BrettPoint Galaxy in progress. Another one off the Shelf of Shame.
BoardGameBlokeAnother #boardgame off the #shelfofshame
Tempus by #MartinWallace is a 2-5 player civ-lite game published in 2006. Graphics wise it shows its age.
It does give the 4x feel in a few hours. I'd play it again. Perhaps I won't wait 14 years. That's how long I have owned my copy.

For #ShelfOfShame Saturday we played #Propolis . It's a fun little worker placement tableau builder which reminds me of Splendor, and that's not a bad thing. It's cute, cozy, fun, and not very challenging intellectually.

Some of these I did big kickstarters or bought the entire game line piecemeal, and have still never brought to the table.
(1/2)
I have often referred to my pile of #TTRPG books that I've bought but not played as my "Shelf of Shame".
I kind of want to come up with a better name for it, since I'm not actually ashamed of them. Except for the tiny handful of buys from last Gen Con that I haven't gotten around to reading yet.
What's on your #ShelfOfShame ?
Tabletop Games BlogLet's be honest. Most of us in the hobby buy games that we play once or twice or in rare cases, three or four times. So in this article, I want to look at this a bit further.

Single-Use Games - the board game hobby's throw-away attitude (Topic Discussion) - Tabletop Games Blog
Let's be honest. Most of us in the hobby buy games that we play once or twice or in rare cases, three or four times. In fact, the term "shelf of shame" is a thing, describing games that people have bought but not yet played. The thing is, these games sit there unplayed for months on end and may never see the welcome sight of a table, let alone a board game table. So in this article, I want to look at this a bit further and investigate why we don't play the same games more than a handful of times.
