No one makes zine games to get rich. But I want to bring joy to as many people as possible. So I've worked to get Friendly Local Game Stores and Local Book Shops to carry our games.

Here's what I've learned so far:

1. 📚 DESIGN FOR RETAIL
This is my FLGS's zine section. What do you see?
1/▶️
A croweded bookshelp top with two zine racks. The rest of the merchandise is shelved sideways. Several of the front-facing books don't have titles visible. Many of the books don't have spines, so their titles are not visible either.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

@cmalexaaviles.bsky.social handed out these awesome little stickers with QR codes for what to do if ICE comes.

Here's the website it points to: www.immi.org/en/Home/make...
Alexa Avilés speaks into a hot pink bullhorn while holding up red stickers with immigration info on them. Close of the red sticker - it says "BE READY FOR ICE RAIDS / SCAN TO MAKE A PLAN" The QR code leads to https://www.immi.org/en/Home/make-a-plan

Phantasmic is coming to our wallet line on Black Friday! A 2-3 player magical bluffing / dueling game by @marcelineleiman.bsky.social, with illustrations by Federico McNeil. It’s our first time working with both and the whole experience has been extremely charming.

"To be accused of speaking too loudly about one injustice but not others by someone who doesn't care about any of them is to be told, simply, to keep quiet."

Omar El Akkad, ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS
Photo of a page from Omar El Akkad's ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS that reads: The obvious charge of hypocrisy looms over this work, always. Refrain from engaging with one organization because of its ties to a genocide but not the uncountable number of other organizations who do as well? Call for divestment from fossil fuel companies and yet still use electricity? Agitate for a better world in any way and yet continue to exist within it? The purpose of this kind of accusation is never moral concern. To be accused of speaking too loudly about one injustice but not others by someone who doesn't care about any of them is to be told, simply, to keep quiet.

We do! The term is "game night."
Reddit post: “Does the community have a term for when you have a game night and no one except the host is focused on the game?”

Gen Con can be so overwhelming, and then sometimes a nice person offers you a colorful keychain for teaching them a game 🤗

@czechgames.com made a disappointing decision in creating a Harry Potter board game. As a trans person, I am really hurt by this and infuriated youtu.be/OYMlTlqw-3M

Reviewers including No Pun Included and Shut Up & Sit Down are boycotting Codenames publisher CGE for releasing a new Harry Potter-themed game while ignoring JK Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric:

boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...
A blue box to the left with four sillhouette-style humans, each notably wearing wizard-like robes from the Harry Potter universe. The box says Codenames and Back to Hogwarts on it, with Harry Potter in golden letters at the bottom. To the right, a cartoon astronaut head in a Harry Potter scarf winks, a variation of the logo of board game publisher Czech Games Edition.

How cool would it be for a pride line to come out for board gaming each June?? Been feeling left behind as a trans person in my country so I made a video about it as it relates to board gaming. Wearing Joy Is A Protest shirt by @fightinabox.bsky.social youtu.be/A9Wx1vNg7oQ?...

This is so horrific I can’t even imagine how terrifying this was
A U.S.-born citizen who was wrestled into the dirt, handcuffed and detained in a vehicle as part of an immigration raid had a REAL ID on him that was dismissed as fake, the man's cousin said Friday. Video of the arrest, aired by Noticias Tele-mundo, showed authorities grabbing Leonardo Garcia Venegas, 25, while at a job site in Foley, Alabama, on Wednesday and bending his arms behind him. Someone off-camera can be heard yelling, "He's a citizen."
