Find Travis and get to asking!

When do we get to call a boardgame an "oldie" or "modern classic"? I was pulling out Murano and said, "how about this oldie but goodie?" and my friend said "uhhhhh that's not old." The industry grew so fast the last 10-15 years... Murano is a 2014 title and 10+ years feels like ages ago.

I think Kareem hit on something I’ve intuitively felt but not directly considered before: a resistance to learning complex games from small boxes. Check out @gameminimalist.bsky.social‘s post below and then tell me if you relate to my ramblings:

The classic title returns with a new twist on bluffing and building designed for two! Join me here and let's learn how to play Citadel's Duel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHgn...

Thankful for the designers, artists and publishers who continue to represent the diversity of the human experience in their games despite outspoken ignorance from some who are so easily unsettled by its acknowledgement and celebration.

Real talk. We did not expect this but people are showing up. We are 1/3rd away from realistically affording studio space. If we can keep that momentum - it is actually realistic we can get there. THANK YOU!

Board games can be so gosh darn beautiful.

Congrats all around - Devir has not just brought on someone with lots of experience, but a wonderful human being too. Very happy to see this news.

I know I've been outspoken in my distain for the uninvited/ forced role AI is taking in many areas of our lives, but today I've been questioning my stance. No reason in particular. (fwiw, I'd also have picked @dragonstomb.bsky.social)

Over the years, I've 🎲✂️ many Brumble Games and it has helped my design/developer skills immensely. Most of them will never be played by anybody besides my friends, but I heartily recommend doing small designs without a product in mind.

Happy Canada Day! ❤️🍁❤️🍁❤️🍁❤️🍁❤️🍁❤️🍁❤️🍁❤️ #CanadaDay 🇨🇦

Looking forward to seeing what birds are in this set and to see @elizhargrave.bsky.social's design! Finger's crossed for a Canada Goose. Would take a Blue Jay. Or Black capped Chickadee. Maybe a Red-winged Blackboard?

Rodney one of my favorite things about your videos is when you do a game with an enormous amount of prep and then after 10 minutes you say “and that’s the setup” and I’m like “WAIT THAT WASNT JUST THE RULES???”

And… that’s the:
