Working on some copy for Venture. I would love to get feedback. Thoughts? The galaxy is alive with innovation! An interstellar renaissance is unfolding as alien civilizations share their specialized knowledge, sparking incredible advancements in science and industry.

I played my first 4-player game of Venture with the Alien expansion today. I can’t wait to play again! This is a really fun game. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39...

We just tested the Alien expansion for Venture and it was crazy fun! The combos were insane, but now I'm wondering if that's what people prefer. Do you prefer expansions to have crazy synergistic combinations that break all the rules, or do you prefer an amped up but more consistent experience?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
