My youngest was learning about butterflies in 1st grade so I showed him Mariposas by @elizharg and @aegminions. In the end we only messed around with the wooden pieces. Hopefully my wife will play with me now that it is all set up, especially if she wants the dining room table back! 😆 . . . #butterflies #mariposas #mariposas🦋 #aeg #games #gaming #gamer #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #totallytabled #play #playing #playinggames #instagamer #boardgameaddict #playmoregames #brettspiel #juegodemesa (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK7iiRYhtv0/?igshid=ynr5x05iu72v

The cultists tried to summon the "Ancient Nightmare of Unspeakable Horror" but Cthulie appeared, licked their faces and then pooped on the pentagram. (From the Dungeon Petz rulebook) Day 7️⃣ of the 10 days of cool compositions challenge. (I think?) (#10daysofcoolcompositions started by @jazzylovesgames to mash up 2 or more board games.) I was nominated by: @both_sides_of_my_table. I would like to nominate @twomexicanmeeples for this challenge (if they so desire). 😊 @czech_games_edition @fantasyflightgames #dungeonpetz #arkhamhorror #10daysofcoolcompositions #totallytabled #brettspiel #playmoregames #games #gaming #gamer #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #play #playing #playinggames #instagamer (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzFVFIhdJE/?igshid=r4lyfl7monsj

Who else would spend an unreasonable amount of money if @eaglegryphon made a matching empty box to hold CO2 Second Chance? With Ian O'toole artwork, of course.

I played two sessions of the new solo mode for Kanban EV. I'll sum up my first impressions in one word: brilliant! If you've enjoyed David Turczi's other solo designs you'll feel right at home here. You play a modified three player game against two AI opponents named Mr. Lacerda and Mr. Turczi. When they score points they instead take points from you. If you end the week, or a meeting, with negative points you lose immediately. The AI is controlled by drawing cards from two decks. The system is very elegant once you wrap your head around it. Love it. I should add: I lost both games fairly quickly, so I might be scoring something wrong. Or I need some practice. -Shaggi @totallytabled . . . #kanban #kanbanev #firstimpression #game #games #gaming #gamer #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #totallytabled #play #playing #solo #soloboardgame #soloplay #playinggames #instagamer #boardgameaddict (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmPEhbhg4E/?igshid=1nnkl28ct8x3l

Kanban, my favorite @vitallacerda board game, has finally received the @eaglegryphon deluxe treatment it deserves. Feast your eyes on the beautiful @ianotooledesign artwork. Marvel at the awesome wooden components. Sandra meeple is best meeple! They even included a new solo mode! 😊 Guess what I'm doing tonight. Thank you Vital Lacerda. Kanban is a masterpiece and this edition is a gift to board game fans everywhere. -Shaggi #totallytabled . . . #kanban #kanbanboardgame #gaming #gamer #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #bggcommunity #iloveboardgames #sologaming #solomode #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #play #playing #playinggames #instagamer #boardgameaddict #eurogame #eurogamer (at Woodburn, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKhZ0Nmhwi7/?igshid=npepaexz8xui

I've been looking forward to Vladimir Suchy's latest board game Praga Caput Regni since falling in love with Underwater Cities not too long ago. So far, I've really enjoyed my plays. The action wheel is a neat device. Upgrading your actions works well. The game has a bunch of stuff going on but each turn is really simple to play. I will definitely explore this one more in the coming weeks. -Shaggi @totallytabled . . . #pragacaputregni #game #games #gaming #gamer #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #play #playing #playinggames #instagamer #boardgameaddict (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKe0ADFBXz9/?igshid=1xxf1t4dbkfmi

I finally got Castles of Tuscany to the table. I'm a Stefan Feld and Castles of Burgundy fan. If you are wondering, I'd rank the top 5 Felds in the following order: Macao, Trajan, Burgundy, Bruges, Amerigo. How about you? Anyway, I'm unsure after one game of Tuscany. I need more plays but I suspect this one isn't for me. I didn't like the card play and found the actions fairly bland. -Shaggi @totallytabled . . . #game #games #gaming #gamer #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #play #playing #playinggames #instagamer #boardgameaddict (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKec7ClhY-m/?igshid=1k4i01q778wma

I won! Is it just me or is Burgle Bros on #steam really hard? The digital implementation is not great honestly, but it is playable.

I won't play board games today. In America we celebrate the tragically short life of civil rights hero Martin Luther King Jr. The history of my country's fight for racial equality is especially important to me as the son of an African American mother and an immigrant father. I want my two young sons to appreciate their grandparents' struggle and understand that the fight for civil rights continues today. I created this Instagram page in order to document the many ways board games have enriched my life, providing joyful experiences with friends and family. But I must also confront the fact that this hobby I love so much offers very little joy on a day like today. As I scan my shelves I find few, if any, opportunities to experience the American civil rights movement or to play a person struggling for racial equality. Or even to embody a person of color in anything but a superficial way. Yet I could fill a Kalax with games where I'm forced to play a white oppressor whose oppression is either the key to victory or ignored altogether. Or both. I get it. We are all just trying to have fun. But on a day like today, I wish our hobby could strive for loftier goals a bit more often. -Shaggi @totallytabled . . . #mlk #mlkday #martinlutherking #civilrights #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #instagamer #boardgameaddict (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKMq4ZhhNEm/?igshid=1lqxu652b3dhu

New arrival! I've heard great things about Dune: Imperium, from the designer of beloved Clank! The solo mode looks very interesting. I can't say the same for the game board. #prototype -Shaggi @totallytabled . . . #game #games #gaming #gamer #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #sologaming #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #nerdlife #analoggames #tabled #play #playing #playinggames #instagamer #boardgameaddict #dune #duneimperium (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHL8qiBJz2/?igshid=9brorarqj0j

We played an oldie but a goodie yesterday -- Super Motherload by @roxleygames. So much better than the video game! -Shaggi @totallytabled . . . #game #games #gaming #gamer #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #play #playing #playinggames #instagamer #boardgameaddict #supermotherload (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEvrYchaFi/?igshid=1fw1hl7n3ixtr

Cupcake Academy is another great logic game for kids from @blueorangegames. This one is cooperative, unlike another favorite of ours -- Dr. Eureka.

I played my first game of Enchanters by @mythicgames and @gindipl. This is a satisfyingly simple card drafting game with a fun fantssy theme. The deluxe box adds infinite replayability. I look forward to exploring all the expansions and modules in more depth. -Shaggi @totallytabled . . . #game #games #gaming #gamer #firstplay #boardgame #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletop #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamegeek #deluxebox #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamer #gamenight #geek #analoggames #tabled #play #playing #playinggames #instagamer #boardgameaddict #fantasygame #enchanters #cardgame #nerdlife (at Oregon , USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ6nVs6BsOw/?igshid=f6nsvw0va7pe
