Hey Bluesky, we're Ambie (@ambierona.bsky.social) and Crystal (@crystaldax.bsky.social)! We started the first all-women-hosted board game podcast in 2016 and we put out a new episode every two weeks. We also make YouTube videos and sometimes live stream. Add us if you like board games!
We've got a new shirt design on our merch store for Valentine's Day! It's the Blitz meeples (Ambie's blue and Crystal's purple) joining hands to make a heart ❤️
Since it's a new design it's discounted this weekend on TeePublic!
