Some publishers reached out about their own schedule changes, so our schedule is shifting to accommodate! Thus: like this week, there will be 3 videos out next week Plus 2 episodes of BAT Monday & Friday. Then we’ll be at July’s Spotlight video before you know it… @chiptheorygames.bsky.social

Check out our reviews of Zombie Princess & Haunted Mouse from @beziergames.bsky.social! youtu.be/RSbv2UAHWr4?... And stay to the end to meet our newest friend Kiwi~ #cardgames #zombieprincess #hauntedmouse #tricktaking

Honeycrisp is hybrid of Schnapsen and Trifle. (Get it?) It’s also got a little DNA from another game I adore: Crisps! After each trick, the winner decides to keep the current trump suit, or to draw the flipped up card and potentially change what trump becomes. bit.ly/3QlAzfL

Bad Queens Allowed is the merging of Trifle’s simple elegance with the inverted ranking and cutthroat gameplay of Vidrasso. 2P, trick-taking, a fixed trump rank in the Queens, player chosen trump suit, straw piles, and enough wrinkles to make my jeans look ironed. bit.ly/3SqlXfK

I have two new games to share this month to make up for no new game last month! I’ll make them their own threads, but both use @seandavidross.bsky.social’s Trifle deck; so if you managed to get one, you’re in for a treat! If you didn’t… well, you can totally still play these without that deck! (Duh)

Fractal Tricks is a trick-taking game — hold on! — that pits order against chaos in a contest of pattern-making and pattern-breaking. This is really something special. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/06/23/f...

Color shouldn't leave anyone guessing. I want to present my newest project: ColorSym ColorSym is a free, open-source way to identify color by shape we created, so colorblind players can read components when color alone fails. Readable from any angle, no license fee, no lock-in. colorsym.com 🎲✂

Just going to leave this here. #TTRPG #zine #junkjournaling Click below to sign up.

You don’t have to be good at a Thing to do the Thing. My greatest hope for you, you wild young creative, is to eschew the capitalistic tendencies driven into us by society, and just create. Process triumphs product. Creation overshadows stagnation. Yourself before others.

Haven't gone this hard on finalizing a game in a while. It's been nice. Apparently, I'm making a @backerkit.com for Metal Scraps Covered in Moss, so maybe it is more real than I thought. So if it's a solo junk journaling game, maybe I can send scraps of stuff to people as part of it. #TTRPG #zine

Today, I'm taking a look at a game I missed last year: the excellent hybrid of lane-battling, set matching, and card finagling, Zenith! My review: spacebiff.com/2026/06/19/z...

My friend Bryce Carter released a game earlier this month called Dibble and it is INCREDIBLE. It is a climbing/shedding game where you playing melds to move hidden point cards toward you, but passing allows you to see what the hidden cards are - OR swap them. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47... 🧵

A lot of hobby gamers won‘t play any game they can’t buy, which is a shame because they’re missing out on a bunch of great games. And also all of mine.

Drew a bike polo caballo 🤷‍♀️

Playing Witch Hunt 1649 got me thinking about women, witches, demonic possession, and religion, and the time those topics came together. The time I met a witch. My kinda-sorta review: spacebiff.com/2026/06/02/w...

youtu.be/p3Q7HOK5LiU?... Board games are the only place I can think of where my fixation on dominos has generated life long friendships and some of the most fun I’ve ever had. @boardgameanimal.bsky.social knocked this one out of the park, and I’m so happy to be part of it. The Domino Decade is now!
