Burned is a terrific two-player hidden-movement game. It has a new Gamecrafter campaign that's launching today, and you should absolutely take a look! Here's hoping third time's the charm. And shoutout to @sowronggames.bsky.social for putting it on my radar.

Burned Game Review – Meeple Mountain
Burned reduces hidden movement into a tight, tense, twenty-minute experience for two players. Read more in this Meeple Mountain review.

Many new games! INK, Guildlands, No Loose Ends, and more in our new episode! We also talk about tile-laying games, a genre we love. Perhaps most importantly, we address the conclusion of Fat Bear Week.

First looks at SILOS and Ichor by Reiner Knizia (who?), as well as Fabio Lopiano's latest co-design Ayar: Children of the Sun! Plus, a wide-ranging discussion of nostalgia and how it impacts our hobby lives.

New episodes! We are spoiled for choice in terms of excellent hobbyist trick-taking games, so we talk about some of our recent favourites. Solo, co-op, two-player, what can't trick-taking do?

Our official response:
Last night, the organizers of the trans boycott of CGE read with delight CGE’s third public announcement related to the publishing of content that actively harms trans rights globally. Their long awaited apology is very welcome, as is their alignment with trans rights as human rights. In this moment where our legal rights are under attack more than ever, such a statement is fundamental. We also recognise and appreciate their commitment to donate 100% of the profits of this game and look forward to working with them to help repair the relationship with their trans fans and to build new relationships with the trans movement in Czechia. We completely understand that many trans people are still hurt and don’t yet feel safe in this environment. The way that CGE initially responded to the problem, blocking hundreds of trans people, created an enormous amount of pain and mistrust. It will take time to build those relationships back again. We do not see this as a perfect situation. We would have hoped that by now, all of our favourite publishers would have known not to publish something that puts money in the pockets of someone who is trying to destroy our right to a peaceful and equal existence. But now that we are in this situation, and now that CGE is listening, let us turn to the job of making our own magical world: a board game hobby space that cherishes and protects all of the people in it, including the trans ones.
