Tom showing why he’s the best at what he does. A masterwork of a review for a masterwork of a game. Board games have never been better.
Huge congrats to the lovely team at @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social.

Oh boy, if it isn’t that time of year again! Tom’s gone and gotten himself addicted to a giant, knotty board game again. Please wish him a speedy recovery.

Strange Games in the heart of Sussex. My fave event of the year. Camping + gaming shouldn’t work, but it DOES!

The Old King’s Crown. A game of richly textured strategic manoeuvres that ultimately result in card play that’s as taut as razor wire around your throat. Lovely stuff.

As someone who came into the tabletop gaming space through discovering reviews in video game media, this move from Polygon is terrifically sad.
I am no longer with Polygon, my home for nearly 13 years. I am proud of what my colleagues and I have accomplished over that period, and I am especially proud of the role the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social played in it all. Organize. Now. I am immediately available for hire.
