@smallfriesgames and my #secretsantaofboardgames is back again this year with the more challenging task of creating ugly Christmas jumper type photos including the recipientâs chosen word out of board game bits!
I got @nane_spielt_in_ffm who wanted her pic featuring âsnowâ. Bit of a challenge but hoping my board game bits look kind of like falling snow! The irony of Azul SUMMER Pavillion making the perfect snowflake Christmas jumper pattern???? đđđ
Games I used: Azul Summer Pavillion, Really?!, assorted D&D/TTRPG dice and Quacks of Quedlinburg

My haul from #toyconuk2024 - not as massive as usual but Iâve already either bought my fav pieces from everyone I like or was seriously outpriced so I couldnât. đđđ I am over the moon though because I have been pining for a specific Tokidoki Cactus Bunny (the mushroom one) and I never even see the blind boxes for them over here, but lo! Not only did they have them at all but I managed to pull the exact one I wanted!!!! (And another cute one too!) I also pulled the most beautiful fairy fox I could have imagined from a different blind box. I was sad that @jaykishh had sold out of their big pieces so I will be back next year to hunt for one and I would have certainly left with a catctus from @biggs_and_pieces too had it been released so I am waiting with baited breath to see that happen! đ„°đ

@kay_plays_games and @boardgamebeacon started the monthly #BoardGameFaceOff challenge so check them out!
â Why Kodama Forest should win:
This game has such a gentle and sweet dreamy artistic style to it! I love it so much! Look how cute the Kodama and the panda are! Such a lovely game!
10/10 serene!
â Why Hedgehog Haberdash shouldnât win:
So this dude needs to use leaves for his spikesâŠ. Hm. Look at those eyes sticking up too⊠This is clearly a toad in disguise! I mean the specs are just frames with no glass in them so he is a million percent working for a shady government agency. Spy frog.
0/10 frog not hog!

@kay_plays_games and @boardgamebeacon started the monthly #BoardGameFaceOff challenge so check them out!
â Why Kingdomino Origins should win:
Look at my cavemansona just chilling there with my pet mammoths among the fish and mushrooms! Super cute! I adore these wooden meeples and the brightly coloured terrain dominoes. Such a fun game and dare I say I love Origins more than the base game with all the additional resources and mechanics at play!
10/10 cave in to the cavepeople!
â Why Pengo Jump shouldnât win:
Look at Herman the penguinâs face! Heâs FUMING!!! Clearly he doesnât want to jump! He has his little reading glasses on and clearly just wants to read a book! For shame! Herman is not even a third of the way through the first LOTR book stop interrupting him!
0/10 books>jumps!

â Why Everdell should win:
A gorgeous tree, lovely wooden animal meeples, stunning little resource tokens - especially those bouncy little berries - whatâs not to love????
10/10 treerific!
â Why Honeycombs shouldnât win:
Sometimes you see a bee and youâre like âplease Sir can I have honey?â And theyâre all like âNo because actually I am a waspâ and then you get stung and cry.
0/10 for the duplicity!

10/10 baby itâs a firework!

This game contains the following gifts: fat camp, plastic surgery, liposuction, nose job, dating services and many other gifts you HAVE to choose friends around the table to gift them to! This may make them kill you!
