Once You Board, You Return Every Year

International board game designers, creators, and attendees share why Kriativos On Board stays with you long after docking.

“Nós adoramos o evento! O Kriativos On Board chegou de forma inovadora e kriativa! É muito legal você estar em um cruzeiro, com tudo o que ele oferece e ainda poder ter a opção com diversos jogos de tabuleiro à disposição! Inclusive com lançamentos! E o melhor, com uma monitoria especializada! Tudo estava super bem organizado, com diversos sorteios e gente bacana! Vale muito a pena conhecer e ter essa experiência incrível!”

Eric e Isa @turnobgames

“Estar nesse evento foi um sonho, estar em uma viagem incrível, com ótima comida à vontade, shows, piscina e muito mais, com pessoas que compartilham o mesmo hobby que você, e poder jogar vários tipos de jogos diferentes 24 horas por dia, foi mágico, surreal de bom! Foram dias incríveis onde fiz muitos amigos novos.”

Day e Fran @qeojogo

“É muito bom estar em um lugar onde todos são do hobby. Conhecemos pessoas, jogamos, comemos bem e tudo isso viajando para um lugar maravilhoso! Percebemos o carinho de todos que realizaram o Kriativos on Board 2023 e já estamos com as malas prontas para o próximo!”

Thais e Luis @viajanerd_

“O Kriativos On Board foi uma experiência muito mais surpreendente do que eu poderia esperar. Nunca tinha feito um cruzeiro e não apenas aproveitei o navio em si, a estrutura que ele ofereceu, mas também compartilhei essa experiência com as pessoas que o evento trouxe, jogando e curtindo sem preocupações.”

Carol e Gusta @gambiarraboardgames

“Estar presente no evento ao lado de pessoas como Vital Lacerda, Lucy, Doffa, produtores de conteúdo, editoras e jogadores de todo o Brasil foi uma experiência fantástica. A equipe da organização fez um trabalho excepcional antes, durante e depois do evento, o que me fez sentir especial e perceber que o evento foi marcante na história do hobby no Brasil. Estar rodeado de pessoas durante o evento me fez entender que uma das melhores coisas em nosso hobby são as amizades que fazemos ao jogar.”

Renato Braga @bgzosp

“Jogos e cruzeiro são duas coisas que eu amo muito! Agora, ter o privilégio dessas duas coisas ao mesmo tempo NÃO TEM PREÇO! Foi isso que o Kriativos on Board pôde me proporcionar. E se você acha que não sobra tempo pra jogar, você está MUUUITO enganado! Foram três dias que passaram num piscar, com muito jogo, muita risada, festa, comida e bebida! Com toda certeza um dos melhores eventos do nicho!”
