I design, develop and publish boardgames. I listen to handmade music of many kinds - mostly guitar-driven. I used to like football a lot. I try to live an inclusive life style. Trying to never stop learning. Hoping to be an ally.🏳️‍🌈

How could this happen? Here in Germany, employees have employment contracts that contain clauses that prevent exactly that. Is it different in the US?

Root and Arcs publisher Leder Games has axed its next Kickstarter campaign just a few weeks before its expected launch, after the game’s creator abruptly left the publisher and took his design with him:

boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...
Cartoon-like illustration of four people in a getaway card, three inside and one on the roof. They are being pursued at a distance by a police car. The word TAKE is visible in large white letters in the top left, below much smaller text which says 'from the studio that brought you ROOT and ARCS'. Illustration for Take, the planned Kickstarter from Leder Games which has now been cancelled. Head and upper body photograph of a man with light blonde/ginger hair and short ginger beard, smiling at the camera. He is wearing a red zip-up hoodie, where the logo for Leder Games is visible. Copied of Leder Games board game titles including Root and Vast are visible on shelves in the background. Ted Caya, designer of the heist board game Take.

Barbecubes Veggie (The Game Builders) is such a fun game even if you're normally not really into dexterity games! It looks so cute, and as a vegetarian I'm very happy @odedot.bsky.social gifted us the Veggie version 💚

Auf einem Soldatenfriedhof in Margraten (Niederlande, Provinz Limburg) sind durch die Trump-Regierung zwei Plaketten entfernt worden, die an das Schicksal Schwarzer Soldaten im Zweiten Weltkrieg erinnern sollten.

Donald #Trump greift den #US-amerikanischen Rechtsstaat an. Nirgends zeigt sich das deutlicher als in den Gängen eines Gerichts in New York. Die Regierung lässt Einwanderer nach routinemäßigen Terminen verhaften – und entlässt Richter, die nicht spuren. Eine Reportage.
So arbeitet Trumps Abschiebemaschine
Wer dieses Einwanderungsgericht am 26 Federal Plaza in New York betritt, kann nicht wissen, ob er als freier Mensch wieder herauskommt.

"Suna Valo" von @odedot.bsky.social kam bei uns sehr gut an. Tolles Spiel für zwei in der wunderbaren Welt "Overgrown". Schon probiert? Oder "Planta Nubo"gespielt? Oder die Bücher gelesen? Ich mag einfach alles daran.

Vor einiger Zeit hatte ich das Vergnügen #ChristianVonAster kennenzulernen und sein Spiel "The Boxing Kraken" zu testen. Ein chaotisches, spaßiges Hauen und Stechen in einem "Ich denke, dass du denkst"-Spiel.

Jetzt gibt es das Spiel auf #Startnext!

This week we've played Solarius Mission with @odedot.bsky.social! Always fun playing a game with one of the designers, even if it means they will beat you (on a tiebreaker) 😃 Thanks for teaching and the fun game day!

Verdiente Niederlage für den Bayer im ersten Spiel. Hoffenheim richtig gut eingespielt, wunderbar kombiniert, mit viel Einsatz. Beim Bayer wird der Aufbau eines neuen Teams noch dauern. Der Umbruch ist zu krass. #Bayer04 #B04TSG #Bundesliga
