Badageetchy
Unwind with friends and family during a round of Badageetchy. In this silly strategy board game, your goal is to become the richest business piggy in a competitive landscape.
To play, you’ll need to invest in the off-the-wall shops in the market, hoping to be invited into Badageetchy: The Mall of Laryn B. Gitis. There, you can buy the ultimate status symbol, the useless unicycle. The player who gets 3 first wins.
Imaginative, with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor, this is one of our favorite unique board games. It’s a fun pastime for ages 10 and up.
Preorder it for $45 on Kickstarter.
FlipDie
Rolling traditional dice during a tabletop RPG sort of breaks the spell. It takes you out of the imaginative world and reminds you that you are, in fact, playing a game. But what if your dice played along with your story? The FlipDie does.
A die that you flip like a coin, this accessory is always balanced and fair. Its robust metal design and coin shape immerse you in your game. It’s just what your character would use when playing for chance.
