Did you catch our Dawn Unboxing? Dawn from Green Meadow Games - A hidden role game where you get to pick your role and can change it mid game. One of my all time faviourite 'hidden traitor' games I open up the game and check out the playmat! youtu.be/pabIs2Xd9e0... #Dawn #SocialDeduction

This was a great series.

WONDERFUL news! Waterdeep is one of those comfort games for me and my favourite of the more ‘pure’ worker placements out there. Also SUPER easy to introduce non-board gamers to.

Hey look, another big reprint! This is one that I like but don't love. I'm not a huge worker placement fan (they often end up devolving into turn order battles I think) but this is a great first step into that genre.

Interesting. I haven’t played it in years but I enjoyed it when I did. Worker placement, secret goals, etc. D&D / Realms themed but no knowledge of D&D rules or lore is necessary to play.

Lords of Waterdeep coming back from a new publisher. It's now with @renegadegamestudios.com You can pre-order it now: #ad renegadegamestudios.com/lords-of-wat...

We saved a world in How to Save A World from @burntislandgames.bsky.social First play was eye opening. I was not expecting this game to be so cutthroat and tight. We played the max number of rounds and the Laser took it, though the player that won didn't back that project at all.

Another sign of tough times in the board game industry. The number of affiliate partners of ours who have shut down their programs and even broader than the industry is the fact ShareaSale shut town entirely.

We got a demo of this at GAMA Expo earlier this year and were super impressed. Glad to see people digging it.

Every publisher should do a copy past of their webpage and post it into the popular social media platforms and see what comes up. So many don't have featured images or anything like that and look terrible when shared. This is a basic part of selling yourself on the web that gets missed.

Don't spend your hard earned money on games that have been stolen from other publishers and designers. youtu.be/m44MAdlFxrw
