It's no wonder some of the horses have legs missing. This set is at least 60 years old and as a family was well played. No television in those days.

The chess pieces and board from my father.

With this chess game I have leant to play chess.

Playing a game on a rainy day

I decided to share this image for the upcoming #macromondays theme called #GamePieces

 

Game pieces are physical or digital objects used in board games, tabletop games, and video games to represent players, characters, resources, or other game elements. They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, depending on the game’s mechanics and theme.

 

Types of Game Pieces

 

Player Tokens – Represent individual players on the game board (e.g., Monopoly tokens, Chess pieces).

 

Meeples – Small, humanoid wooden figures used in Euro-style board games (e.g., Carcassonne).

 

Dice – Used for randomization, movement, or determining outcomes (e.g., Dungeons & Dragons, Yahtzee).

 

Cards – Can serve as game pieces when used for actions, characters, or resources (e.g., Magic: The Gathering, Uno).

 

Tiles – Used to build maps or change the game layout (e.g., Settlers of Catan, Mahjong).

 

Miniatures – Detailed figurines representing characters or units, often used in strategy and role-playing games (e.g., Warhammer, D&D).

 

Chips & Tokens – Represent points, money, or resources (e.g., poker chips, victory points in board games).

 

Board Markers or Pawns – Basic pieces used for movement on a board (e.g., Sorry!, Ludo).

This was also for an 'activity' theme challenge, where I did tabletop roleplaying games.

 

For those who have no clue what I'm talking about, these are collaborative storytelling games where players take on roles of various characters they create. Rolling dice is used to determine if things they want to do in the game succeed or not.

JOSIE: Today we play tag.

MOPPIE: I love that!

JOSIE: First you choose a a figurine.

MOPPIE: WHAT? WHY? FOR TAG? Okay I take the little pig.

JOSIE: I take the hare, take one more Moppie.

MOPPIE: I like the duck.

JOSIE: I take the rat and you can have the frog.

MOPPIE: O no, no frog for me!

JOSIE: Now you trow the dice..

MOPPIE: So I did that too, what's next?

JOSIE: We have to look at the rules. you read...

MOPPIE: You know I can't read yet, but I will ask Scout (raaen99).

I think this might be a fun game after all.

======================================================

 

JOSIE: Vandaag spelen we tikkertje.

MOPPIE Vind ik leuk!

JOSIE: Eerst kies je een poppetje

MOPPIE: WAT? WAAROM? VOOR TIKKERTJE???

Oké, ik neem het varkentje.

JOSIE: Ik neem de haas, neem er nog een Moppie.

MOPPIE: Ik wil het eendje.

JOSIE: Ik neem de rat en jij mag kikker.

MOPPIE: O nee, geen kikker voor mij!

JOSIE: Nu gooi je de dobbelsteen...

MOPPIE: Gedaan, wat nu?

JOSIE: We moeten naar de spelregles kijken. Jij leest...

MOPPIE: Je weet dat ik nog niet kan lezen, maar ik zal het aan Scout (raaen99) vragen.

Misschien is dit toch wel een leuk spel.

  

A new game for a new year. Celestia has been a big hit with the family over Christmas and seemed very apt for the theme. The game starts with a new beginning, all players are aboard an airship waiting for their captain to navigate them through the perils ahead (or you can choose to abandon the captain, take the points and watch them crash and burn).

I was considering doing this black and white with selective colour for the playing pieces to add emphasis to them, but quite like the lighting so left it as colour.

There was a tabletop game components theme in Smile on Saturday this year. I used the geese from this game for that challenge and it turned out, that a lot of you have goose figurines like these. I looked after the goose game and learned, that this game has a lot of different variations around the world. This board belongs to the hungarian version.

Since the weather this week is less than desirable and I have not much interest in shooting nature until it warms up which is next week!. I'm fed up with winter. I had enough. So this week I plan on focusing on dice and playing cards as my subject for fun this week.

