Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

The Six of VIII and many more New Mill games featured in this new video from Board Game Animal.

Timely if you're thinking about holiday gifts, or getting a lot of game play in smaller boxes/with a smaller budget.

Aber Hallo! has been very hard to find, especially on this side of the pond. I'm very excited that it will now be available again, as RoboKraft.

Preorders available soon from www.newmillindustries.com

This is the first New Mill game from a German designer, and we're excited to be breathing new life into this very cool design from 25 years ago! I love the robots that Rob designed and I think he knocked the art and design out of the park.

Wow! What an amazing delivery! Thank you so much to New Mill Games for this great package of trick-taking/shedding games for review. Can't wait to play them - and, of course, review them in due course. I feel very honoured. 😊👍 @dnlnwmn.bsky.social

This came across my timeline and reminded me of a painting I did 30 years ago...
Painting of a blue sky with clouds, buildings in the distance, a country road on the left that goes behind a telephone pole, a field with wildflowers, and a gravel driveway that cuts across the front. 1995.

The next batch of New Mill preorders are set to launch a week from tomorrow. It feels so soon after I sent out the July preorders, but that was because I delayed a month due to those pesky tariff issues. However, for scheduling reasons, I need to still launch Oct. 1.

So...get hyped!

@propublica.org does great work with less. They could do more if people shifted dollars from corporate media to nonprofit accountability journalism.
