I never thought this would happen... I entered the top 100 wargames on @boardgamegeek.com with Gest. Thanks so much to @joedewhurst.bsky.social for helping me make this game actually good, Chechu and Robert for making it look awesome, and @gmtgames.bsky.social for believing in me.

So far the most innovative and fun Wargame of the year for me. And it's not designed by a Wargame designer 🤔

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai. Truly one of the greatest of all time. Incredible in Harakiri, The Face of Another and Ran, among so many others.

J'avais imaginé des voitures volantes petit pour quand je serais "vieux".

Pas devoir rappeler au gens de pas manger de la terre, que les vaccins c'est ok, que le nazisme non et que se mettre de l'ail dans la chatte pas top.

En ce 11 novembre, je poste ce monument aux morts de la commune de Gentioux dans la Creuse
Maudite soit la guerre
un monument aux morts classique dans sa forme (obélisque avec les noms des morts de 14-18) mais sur lequel a aussi été gravé Maudite soit la guerre, cependant qu'une statue d'enfant regarde la liste des noms et l'inscription, le poing fermé dans la direction de l'inscription

Then I saw @candidrum.bsky.social setting up A Very Civil Whist. She was kind enough to let me kibitz and learn through osmosis. I kickstarted it based solely on the card art, but @fredserval.bsky.social has done a remarkable job of twisting trick-taking into a compelling 2-player historical game!

My wife played A Very Civil. Whist for the first time. Her review: "surprisingly I didn't dislike it, your best game so far, though I really disliked the other two."
Heartwarming 😅

The latest version of A Very Civil Whist by @fredserval.bsky.social has finally arrived. As you can see, the small box is packed to the brim. It's even worth it for those who already own the Freebee version.
The image shows the components of two different editions of the board game “A Very Civil Whist” by Fred Serval displayed on a wooden surface. On the left side, framed in blue, is the Phalanx 2025 edition, and on the right side, framed in red, is the freebie version from PunchedCON 2023.

A celebration of the Summit Award, highlighting board games that matter and push the boundaries (like past winners by @fredserval.bsky.social and @downtowntbrown.bsky.social), and what winning it for an anti-fascist game like Land and Freedom means in this climate. sdhist.com/alex-knight-...

In early 2023 @fredserval.bsky.social made a game we could give away at PunchedCON. I enjoyed the game, and @domhnallh.bsky.social art so much, I convinced @phalanxgames.bsky.social to publish it. And here it is. Excellent production by PHALANX as always. Can't wait to play it again!
