I understand this was a risky strategy and that it it might be just me and 2 other people chatting on Mondays #BoardGameHour but I think it is worth the risk and I want to explain why. I believe that we have a strong community who are both smart and have very interesting ideas. I also believe that there are a lot of board game related topics out there that are not often touched upon, because they are seen as unpopular. I feel that sometimes we should really take a good look at some of these and see why they are so disliked as a rule.
Just so you know, the winner with 56% and the topic for this weeks #BoardGameHour was "Sports Games".
I hear you shout; "but I don't like sport, what will we talk about that could be interesting to me?". Well my response is that I don't like farming but I enjoy Agicola. I defiantly don't like the idea of war, or killing people, but I like war games. Anyway, my point is, lets talk about this on Monday ;0)
So what is
#BoardGameHour?
#boardgamehour takes place on twitter once a week. It's a
virtual hangout for people who either love board games or want to know more
about the hobby.
So the big question is how does #boardgamehour work?
It's simple, to join in during the hour, all you need to do
is add the #boardgamehour hash-tag to your tweets. To see what everyone else is
saying just search for #boardgamehour! It can be even easier than that too, see
below ;0)
Each week we have a general topic, that you vote on and I,
using @boardgamehour will post questions to help guide the discussion. Side
conversation are always welcome as this is a virtual forum for you to chat with
other gamers, I only try to make it as smooth and easy as possible :0)
Making #boardgamehour
easier!
To make this live Twitter discussion easier, I have made a
room on Nurph.com which we can all use. All you have to do is make sure you are
logged into Twitter then go to http://nurph.com/BoardGameHour/chats and log in,
using your Twitter account. You don't have to use this, everything will be the
same as normal, but if you do us Nurph, it acts like a chat room for twitter
and add the Hashtag automatically :0)
For one hour every week, it's time to talk nothing but board
games. #boardgamehour happens across the western world Every Monday - start
times are:
11am in L.A,
