With SPIELWORXX as the theme for this Saturday, we have Gentes, The Cost, Ground Floor, West of Africa, and London Necropolis Railway on the tables. Enjoy this pictorial recap of these games! Yes we’ll be back for Spielworxx Part 2 as there are still so many more Spielworxx titles to play thru!
Here’s a picture-heavy recap of our journey to bring Euro Saturdays back to our event calendar! Hope this gives you a good comparison of the games we bring out for Saturdays, compared to the more casual and beginner-friendly vibes of our regular Casual Fridays.
Bert’s on his 3rd day of fishing. Does it get any better for him? Find out in “A Deep Regrets Story – Day Three” by rachelmeow.
Here’s DAY TWO of Bert’s fishing adventures – A Deep Regrets story by rachelmeow.
During one of the Casual Fridays, instead of jumping into a session, Rachel decided to sit back, followed the game play from the sidelines, and turn what she observed into a short story. And that’s how this short story piece came about. I thought this is a refreshing change of pace as it offers a narrative departure from the usual game reviews, sessreps, and board game news. Hope you enjoy the read!
We pivoted from OTK Fridays to Casual Fridays post-COVID. And somehow we’ve hosted over a hundred sessions since – without a single sessrep. While that’s a symptom of just how busy the biz has been keeping us, it’s also a regret (tho a shallow one) that we can’t get back to sessrepping. With that said, we broke the duck with the 1st sessrep for Casual Friday. Welcome back! And a little bonus for you at the end of the sessrep.
Spiel starts tomorrow. If you have yet to get your tix, better do so as Thu tix is sold out and Fri’s going fast!

No, we are not talking about *that* LSD which hits you on the hallucinogenic spectrum. But if you are here, then you probably are trying to find out more about this “LSD Game Day” that we are hosting or planning to host.

Looking back fondly at Food Chain Magnate’s first release back in 2015 and Rachel’s growing up years in parallel.
The Day before Spiel. As we Malaysians look forward to entering an endemic phase for COVID-19, some are looking forward to waking up tomorrow to the largest boardgame convention in Essen!
Congrats to a Malaysian-designed game winning BGG’s 2021 9-card PNP contest. Cheers all to Dancing Queen!
As we await for more news of #KeretapiCON, here’s a mind-blowing video to keep you occupied.
KeretapiCON announced, and a quick look at what were played around the Klang Valley last week plus an update on some new “train games” from our webstore.
Our plans to revive our Secret Santa meet this year hit the unstoppable COVID-19 wave. So we can only use today’s Throwback Thursday to reminisce on a meeting of Secret Santas many moons back in the early days of Boardgamecafe.net.
Spiel15: What does a 6-mth-old do in Essen Spiel? You are just 6 months old. Never mind walk, you have yet to find your voice. So what do you do if your mom brought you to Essen Spiel, the largest board game convention in the world?
