It’s a little bit hard spreading board game fever in Indonesia. Despite the expensive price, there aren’t many board game stores here. And board gaming is not kind of hobby that can be showed off and boast around like the overpriced ugly plant anthurium. Also there are no such thing as “board game show” like the cat show or dog show. It’s about gathering and having fun together with a little bit of competition.
From my experience, it’s not hard to find someone to play with. I can play board game with my family, my friends, my boyfriend.. The hardest part is to make them want to buy board games too. ALL of my friends rely on my board games collection. It’s different when you discussed a game with fellow gamers-collectors or with fellow gamers-only.
Wondering when there will be a board game exhibition or convention in Indonesia
*sigh*

i heard that citadel was good. For the risk-type game i have DUST. Both are quite similar, but i think DUST has more twists than risk

Hi, does anyone knows where to get the plastics card sleeves in Bandung for card game like Citadels? Thanks in advance…

Hello Erick! Well, excluding Blue Moon and War of the Ring, all of my games’ card components were covered with plastic sleeves. When I ordered those games, I asked the seller to include the sleeves also…
So if I want to buy the sleeves, usually i will contact board games seller and then he will ship it to Bandung.
