@octavianbgg.bsky.social Hello Matthew, apologies for reaching out, out of the blue but I have some questions about game name listings on BGG, and wondered whether you'd be able to take a look at them real quick and perhaps ofter some insight/advice.

Our pal is at it again. Look at those boxes 😍

Despite a poisonous environment for board game publishers, 2025 was a fantastic year for board game releases. youtu.be/TnvI0rZGJFw

Moomintroll makes shoveling look way more whimsical than it feels in real life, doesn’t he? ❄️😅

Most people know Zach Barth as the founder of Zachtronics. But we are not most people. Today on the Space-Cast!, Zach talks about his analog designs, including The Lucky Seven, Chemistry Set, and the scratch-off puzzle pack Zach Attack! Listen here: spacebiff.com/2026/02/04/s...

I would love to see a boardgame publisher hire @egallagher.bsky.social to illustrate a project.

WHAT BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS, AND SUCH AIRY HEIGHTS.

Ah gosh smokes look at that *swoons*

As a remake of Renegade, Deckers is a mild tune-up; as a throwback to a time when cooperative games were tougher and more tangled, it's a welcome addition to the modern co-op pantheon. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/02/03/d...

Please enjoy another weird mutant Kondo Gundam c/o of yours truly

Only managed a few "real" games this week, on account of playing like 15 prototypes. Still! Good stuff. What did you get to the table?

Been a bit! I severely underestimated how much time I'd have to script, film, and edit a new How to Play during the holidays, BUT... Check out this How to Play for A Very Civil Whist, designed by @fredserval.bsky.social and published by @phalanxgames.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVZY...

Check out the games we can’t wait to get to the table once our campaign in March is wrapped! ❤️ Excited just thinking about it!

The time has come to present the Top#1 Boardgames Chronicle Post of 2025. Review for one of my all-time favorite titles - Arcs: Conflict & Collapse in the Reach. Enjoy that material! Link: theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/07/13/r... @colewehrle.bsky.social @leder.games

Seeing the AI 1776 trailer and thinking of the attendant excuse of "we wouldn't have the budget for this without AI" in relation to I, Claudius. Where the seams show, dodgy age makeup, an Ancient Room the size of a Hampton Inn lobby, and how it's still one of the best TV series ever made.

It's Atom Zombie Smasher's 15th anniversary! 🎉 To celebrate, we: 1. MADE A BLENDO GAMES MERCH STORE Store is live and open for orders! Shirts! Stickers! blendogames-shop.fourthwall.com 2. UPDATED THE DANG GAME Various additions, improvements, and fixes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/550...

A letter from Saint Paul to those last few friends and family who have somehow become indifferent to ongoing campaign of terror in the Twin Cities:

Even when @danthurot.bsky.social doesn't love one of my games I'm delighted to get a review on Space-Biff! And despite his criticisms, he says some kind things about Lodge in his review. Thanks as always, Dan!

HI WORLD! Buried Giant Studios is a new company formed by Cole Wehrle and Kyle Ferrin 🏠 Learn more here: buriedgiant.com

this review is super worth reading, it's beautifully written by @danthurot.bsky.social

Here’s a little look at how Pablo illustrates The Old King’s Crown! Now imagine that in real time… Then imagine that across hundreds of cards…

THEN IMAGINE ALL THE ILLUSTRATIONS THAT DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT!

Among my most anticipated historical board game releases of 2026: Night Witches. Confront the Nazi war machine as the all-women 588th Night Bomber Regiment… and make it back safely! (@beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social) Read more: cliosboardgames.wordpress.com/2026/01/11/m...

Zach Attack! is a collection of six scratch-off board games. Yes, you read that right: scratch-offs, except designed by puzzle master Zach Barth. Even when the individual titles don't totally land, they're fascinating. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/01/20/z...

Loved this chat between @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social and @fredserval.bsky.social , interesting to hear the machinations and experiences of game design from the designers of great games : youtu.be/eXG4AhEA-xM?...

I agree! You’re creating a wee language, so pit that language in conversation. You’ll find quickly what is easy to express and where you’re tongue-tied.

Surviving current events through board games. What did you play this past week?

"What it comes down to is that this is for all the sickos..." "...as the jesters who don’t think The Old King’s Crown is wild enough will find this offering hypnotic." Cracking review that gives a really comprehensive look at The Wild Kingdom Expansion, and what sparked friction and excitement!

Played The Old King's Crown last night. I was worried it would create some points of rough analysis paralysis, but surprisingly, it flowed pretty well and was a great time. Had some good laughs with the tricks we played on each other. I dug the interactivity, excited to play it again soon.
