I tried a couple on my own and it was fun! The three star one took me a bit to uncover lol

🐷 Ham Helsing took a minute to ramp up, but once we got rolling, it was a good time! Deck-building, card- crafting, monster-fighting chaos with quirky characters and wild combos. An overall good time! 🎲🔥 @firesidegames.bsky.social

🍷 We played Vineyard: A Winemaking Game and loved it! The shared worker mechanic where everyone controls the characters makes it super interactive. Strategic, smooth, and family-friendly fun. Another strong showing from designer Roberta Taylor! 🍁 #pencilfirstgames

🏃‍♂️✨ We played Magical Athlete and it was delightful! Players draft characters with unique powers, then race them in fast-paced heats. Who knew a snake could outrun an Alchemist? 🎨 Loved the vibrant art, clever character design, and the eco-friendly packaging. Big win all around! ♻️💖 @cmyk.games

This is sooo my thing. Virtual makes it so much easier too!

Some quiet time on the train to play Forgery. ☺️ #solorpg #journalling @bananachangames.bsky.social

Suzanne is grrrrreat at Marketing. 🤣 @425suzanne.bsky.social

Hey all! I have to cancel my regular Monday lunchtime stream today because of kitchen renovations. Booooo See you all on Wednesday at lunch!

Hollow Knight: Silksong is lovely but the difficulty level is 😬😬😬...I am struggling! Help a girl out. I would like to request more benches please. 😆

My new bike bag is so cute!!! 🌸🌼🌺

I do love a good trick-taking game...😛

🛶 Played Knarr and I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did! It’s a lighter Viking-themed card game, but don’t it still packs a bit of a strategic punch. Quick to learn, fun to play, and surprisingly satisfying. I would play again. ☺️ @pandasaurusgames.com

Nobody wants to be a stale muffin. 🤣

I just started watching Scandal and it has me in a choke hold. It's so good! 🤩

More games haha I am very excited to play Death in Berlin a Solo RPG and Legacy of Dragonholt! 🥰

We played Gloomies from and enjoyed it! The vibrant art pops, gameplay is super easy to learn, and the two-phase strategy keeps things fun. Big fans of setting up some fun scoring combos! @pandasaurusgames.com

I backed Sefirot: Silver Seals awhile ago and it's has finally arrived! 😍 Looking forward to a solo tarot divination narrative adventure! @causacreations.bsky.social

Wroth’s color palette is 🔥 I was worried the area control might be too intense, but it’s super intuitive: control = piece count, not power level. Dice abilities? That’s a whole different story 😂. Fast-paced, fun, and totally my vibe. Can’t wait to try another faction! @chiptheorygames.bsky.social

⚔️ Played Kinfire Council this past weekend. We enjoyed the semi-coop twist, even without a cultist win. The rulebook was a great size, clear, and solid components. Looking forward to playing again and maybe siding with those cultists! 😈 @incredibledream.bsky.social

Indeed she does! Her's and @613mandi.bsky.social 's is SaltandSassGames You can easily choose your fav code from this link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I found a new cycling app called Cycling Guide to map out my routes! I really like the detail and breakout down of each routes and what works best for each level of cyclist! Are there other cycling apps I need to know about?

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

Alibis from @allplay.bsky.social (originally Nigoichi by Yusuke Sato from Jelly Jelly) is a better "thinky party" #BoardGame than Codenames. Quicker and more active/engaging for all players. An absolute hit.

In Ep. LXXV, Suzanne & Mandi share their Gen Con 2025 highlights, covering new video games & apps, and meaningful conversations on inclusivity in game design. They wrap up with a delicious Game Pie featuring favourite picks from Spanish publishers! 🎧 sites.libsyn.com/436716 🖥️ youtu.be/VTehp7I1_q8

🎲 Our 2nd attempt at Tip of the Diceberg, a ladder climbing game, went much better! At first, the rules were confusing and conflicting, but once we pieced it together, it turned out to be a fun game. We enjoyed being able to add dice to a trick. I would recommend playing once the rules are fixed.

Looking for tabletop gaming orgs that accept donations that benefit BIPOC in the industry. @rosegauntlet.bsky.social does the foundation take donations? @ttgda.bsky.social you have a grant program, right?

