We Make Fun!
One of our favorites. We prefer live plays but the BGA version is very smooth. It’s up for a BGA award this year.
Got a couple games of Guild of Merchant Explorers by @matthewdunstan.bsky.social and @alderaceg.bsky.social in with 3 new players tonight. It was a big hit for everyone.

This is an amazing Trilogy of games. We LOVED Point Salad so much we campaigned the Flatout Games designers to be able to get AEG to publish it. Our quest to publish Point Salad is our partnerships origin story.

Our good friend and designer of Tiny Towns Peter Mcpherson has a new game launching today. He made a wonderful Tiny Towns promo to go with it. Great designer and great new product. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cam...

Great way to end a weekend of gaming.
And as the finale to an awesome week of gaming, we did a three player game of Knitting Circle. Have generally been a big fan of the @alderaceg.bsky.social / @flatoutgames.bsky.social puzzly tile laying games, and this is no exception. Actually ended up enjoying this one more than I expected to.

Love Letter is now officially in the BoardGameGeek Hall of Fame, and we couldn’t be prouder of the designers, players, and fans who we got to play with over the years.

Thank you for all the letters sent. #boardgame

As beautiful and cozy as Calico. Challenging but not quite as mean.

We are just excited to be partnered with @flatoutgames.bsky.social they really made the magic happen. It’s an amazing game. We can not wait for Cascadia Alpine Lakes we have been playing it with them for years. It’s a wonderful new Cascadia game.

It is a very clever game. We are fans of unique push your luck mechanics. This is another game by the design team at Flatout Games not as flashy as the Point series games but it quietly makes it to the table quite a bit.
Ten from @alderaceg.bsky.social still consistently gets to our table. This push your luck card game has you revealing cards until you keep or bust going over 10.

As I worked on figuring out how the contents will all fit in our new game #WordWipe ‘s box It reminded me of the humble beginning of #L5R. Photo copied cards on paper glued to boxes. I still put pencil to paper to figure things out others do with tech. Do you have photo’s of your analog WIP 🎲✂️

Wow those are some amazing projects and the cover for a few of them are 🔥🔥🔥. #DingDing can’t wait for Shock Tactics and the other Fun Factory projects to come in.

#DingDing. Fun Factory approved.
Here's my #BGStats for 2025. The smaller number is without BGA games. I play TIGOME, Flowers, ans Draft & Write records solo almost every morning. 😂

All true we have been playing and loving their games since Point Salad. The game is great BEEPLES are just a bonus.
Did some bee things in @alderaceg.bsky.social and @flatoutgames.bsky.social newest, Propolis. Has the familiar Molly, Robert and Shawn DNA but with some worker placement and adorable beeples.

Guess my name? Will I be joining your team #Assemble #BigGameNight 2026.

One of our favorite designers always has knowledge to drop. It was strange year for sure but we are excited about 2026.
My first video looking back at 2025 - this one focussed on the state of the board game industry and what it means for designers.

A very happy holiday season to everyone!

Their games are so good. We will probably pick up Dune and call it a “work” expense.
Merry Christmas! We hope your holiday has been one to remember! As a little gift, Dire Wolf games on mobile platforms are joining in on the Steam Winter Sale discounts starting today and lasting until January 1st!

Sharks and Tornados I wonder where the team came up with those ideas for factions. We love seeing our expansions on these lists but still think it would be great if BGG created a list that was just core games.
December 27, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Love it. Just under the wire. It adds a that little something this time of year. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Waited all year to play a festive game of Undergrove but got it done in time! @elizhargrave.bsky.social @alderaceg.bsky.social #boardgames