 

I was taking a shot of this dice and of course my cat saw it and he sniffed it as I took this shot and it surely ended up on the floor! Haha.

Goblins aren't the tallest of creatures, but they'll absolutely take every advantage they can get or build.

‘Pick Up Sticks by Su_G’: My entry in Spoonflower's 'Game Night' Design Challenge. (mockup c/o Spoonflower)

Original: Line art.

A game of nerves and manual dexterity! The object is to pick up the most sticks from a bundle that's been dropped in a close and tangled pile: the more tangled, the more challenging. In the version I last played the black stick was a special stick: once extricated you could use it to pick up other sticks. Different colours scored different nos. of points.

 

The link for voting will be www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=574 - open for one week only. There are 518 entries so far. Voting could be fun - I've already seen tons of excellent designs!

Gobguz 'the Shiny', most feared of the Goblin Warlords in all of Middle Zealand (at least in his mind) surveyed the battlefield from his vantage point at the top of the hill.

 

With his troops amassed below him he felt confident that they would definitely win the battle this time. Or at least cause the humans to think twice before trying to claim Goblin tribal lands again. Looking to his left and right, he nodded with satisfaction at the group of chariots around him. It had cost him a personal fortune to get these made and privately he often wondered if he was doing the right thing. Neither the chariots nor the hounds pulling them had come cheap.

 

Now, however, on the brink of battle, he knew without doubt that they were going to be worth every gold shell he had to paid."

 

"So, are the wolves ready, Catsnot?" he asked his driver.

 

"Yes Boss," was the cautious reply, "but..."

 

"BUT?!" Gobguz barked.

 

"...well, its just that Gazgob the Wizard said that we should, you know, kinda wait with the rest of the lads here on the hill like... Until the humans come closer to us... Until they start marching up the hill."

 

"Bah..." the Warlord spat, "that meddling mess of mumbo jumbo has no idea about proper fighting. He spends all his time sat on that big spider of his, away from the action. No, Catsnot... we're not waiting for my brother. Never have, never will. We're going... now..."

 

"Now?"

 

"Yeah, Now... It's what our big ugly cousins do... You don't see Ugglug and his armoured orcs sit around on their boars picking their noses do you? No... and nor will we. So move!"

 

A quick dig into Catsnot's ribs was all that was needed to get his chariot rolling slowly down the hill. The squeak of wheels and chorus of menacing howls around him signalled that the rest of his lads were already getting the rest of the chariots moving.

 

Gobguz smiled. It was going to turn out nice again.

Why limit yourself to one world, when you can have them all? Infinite realities in infinite variations. That's the wonder and freedom that you can experience with the many worlds open to you through tabletop gaming.

 

My personal favorite TTRPG is Dungeons & Dragons. The game relies on a combination of shared storytelling and dice rolls to determine the outcomes of the various interactions you'll have throughout the game. While D&D relies on a lot of different types of dice, the most important one for that particular game is the one pictured: the d20.

In the description of my previous photo ( www.flickr.com/photos/133750589@N08/22812404132/in/photos... ) I mentioned my idea to combine the Lego hobby with a Star Wars Roleplay campaign (usingFantasy Flight Games' Edge of Empire system).

 

The idea is to use Lego Minfigires, sets and builds to represent the characters and the settings.

 

In my previous photo I showed my Bounty Hunter character, today I'm going to share with you an image of a droid character.

 

In the Edge of Empire starter game there is a droid character who wears a sort of mask ( he is a sort of med expert) but since I don't have a better part to represent it I used that "cloth" piece.

 

There are three more characters and I'll upload them soon :)

 

May the Brick be with You :)

What could be more reminiscent of steam than train games?

Well, with this week being themed about ourselves, I thought I would share my love of strategy games with you all. We play loads of games, it beats the hell out of staring at a screen and there are some really great ones out there! Things have moved on a LOT since Monopoly, there is a game out there for everyone!
