Via reddit I found Clepsydris which solved this issue more conveniently - it creates a qr-code that you can share with the other player(s) - cool! It also has BGG integreation, stats etc. and overall has been working really well for us. https://www.clepsydris.app/ #boardgames

The Boy and I wanted to track our board game plays - I had been using BGstats which works well - BGG integration, nice stats and gui. However, we learned that it's not intended by BGG to be able to track a game with another BGG user in it and have it show up in their plays too to prevent spamming. Bummer.
BGstat allowed syncing games by allowing to export a game to a file that you could send to that friend to import. Not super convenient. #boardgames

Ah, the pleasure of turning a game around and winning unexpectedly. Yay! Boy doesn't know what hit him ;)
We tried 7 Wonders Duel Agora for the first time which has great additions, but makes the game significantly meaner. #boardgames

Just one was also easy to play remotely, the guessing player just had to look away/close their eyes while the others wrote their stuff down and then compared their answers. Extra comfortable if you have erasable pens and a surface to write on so you can write with big, easy to read letters without wasting a lot of paper! #Boardgames #remoteboardgames

We just played #Codenames online with some friends - worked really well - you have a shared session, you only need to share the link. It's available in multiple languages too!

Days of wonders released their Roll & Write #boardgame "Corinth" as a free version to print at home - we just tried and it's a fun little game!
You do need 12 dice but I think most of us will have those :)

We are running out of space in our board game shelf so I have condensed 6 boxes of dominion into one.
Bless the people who wrote a script to automatically make these tabs, even comes in German too! http://sandflea.org/

Still have 3 boxes to merge and some rearranging to do, but I've wanted to do this for a while now and it took less time then I feared it would.

We played Whitehall today - a spontaneous buy from #Spiel19 - when we saw it my fiancé remembered a shut up and sit down episode about it and that it was good - price was only 15€ so we took it home with us. It's like a modernized Scotland Yard and it's awesome! We had a lot of fun chasing the murderer (fiancé) looking for clues etc. There were quite a few moments that were incredibly close and thrilling for both parties. Can recommend!

Long and exhausting day in Essen at #spiel19 - we took some new games home and some more onto our wishlist!
We got Wingspan with the European expansion, Just One, Team 3, Whitehall mystery and Konja was an extra in the wingspan bundle.

What a fun round of #Wingspan! I ended up having a goal card that gave me points if a bird had a body part in it's name and another one when there was either a plant or an animal (except birds) in it's name, so when there were birds like the brown-headed cowbird which has both "head" AND "cow", I just HAD to have it.
I ended up winning, but this was a fun twist regardless ;) #boardgame
