Logged my first solo game of Great Western Trail. Endured some gentle ribbing for playing alone. Perhaps it was because I was talking to myself in a drawl like a cowboy. 🤠

My 8 year old asked to play @allplay.bsky.social Sail yesterday. Not one to discourage any gameplay, we embarked and … we died. She called it complicated but fun! Any recommendations for more kid-friendly trick takers?

Love when fantasy novels give you detailed maps, the genealogy of characters, a glossary of alien terms, but can’t be bothered to tell you how to pronounce the names of the main characters.

Family prefers coop games so I picked up @oinkgames.bsky.social Order Overload: Cafe at #PaxUnplugged. The memory game is a big hit. Still don’t know what a Mille Crepe is though. 🤔

You can make your games whatever you want them to be. There are no rules other than the ones you set upon them and yourself. What's the point of making something if it's not truly what you want to make? Even if your goal is to make a major beloved product, don't forget to put some soul into it.

An excellent reason to break the rules! I, too, did some damage at Saashi and Saashi booth.

Went to #PaxUnplugged. Playtested a bunch of games. Had a bunch of great conversations. Bought a bunch of great games. Took zero photos, naturally.

Just backed the cute and clever print and play Fly for Pie. Played it at a recent @protospielo.bsky.social and enjoyed. www.kickstarter.com/projects/der...

Did my best to play some games at Thanksgiving. Got though one game of @25thcentury.games Mojo and half a game of @oinkgames.bsky.social Scout. My mom, a bridge life master, was overwhelmed and quit after 5 minutes. 😩

Anyone else put a moratorium on board game purchases to make you feel better about the anticipated haul at Pax Unplugged? So much temptation though …

Looking for a home! To the Dogs is a cozy card drafting game about matching stray dogs with their perfect homes. 2-minute pitch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JIc... Sell sheet: drive.google.com/file/d/1J_Br...
