Fantastic video by Pam Walls on the increasing use of AI in board games, and the need (more than ever) to support artists, illustrators and graphic designers in the industry.

Picking up A Place for All My Books tonight at B&N and overheard two people:

1:“Have you introduced your boys to Wingspan yet?”
2:”Uhg! Nooo! I tried to teach them Azul and they couldn’t even understand THAT!”

Boys of Bend, step up your game!

Wyrmspan and Apiary designer Connie Vogelmann has taken the plunge into full-time board game design following the huge success of her first two creations - and the destruction she says is being caused by Donald Trump in her former career as a grants law attorney:

I have been in Europe for almost a month and am now at DAU Barcelona for Devir's 25th anniversary. I have had the great good fortune to hang out with many board gamers and designers on this trip.

And I have heard from them over and over that they are scared to visit the US right now.

@andyhre.bsky.social rules question, if I in a previous month picked up a boarder state recruit in EoC, then traveling back through in another month the other recruit is still available; may I use the Accounting Wizard ability on the second recruit since I have the first one?

Important thread for understanding the next four years impact on the boardgame hobby in the USA.
K! So! We spent this week figuring out how the tariffs, inflation and other bullshit is going to affect business. Time to thread.

For those not in the know, I'm the Director at Hachette Boardgames USA and I import games for foreign publishers and market and sell them in the US.

I’ve been playing the digital implementation of Everdell; loving it. With the Everdell Duo PM closing, I’m eyeing the Complete Edition.
Staving off FOMO, could use some advice @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social. If you could do it all again, go complete? Base game with a few choice ex-pacs?
Go Farshore?
