Backgammon - Golden Birds
Backgammon belongs to one of the oldest board game families in the world, the dice table games, and has its origins in human history over 5000 years ago.
Despite the almost overflowing abundance of new, complex, exciting and elaborate game developments, such timeless classics continue to enjoy unbroken popularity. Like chess, Go or Reversi, backgammon is played and enjoyed by many hundreds of thousands of people around the world in their leisure time or in competition.
Although the game is mainly played with dice, it is not a game of chance. The simple but ingenious basic rules create a tactical and mentally challenging brain game from the group of two-person zero-sum games with perfect information.
The aim of the game is to roll your own pieces out of your home field. You have to make clever moves to prevent your opponent from capturing individual pieces and thus gaining a lead in terms of turns and time. This is because captured pieces must first be rolled back into play before you can make a regular move.
Over the course of time, hundreds of variants have developed, each with their own local characteristics. Additional rules, modified starting positions and different victory conditions also invite young people in all countries of the world to enjoy the fascination of backgammon.
All variants, no matter what they are called and which country they come from, have the game board with the characteristic triangular squares in common, even if other shapes exist.
I created an elaborately decorated version for the VBR, which was inspired by an exhibit in the Dresden Residenzschloss (permanent exhibition of the armory: "World view and knowledge around 1600").

I call my creation "Backgammon - Golden Birds" and it is intended to be reminiscent of the arts and crafts of the 16th to 18th centuries, even if I am not aiming for a historical reference to a specific era.
You can find great physical versions of this game at the following link.

You can purchase the virtual game in the VBR store or download it for free as a "Lords of the Board".

Oggi vi parlo di un bellissimo gioco online: The Escape Game Unlocked. È un gioco d'investigazione e deduzione in cui dovrete riuscire a catturare un ladro e ricettatore di opere d'arte. Questo titolo non è un board game, essendo un'esperienza di gioco esclusivamente via web. Ma il game designer, ed aggiungerei anche il web designer, hanno fatto un eccellente lavoro nel ricreare online, in modo molto verosimile, l'esperienza di un gioco da tavolo alla Sherlock Holmes. Il gioco grosso modo si può paragonare a Detective Scena del Crimine, in cui oltre ai componenti presenti nella scatola dovete interagire con il portale Antares. Invece in TEG Unlocked interagite esclusivamente col suo portale, che è realizzato in maniera impeccabile. Nell'arco della partita dovrete analizzare files, reperti, foto, video, indirizzi e tanto altro. È anche presente una sezione aiuto per risolvere le singole parti della storia, nel caso vi blocchiate in qualche punto. Man mano che proseguite con le indagini nel portale si sbloccheranno altre sezioni con nuovo materiale da analizzare. Il gioco è formato da 3 capitoli, ed al momento sono acquistabili i primi due: Chasing Hahn e The Silk Road, dal sito ufficiale https://theescapegame.com/unlocked . Ogni capitolo è una missione singola, che fa parte di una campagna, che indicativamente dovreste risolvere in alcune ore. La partita può essere giocata su qualsiasi dispositivo con un browser web e tiene traccia degli avanzamenti durante la missione, può essere quindi interrotta e ripresa quando volete. Tutto il portale è in lingua inglese, è quindi necessario avere almeno una conoscenza base della lingua per poterci giocare. Vi consiglio vivamente di dargli un'occhiata perché è una bellissima esperienza di gioco, che può essere fatta anche in solitario, e ha un prezzo assolutamente accessibile. • • • #escapegame #boardgameonline #onlineboardgame #investigationgame #onlinegame #webgame #digitalboardgame #giocodatavoloonline #giochidatavoloonline #policegame #giocodeduttivo #giocoinvestigativo #giocodideduzione #deductiongame #deductiongames #detectivegame https://www.instagram.com/p/B_cnVZ6q999/?igshid=rbs9dzdvv20d

lantern, cider?
lantern - how did you meet your best friend? What were your first impressions of each other?
HM this one is hard but i think really everyone in my main super close friend group met the same way, which was just like, a weird merging of friend groups on twitter in 2015 that we ended up forming a subgroup out of later on.... i think i personally met them all through a game of boardgameonline i’m not sure what impression that made but it WAS fun
cider - a food that you disliked as a child but now enjoy?
honestly i have no idea, i’ve always been suuuper picky/sensory issues hell... if anything i’ve just gotten better at picking around the stuff i don’t like rather than like, not eating it at all lol
