What joy to be in a room of talented people playing your game and reading what you wrote, while talking about fucking a Prius named Shania and chanting “Bus! Bus! Bus!” for religious reasons.

Hooray it's been announced! For all you giant game sickos out there.
Bring more crooks to the table with The Gang: More Players, coming from KOSMOS in early 2026. Do you think you can sort up to ten poker hands with minimal information in order from low to high? If so, this expansion is for you!

Rich friends telling you to quit your job and follow your passion are like Immortan Joe telling his followers not to get addicted to water. If that makes sense.

Tried out Wrasslevania with @9thlevelgames.bsky.social at Game Kastle and had a blast playing wrestler Helena Cell until she was ripped apart by Ultra Dracula. Plus, got to get my copies of Thunder Road RPG and preview the dice car.

Has any trick-taking game done cards with suit, rank, and point value indexed clearly and usably (in terms of UI design)?

I just finished reading ON TYRANNY by @timothysnyder.bsky.social, a great primer about how to deal with encroaching fascism. It’s a quick and easy read, and you should all check it out.

It's just people buying more games than they can reasonably pay.
I suspect the actual answer is none of the below. It's just too easy to acquire new board games from a vast selection. Just like many people have dozens and dozens of un- and barely-played games on Steam.
A well known board game designer told me the majority of new games get played ONCE and I have a big problem w/ that. I get that not everything can be a hit, but I feel like something must be missing from design in general if this is happening. Rushed designs? Poor rulebooks? Bad visual design?

Played a 5 player game of Thunder Road Vendetta Maximum Chrome from @restorationgames.bsky.social and just had 4 players eliminated simultaneously due to Quake...it's the first time our group has ever clapped for an ending of a game. That was hilarious, the 5th player...me... was KO'd just before.

Sometimes when I see peers criticizing high production value games I feel a bit defensive… but then I see posts like this and I feel an immense pride that I work with people who create memories. Moments of emotion shared over a table with friends. Wow. It’s humbling and inspiring.

Just got out of a screening of the new 4k Ultra release. First time seeing this elusive beast and loved it! Such a weird and creepy version of Big G and the political satire was delicious. You might have one day left to catch this on the big screen in your area.
