This was a test stream for an idea that I want to do going forward. Basically, I love streaming games for people, but I also want to talk about board games. I get some chance to do that on my Wednesday stream, but sometimes I end up mainly focused on the game. So starting next Monday at 8 PM I am going to be doing a topical stream. Now, you might be thinking, did I stream yesterday, I did, that was the test run, and it was a ton of fun.

Thank you everyone who joined me on the stream, that is the reason it was so much fun. But it was also fun to pick a topic and really dive into it. I liked being able to talk about how I pick board games for game nights, and then some tangents on different types of games or picking a group for a particular game. And to end it up, I did a review on three dexterity games that I have in my collection.

The Video

The Beer

Last nights beer of choice was another Tart Ale from Surly. Their Supreme series is really good and very summery. I am excited for it to be warm enough to really enjoy them. Last night I drank the Mango Supreme Tart Ale which I like better than the Grapefruit. Mainly it feels more summery and is unique from say an IPA which can also taste like grapefruit.

Quick Reviews

The three reviews were for dexterity based games. Sonora is a flick and write game that feels more accessible than other roll and write games because of the dexterity aspect. Tokyo Highway is a stacking game that looks like art but doesn’t have a ton of deep choices. And Ice Cool is a flicking game that tends to work for the whole family and any group.

Upcoming Topics

I want these bi-weekly Monday streams to be topics that are important to board gaming. So I do want input on them. What do people want to see for topics? Would you be interested in top 10 lists, I am interested in doing those. What topic would you like to see for a Top 10? And did you like the format of the reviews, do they work for you, let me know?

And just in general, do you want to see streams where I talk about topics or is gaming more fun? I know it was 5 people live watching me yesterday and I had fun interacting, whereas gaming depends more on the game. Let me know what you thought of that aspect as well.
