Hear me out: an Indiana Jones reboot with Jensen Ackles

Playing Darwin’s Journey like

Exhausted Friends Slowly Realize They Were Playing Board Game Wrong Entire 6 Hours

Cascadia is one of my faves and I just bought it for my ipad and CANNOT STOP PLAYING. Great implementation!

I don’t think my cats understand how treadmills work

Nothing will make you feel sillier about walking/running on a treadmill than your cat just meowing incessantly at you while you do it. I imagine her going “what in the world are you doing. are you ok?”

I had some feelings about this tile. Which I drew two turns in a row.

Questlove talking about Taylor Swift at his Uno parties: “Taylor actually… when she first played uno, she took it to levels of excitement that I didn’t know that one could do in uno game.”

Taylor was robbed. TTPD is her best album and she’s the biggest artist right now. Booooo

I love Dorfromantik (in this case: Sakura)!! Super excited to start this campaign (pictured is from game 1, so no real spoilers).

Oh hey, real quick before I go for the next couple of days, one more thing. Particularly for my trans siblings. Live. If it’s on prayer or spite or foolish hope or for someone who loves you or for a future you can’t see yet. Live.

Not proud of it but I can be a sore loser when someone wins a board game going “I had no idea what I was doing” 😅 OKAY, WELL I THOUGHT I DID BUT APPARENTLY NOT

Me with almost any board game I play: wow this would be great on BGA

Begging designers/publishers/whatever to put a scoring example in their rulebooks. I know lots (thankfully) do it, but not all…

I just googled “when are you middle aged” so that’s where I’m at

LOOK

I couldn’t agree more. So, are we all finally ready to stop supporting FryxGames (Terraforming Mars, etc) 🙃

Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

Good week for board gaming. Strike and Skull King is always a blast. Was finally able to play Fromage physically, still a very unique game. Aand got to play Foundations of Rome on TSim. Very tense game hahah. Was also happy to get to play Libertalia again

Just had my first official driving lesson.. feels like I’m never gonna be able to drive lol

I love Bantam West. But I struggle with having to teach people the Introductory game first before I can jump into the more complicated (but way more fun) Shadow Governors mode. I know I’ll overwhelm them otherwise but I also run the risk of the game being less fun for them this way

The Guild of Merchant Explorers is in beta on BGA!!

We love that @matthewdunstan.bsky.social and @stoichamster.bsky.social (and maybe others?) share what their income looks like. It helps to protect new designers that now know they should check if contract includes things like royalties for digital editions.

Just remember kids: when you have a job interview, there’s a nonzero chance that the interviewer in front of you forgot to put on a bra that morning, had to cycle for an hour to go get one and then got hosed by rain and hail. All before your interview. We’re only human, too 🙃

First physical game of 2025: Saltfjord. Very fun puzzle but I’m apparently terrible at it hahah. Got completely destroyed. Twice.
