Hey. Hey you guys. :)

1/

Okay, here is the thing...there is a backlog of games that have been sent to my #MagicPorch, and I don't want to get behind so I am going to do some shorter ones once in a while to catch up for #TableTopGails!

WOOT! So this is just a couple things, but FUN!.

2/

MINI-EPISODE OF #TableTopGails!

3/

Woot!

Oh, man, fun stuff...this will be quick!

Okay, first, the lovely folks at @wizkidsgames sent these gorgeous painted Pathfinder minis...I enjoy painting minis but I stink at it and am very slow. So we love these PATHFINDER BATTLES minis...look how purty!

4/

Look at some close-ups here...beautiful sculpts and amazing paintings.

All these minis come out in June, and can be ordered at shop.WizKids.com.

5/

Close up of some of the PATHFINDER BATTLES minis...I want to play ‘em!

6/

Next we have the much anticipated next wave of D&D ICONS OF THE REALMS, wave 6.

I can’t believe how much pre-painted minis have improved over the past few years. These are stunning, in foil boxes. Wow. Look! Also f4om @wizkidsgames!

7/

Some up close...thank you, @wizkidsgames

Next is something really entertaining, we can’t stop playing it. Despite winning awards, I think it has been flying under the radar. It’s called @therankgame, and for just a fun, quick game that will make you laugh out loud every time, I can’t recommend it enough.

9/

The publisher, @ChipBrown, says that he created the game to foster communication, and I can definitely see it used in schools, but we have had a blast playing just the two of us. The idea is simple and the content is wholesome and fun. Lots of expansions!

One person takes a card with four related items, and Ryan’s them from best to worst, everyone else guesses what the RANKER chose.

It’s so simple, you can be playing in under a minute, but somehow, it’s just hysterically funny.

11/

I put a few examples of the cards in the previous tweet...try it with a friend, you will be amazed at how wrong your assumptions can be!

We love it...and again, it’s wholesome, even the ‘risqué’ deck is pretty PG at best. :)

From @storyastic, @therankgame, recommended!

Okay, last, and SO COOL, is this deckbuilding game from @PlayRenegade, POWER RANGERS, THE DECKBUILDING GAME.

I’ve spoken about the excellence of their PR stuff.. I mean, gorgeous design and artwork. This is brand new...

13/

I don’t think it’s even out yet, I believe pre-orders are just getting theirs now, maybe?

It looks fantastic.

I have never played a deck-building game, but this will get me started.

14/

Okay, as I say every time, I am a newcomer to the TTG hobby. Some people welcomed me in and it did wonders for my family’s mental health.

I do not get paid to do this, I have turned down every offer of monetization. I am doing it because I think others could also benefit.

15

So I urge you, if you can to take a look through #TabletopGails, see if you find a game that looks fun, and grab it. Lots of libraries have games to lend, and their are second-hand sellers all over the place. It might bring you some joy!

16/

Thank you

Have a lovely, happy day, everyone!

Also, Cyclops sucks!
