Board Game 30 Day Challenge
Day 25: Are there any lesser-known games you would recommend checking out?
So many! For every well known modern game like Wingspan, Catan, or 7 Wonders, there are 100 lesser known ones that are so much fun.
I tend to recommend Forbidden Island (for families), The Game, Vindication, Framework, and dozens of others. We have 330 or so games in our vault, and I’d recommend any of them in the right circumstances.

Board Game 30-Day Challenge
Day 23: What is a game that gets better the more you play it? A game that gets worse the more you play it?
Most social deduction games get worse the more you play. They are another example of games that once you play them, you've experienced all they have to offer and you never need to play them again.
And I would say most other games get better the more you play them

Your candidates are!
Yuvan, rolling for 1 and 2 - a bright-eyed, musically insecure, slightly traumatised-by-his-siblings young man who likes to add a dash of bright yellow eyeshadow to represent his generation’s colours. He’s slightly erratic. 
Yuri, rolling for 3 and 4 - a used-to-be menace of a child, now tame and kind and shy but with a little spice. Extremely tall and aspires to travel the world beyond his little cottage.
Yachi, rolling for 5 and 6 - an aloof goofball who loves his trash-fruit he picked up somewhere. He’s recently aged up and not much of a personality yet, but generally distant, busy with his own thing and staying in his own lane. 
Anyway, we let the dice decide...and the winner is:

Yuri!! Pleae let RJ know his heir rights expire in about 5 days.

Bears vs Babies: A Game Review
We're three games into our challenge to play all games in our collection three times. After playing Yahtzee, I needed a palette cleanse.
Tumblr media
It'd be easy to just select a game we enjoy, but to keep things interesting, we used the randomizer in BG Stats to select Bears vs Babies as our next play. I'll admit it's a nice feature if you want to break out of your habit of selecting the game favorite games over and over.
Tumblr media
Bears vs Babies is a new game to our collection. We've played it once before with a group during a game night. In the moment, we really enjoyed it and put it on our wish list.
Who wouldn't like trying to build ridiculous monsters like a velociraptor in business attire who sucks at dancing to battle nacho babies and fake babies and lots of other weird looking babies?
As a group game we definitely enjoyed it, however as a two player game it didn't pack the same punch. My husband and I typically don't pull any punches when we play each other. We were so focused on messing the other person up or making sure the other didn't have an advantage that we didn't really collect many babies.
It's fun to build the monsters. I did find the power drill cards a little useless. and wished there were more poke the babies cards. Having more players to split the babies up, makes the game less of a runaway if someone is drawing the right cards at the right time.
This was another wipe out. I dominated all three games. The first two rounds had the widest margins at 21 to 7 and 25 to 14. By the final round, my husband mostly caught up at 15 to 14.
Up next? Sagrada.

𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞!!
OKAY so i was just browsing through tumblr and i saw a few accounts like @yazzdoodles and @cherriesxinthespring make cute moodboards of themselves representing their own personal style/aesthetic! so i had the idea to make it into a challenge/tag game!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the rules are simple, just create a moodboard representing you!!
i created mine on canva, and got all the images from pinterest and just put cute little doodles all over them. but be creative! you can create a board like this or you can just arrange some images in a post to represent your personality!!

Board Game 30 Day Challenge
Day 10: What is the coolest or most interesting thing you have seen in a game (a mechanic, a component, a rule, etc.)
I like the trend toward reduced or eliminated plastic in games. It requires deep consideration how to make the game beautiful, secure for shipping, manageable, and not so expensive that too many people are priced out. There’s a lot of factors to think about. Wood costs a lot more than plastic, I assume, and is heavier for shipping. Many cardboard pieces produce wasted excess when punched out, and it’s hard to get cardboard to have the quality and feel you want when you spend $50-$70 on a game. Then there’s the biggest issue: how you store the components, which traditionally have been in small plastic bags, or upgraded plastic game trays. I haven’t seen a game really solve that issue yet.
We just got Leaf, for example, and the components are wood and they are gorgeous but it does make the game heavier and therefore more expensive to ship. Earth Rising doesn’t have any plastic, but the cardboard game trays are not great and we wound up using plastic bags from our stash.

Day 20: What is a game that is still great after a few years of play? What game doesn’t stand the test of time?
Base Pandemic is still fun after all these years.
Diplomacy usually takes too long. But I'd still play it.

Let the games begin: Ticket To Ride
Tumblr media
Ticket to Ride is a special game in this house, which is why we decided to use this as the first game in our challenge to play all our games three times over the next two years.
My husband and I met volunteering for a youth organization in Knoxville, TN. For the next five years, we saw each once a year for a week. You see, we lived in different states.
Then in year six, we started playing the Ticket to Ride app on our phones. Mix in more time and life events, we started a long distance relationship with Ticket as one of our main connection points. More life stuff and we were living together. One night playing games, he proposed after I won a round of Takenoko. The rest, you could say, is history.
Did I mention our wedding theme was board games? We even had board game themed wedding invitations.
Anyways, we figured it was appropriate to start the challenge with the game that kept us together.
Tumblr media
Ticket to Ride is a classic game. It's a great gateway game that can still end friendships. It's approachable for those unsure of the vast color cardboard world out there. Ticket was the first game in my collection outside of the traditional kids games everyone has.
My favorite version is the 10th Anniversary Edition of the US map. The trains, metal storage tins and full sized cards make it special. We'll be revisiting Ticket to Ride with several of our other boards as we work our way through the challenge.
We're pretty evenly matched when we play. However, it didn't seem that way.
Tumblr media
I crushed it. Won two of the three rounds.
Round 1: 246 to 145
Round 2: 265 to 103
Round 3: 159 to 188
After 11 years with Ticket to Ride in my life, I can say it still has great replay value. We play this game and the other boards several times a year. There's no sore losers when we play this.
The ticket cards keep the game fresh as you never know what your starting routes are going to be. There's also nothing better than being an agent of chaos when you claim the essential route someone else needs. It's a lovely little moment of glee.
I also get a great amount of satisfaction when completing one of those 20+ point cards and then drawing a series of new tickets that I've serendipitously completed finishing other routes.
This was an easy game to knock off three rounds. Definitely a keeper in our collection.
Up next? Yahtzee!
Sincerely, The Wife