Keeping it casual but it will be good to catch up with my friend Mandy! Yes, another very cool Mandy who is also Canadian! 😝🍁💜 @tawejea.bsky.social

I appreciate being able to highlight these topics and amplify voices with @425suzanne.bsky.social on public platforms AND behind the scenes. We don't always talk about our behind the scenes work we do but we are glad it makes a difference. 🩷

As folks are criticizing reviewers who didn't call out the racism in Ace of Spades... and as I'm editing the next @saltandsass.bsky.social ep... I had the thought - @613mandi.bsky.social and I have been podcasting for nearly a decade together and advocating for inclusive gaming longer than that.

This is wonderful news. Thank you to Marceline and all those who worked hard to garner these results. I know there is more work to be done. This is a step in the right direction.

All that is happening really shows that we are making progress. Over the years, a small group of us have been vocal about these types of issues and taking A LOT of heat on and offline. People question why I was chosen to work with certain groups as a consultant. Why weren't they chosen? 1/2

This message outlines all the things. I am not thrilled that this happened at all, but I appreciate the apology, accepting responsibility and acknowledgement of harm and the outlining of steps to fix it.

Get out of here with this racist crap. Devir went ahead and stepped in their own piss. Please go support Jeremy and let Devir know your disappointment and dissatisfaction. But on top of that—there’s MANY reviewers who received the game prior to Gen Con failed to notice or mention this crap.

That's so far out of fucking line, I'm kind of stunned. Then I thought, wait, if they represented Black people this way...And sure enough, got ourselves a glowing-eyed Indian with steer horns. JFC. Devir, this is way beyond "oops". This looks intentional. Leave Natives out of your products.

Below, is an extremely offensive image from the game Ace of Spades published by Devir Games. The cavalier use of a slavery theme about a game that could LITERALLY BE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE and the offensive images to push this theme is abhorrent. You all should know better. 1/3

Sweet smelly dice and creamy class dice (sorcerer and wizard) needed to be added to my collection . Yes, it was necessary...lol😁 @onlycritsco.bsky.social

🍎 🍏 Our apples are looking fresh and fabulous. And then there is this one all tired looking and picked at by the birds. Hmmm...kinda like me before and after a convention. 😆

Some of the latest solo/solo playable RPGs I picked up recently. I love the finish on the Tarot cards for Totem. Fancy! ☺️

Suz has been there supporting us since Day 1. And yes, we are soooo grateful (I thought about GenCant the other day, hehe) However, she and @613mandi.bsky.social do not normally use their Brand Ambassadors links: 🔗 Our website: quivertime.com/shop?ref=4305 🔗 Amazon : amzn.to/4kSeMp7 Use them, pls

Fanatical’s "Build Your Own" Bundle for Cosy Games is happening now and I grabbed 3 gems for just $6.87 CAD! I already own Paper Trail, A Tiny Sticker Tale, and Sticky Business and they would be great to add to your bundle! 💜 www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-...

🏰 Kingdomino is now available to play on an app! Mandi will be solo streaming Kingdomino today at 3:30PM ET on Twitch! Come hang out, and join the chat! 📺 www.twitch.tv/saltandsassgames

The Spiritfarer team’s next game is all about messed-up families and super cool swords

Wizards & Co. is a strategy game involving creature battles and magical loot within octagonal dungeons. Players place cards, triggering clockwise battles where abilities are revealed, and treasures are awarded to the top two victors. Had fun but it wasn't a game for us. @sinisterfish.bsky.social

Ohhh Stéphanie is back with a new solo RPG video!! 😍 @819steph.bsky.social

My first Samsung flip phone! I had been looking for a smaller phone but I thought that this was a happy compromise. And, of course I had to get a cute and purple case and accessories. 💜😁 So far, I really like it! #SamsungGalaxyZFlip7

So great to see how a review meant to not recommend a game totally sold Suzanne on it. Everything they disliked was exactly what she was looking for in a game! 😂

I have now added Just Dance to my daily workout routine. Why didn't so this sooner?!? 🤯

Let us see if I can win this one...😆
