10 years ago we were tobogganing in snow storms between Christmas and New Year’s.
It’s 10°C and raining.
Like last year.
So fucking depressing.

Mini-rant time.
It bugs me when I see people post comments like this on BGG:
Playtesting is a very challenging thing for publishers. It is HARD to get people to playtest, believe it or not.
When I started in the industry, many moons ago, I thought this would be the easiest part of the job.

The cruelly underrated Tyrants of the Underdark!
A wonderful mix of Area Control with Deckbuilding.
4 'half-decks' mean that you can combine 2 of them to create very different gaming experiences.
Mean, clever, tense, brutal... Everything you want in a game like this!

Spent lunchtime playing this absolute BEAUT.
I've been wanting to play this game again for ages, but haven't been able to get it to the table.
IT'S SO GREAT.

What are some of your favourite boardgame rulebooks?
Organization, graphics, tone…?
I always loved the wackiness of Galaxy Trucker, and the organization of the Arkham Horror Card Game.

Is this just a Montreal thing…?
People are starting to stop further and further back from the line at red lights and it drives me NUTS.
Sometimes it’s a full car-length!!!

Trying to talk myself into getting this back up and running today.
Played once and was a little overwhelmed getting into it.
It’s been a while and the thought of re-learning it is a bit daunting.
Anyone have thoughts on this one?

Have you played CDSK, our amazing trivia game?
I'm working on the new Travel version of the game, and having a blast.
Any time I make myself chuckle I know it'll be good.

Just had a brain-wave:
Games should incorporate; on the side of the box along with player count, age, and play time; maximum play area.
Is this pub table going to be big enough for this?
