Huge thanks to all the convention staff, players, and designers for making this happen!!

“Jimi would play Risk on acid, and I never—and me personally—ever beat him at all. He was unbelievable at it. He was a military man, you know, he’s a paratrooper, and I don’t know whether you know that about Jimi, but no one ever beat him at Risk.” -Graham Nash

Post of appreciation for Board Game Academics (@bgacademics.bsky.social & @chriscarbone.bsky.social) for putting on such a boldly curated program on historical games, the mind, and ideologies of play. I’ll be chewing on this for months!

I’ve been playing a couple games of Ted Raicer’s “I, Napoleon” by @gmtgames.bsky.social - a solo card driven, almost RPG-ish, storytelling vehicle for history nerds 🇫🇷

I just attended a soap box derby in rural Virginia sponsored by Space Force. Recruitment was practically nil save for a few prepubescent boys asking for the “space man” poster.

@thedietzfoundation.bsky.social's timing couldn't be more uncanny. First copies of CHICAGO '68 delivered the day of the first turn in the game: August 26, 1968.
