Cross Bronx Expressway from @gmtgames.bsky.social was on the table for the first time at the club today. It was a group loss in the 1970s as the South Bronx collapsed into disenfranchisement. Many lessons learned and we’re looking to a replay soon.

The club has long been an incubator of new ideas and games. Yesterday was a big first playtest of a new WWI game. Each unit is a corps, so each player controls two armies in the beginning and an army group by the end.
