#VCSBG Tuesday night #boardgames and #craftbeer at Pedals & Pints in #thousandoaks
I do like #boardgames with dice. The drama. The tactile interaction. The disappointment. #DiceHateMe
I especially like game designs where I can do well despite my poor luck with dice. One such game is Kingsburg. A resource collection through dice placement. The 3 newcomers to the game liked it too. I lost by a single point. GG.
Tuesday night #boardgames and #craftbeer with the #VCSB in #thousandoaks
The new year has brought an influx of newcomers to the group. We always have a bunch of suitable games at hand that we can teach with ease and confidence.
At the end of the night we gathered stragglers together for Codenames. Always fun.
Like last week, Mark and I met up early to play a short 2-player wargame. This week was Pocket Battles: Confederacy vs Union. I lost #dicehateme

Monday night #VCSBG #boardgames & #craftbeer at the Angry Ferret
A bunch of new and familiar games were played, mostly familiar ones.
Ark Nova, Can't Stop, Doge, The Crew, and one where, unusually for me, I cannot remember the name. That's why I take notes folks. Where was that piece of paper?
I did manage to win two games of Can't Stop. #DiceHateMe
Well, this is further proof that folks should be careful which news sources they listen to.
Pic is not my creation. Found on the interwebs.
There are some discussions about WFTB 3.0 on the WFTB CSW folder. There was talk of adding a 6th player. As much as I enjoy WFTB I feel it could be improved
Perhaps
If folks want to know the origin of this alternative Banking rule. It was a game where I rolled for banking 4 times and rolled a one each time. #DiceHateMe http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?14@@.1ddb7a46/3
Some white elephant gift ideas for folks who like #boardgames:
6-sided dice where the numbers are 0-5. Try & roll a six with them! #DiceHateMe
Pre-used card sleeves so it looks like you played the #boardgame many times.
Any other good #tabletop gamer related white elephant gift ideas?
It seems fit to do an proper #introducton thread. I’m Tim, I have way too many #boardgames and #DiceHateMe. I like board games for the challenge, the themes, and for the camaraderie. I take part in a number of #boardgame related groups, namely:
The #VCSBG group is based in #VenturaCounty and mostly plays #EuroGames.
The #SoCalWargamers group meets in Pasadena and mostly plays board #wargames.
#TheWargameBootcamp teaches folks how to play historical board #wargames.
