We are delighted to announce that #NarraScope 2026 will take place this year from June 12th-14th at the University at Albany! We'll be collaborating w/ the @albany.edu #UAlbany Game Center, and its Director @jcorace.bsky.social 🎉 narrascope.org/blog/post/20...

In the final triple review of the year, I'm covering three trick-takers that go above and beyond: casino-heister Venusian Vegas, snitty restaurant manager Beastro, and social parable The Hedgehog's Dilemma. Read 'em here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/16/v...

Beastro is a hidden roles and trick-taking game, where you play as mythical beast chefs competing to win a reality TV competition. The game is beautifully illustrated by @corachacha.bsky.social If you are curious, there are still some copies for sale at: www.hellomountain.games/

Lovely Indie Games Night Market roundup and shout out to our new game Beastro!
