAddict #TVshows #TabletopGames #TV #PlayBoardGames #SciFi #ScienceFiction #GamesBringPeopleTogether #GameDay #GamesOfInstagram #Instagames #Gamestagram #PlayMoreGames #TVnetworks #BoardGameGeek #TheNetworks⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-mi_G9HN3N/?igshid=1snvmgle3e0ux

The custom round tracker that we got for our copy of The Networks. This replaces the simple black pawn that comes with the game.⁣ ⁣ The Networks is one of my favourite gaming memories. The game has so many hilarious TV puns and jokes and playing this for the first time with a group of friends resulted in so many great laughs. A absolutely brilliant game with plenty of theme and lots of strategic depth behind the silly show titles and inside jokes.⁣ ⁣ Designed by #GilHova and published by #FormalFerretGames⁣ ⁣ #BoardGames #Strategy Games #BoardGameAddict #TVshows #TabletopGames #TV #PlayBoardGames #GamesBringPeopleTogether #GameDay #GamesOfInstagram #Instagames #Gamestagram #PlayMoreGames #BoardGameGeek #TheNetworks⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-lUB1rHu4z/?igshid=1rumfceo4ms71

This the set up for my new all-time favorite word game. Wordsy by #GilHova and published by #FormalFerretGames fixes everything I don't like about other word games. It is forgiving players who aren't normally good at word games, younger kids or people who are just not very good spellers. There is a simple catch-up mechanism so scoring is rarely one sided. It takes away the ability for 1 player to take so much longer than everyone else at the table and doesn't reward the player who is only making 3-letter words. The game moves along quickly and doesn't take a long time to play from start to finish. Easy to teach and easy to learn. It does all this and still manages to stay interesting and competitive. #BoardGames #BoardGameAddict #TabletopGames #GamesOfInstagram #BoardGamesBringPeopleTogether #WordGames #words #FamilyGames #Gamestagram #Wordsy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0wCENnEQx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m9a34u3oybmi

The Networks is the top of Must Have List right Now. Sell advertising, hire stars and develop TV shows that get your TV network viewers. Some shows get better with age, some peak early and fade away, choosing when to cancel a show and when to pick up a new show will be key to your success. Brilliant game by #GilHova where what you do in the game nicely matches the theme of the game. #ThemeDoesMatter #BoardGame #TabletopGame #StrategyGame #TVshow #TVshow #BoardGames #BoardGameAddict #BoardGaming #BoardGameGeek #StrategyGames #play #games #DesignerGames #TVshows #TelevisionNetworks #TelevisionNetworks #TheNetworks https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzP7_PHpuy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c80vgwiri2h2
