"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

I don’t wear shorts (and don’t own any shorts), but @teepublic.bsky.social now has shorts so I’m tempted to get some with our logo (or our other designs)! Especially since it’s been hot this week… You can get your own here: www.teepublic.com/shorts/61511...

The leadership of the Tabletop Game Designers Association was disappointed to see the publisher CGE touting Codenames: Back to Hogwarts, a new Harry Potter-themed version of Codenames.

Zombie Kidz Evolution from @scorpionmasque.bsky.social is a great first Legacy game for kids! My kids and I have been enjoying playing this together, defeating zombies, locking gates, and opening envelopes! youtu.be/NrebSUi7pJ0?...

Posting to amplify Calvin’s very thoughtful thread about this important issue.

Since the recording and publishing of this episode, we learned of the new Harry Potter version of Codenames that @czechgames.com plans to publish. We contacted them to express our disappointment over this decision and to implore them to discontinue their use of this license. They need to do better.

Today’s episode is about THE END OF GAMES!! Or, in other words, players being able to trigger the end game. We also discuss the new Codenames, Little Alchemists, and Look at the Stars. @czechgames.com #boardgames #podcast youtu.be/DWxxhfWSiWs?...

I love getting new people into the 18xx genre (a series of economic board games about owning shares of railroad corporations and operating them), so it’s super exciting when I see videos that help introduce people! This is a great animated overview of the genre by @benmandelker.bsky.social !

If you missed the midyear board game tag on our podcast (or want to watch a video version of my answers with b-roll), I now have the video of my answers to @rollingreggie.bsky.social ‘s questions on YouTube! This was fun! You should answer the questions too! youtu.be/KFK5AbSqNPY?...

My June highlights video is up! It was a light month of gaming for me, but I did get to play an escape room in Denver! youtu.be/eEirHr4Hxpo?...

Tried out the auto focus on my camera for filming June’s monthly review since I keep forgetting to (or fail at) manual focus. But apparently the auto focus can’t decide between my face or the artwork behind me being the subject of the video. So apologies in advance for the focus in the next video!

In today’s episode we talk about Rescuing Robin Hood, Tiwanaku, and Holdiay Hijinks Independence Incident, then we talk about our top 5 games in the BGG top 100! youtu.be/T3MTotPannI?...

I got a review copy of MicroMacro: Kids from @hachettebgusa.bsky.social - I’ve been looking forward to this game since I heard about it and it did not disappoint! Watch my video for my (and my kids’) thoughts! youtu.be/6_5Ww2XIeHo?... #boardgames
