Because @discordjack and I just played the new Looney Tunes Mayhem board game, I’ve been on a WB lore kick. And wouldntcha know it? I found another #CutthroatCompound. In a 1945 cartoon, Bugs dresses up in a long beard as DR. KILLPATIENT to further befuddle Elmer into thinking he has Rabbititis. (The name built from the fictional Dr Kildare from the NBC show?) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Tonic

I buy where I can, but Roulette-Taking Game seems to be absolutely nowhere to be found even checking with my very reliable contacts for Asian games so I homebrewed a copy. Very excited to try this! #BoardGames
Also Oceans technically shouldn't count since what would put it on the Shame list is the upcoming Kickstarter expansion which has not released yet, so 271 if I'm being honest. 😞

Shame shelf progress update (times are roughly how long they've been gathering dust): Nine Tiles Panic (2 yrs), Torres (7 yrs!!), Oceans (1 yr), Bucket King 3D (1 wk). Not pictured: Stacked (~2 wks), Wicked & Wise (1 month), and Turing Machine (<24hrs!). Immediately undid progress thanks to another Miniature Market sale, so from 270, I was briefly at 265, and now I'm right back at 270.

Keepers: Turing Machine, Oceans, Torres. Maybe sell: Wicked & Wise + Bucket King 3D.

Oops. Found the meme 2 days ago, and the games arrived today. Thanks for the #BoardGames and the personal attack Miniature Market. ❤️
Finally got around to finishing Dr. Ellie Sattler from Unmatched thanks to a friend wanting to come over and paint her D&D minis. It'd be 90% done for so long and I was so hung up on the last 10% I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Happy I got that alley-oop of motivation I needed. 1 down, 6 dozen to go. #minipainting #unmatched
My seven-year-old daughter has now taught three of her friends to play Geister Geister Schatzsuchmeister, all of whom have loved it. I’m a little jealous of her batting average for setting up game nights, to be honest. #boardgames
(2/2) @E_Briannica Take A Number (aka X-Nimmt) adds row limits to the original game plus a new personal card row to make it work for 2-4 players. Now when you take a row, instead of going to a penalty pile, cards go back to your hand except 1 which goes to your personal row where it's safe...ish. Those must also be played in ascending order as in the main rows. If not, they get flushed to a 2x penalty pile. Cards in your hand when one player goes out also penalize you, but only 1x.
(1/2) Me and my lovely partner @E_Briannica will make more progress on the shelf of shame since she had the wonderful idea to institute a weekly standing game night for the two of us. Take A Number (aka X-Nimmt) takes the wonderful chaos of the original Take 5 (aka 6-Nimmt which shines at 5 players and above) and adds a couple of simple twists to keep it just as interesting for <5 players. More details to follow. Shelf of Shame count: 270. Will make this a weekly update. #BoardGames
I don’t have stacks of games on a Kallax unit; I prefer to maintain a small collection of games I play regularly. They’re displayed in turn on shelves behind my desk, so they’re visible on work calls. It’s proved to be a conversation starter and has resulted in me recommending games to co-workers. Unfortunately Sleeping Gods is far too heavy for the shelf and has to live permanently in the bookcase. Not pictured: Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition and my Button Shy Games. #BoardGames #Shelfie
