Yikes. Assembling quotes for a reprint of a $40 MSRP board game. The latest to come in is a US printer with a price over $18 per copy. (If $40 is the MSRP, then we are actually getting 40% of that amount when we sell to distributors, or $16, and we pay the cost of shipping to them.)

Poll: Finnish publisher Lautapelit.fi has a couple of large games in its catalog (Agemonia & Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy), and with shipments nearly ready for the U.S., it's wondering how a 20% tariff will affect potential buyers. Let them know: boardgamegeek.com/thread/3472668 —WEM

I've submitted several game designs to publishers in the past weeks. I have been told that they will get back to me in about 10 days from today. But I'm so curious about their thoughts. I would love to listen to their discussions. I suck at waiting! Oh, the waiting.

@eanderssonsunden.bsky.social played whirling witchcraft today FINALLY its such a good little game!!

My latest project is a deck builder civilization game. Yes, there might be a few already... question is if I can make it different and interesting enough?

Preparing for tomorrows play test. The next iteration of my cardbased civ game and @eanderssonsunden.bsky.social next version of Craters is on the menu.

Some more photos from the Consid event.

Had a great play test evening with @eanderssonsunden.bsky.social Tested my latest iteration of "World in Flux" a Civ deckbuilder with some twists. Then we tried Eriks Craters, both games kept its pace, although there are some tweaking to make them shine.

I had a great time at Consid Linköping yesterday, celebrating their 50th board game night. I was invited to talk about board game design, my experiences and my games. Great audience with a lot of questions and a lot of games played 🕺🏾 Thank you Stefan Vidlund for the invitation!

I wrote this piece a few years describing a powerful metaphor for why 'fairness' can be unfair and need a guiding hand to correct. It becomes more relevant every day, sadly. gametek.substack.com/p/unfair-fai...
