Has anyone made a board game based on a slide rule? Surely! I can’t think of any but it’s late here and my brain is dumb.

New comic! We've really grown into adulthood over the years, for real!😅 Has your taste in games changed over the years, or has it just expanded? 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: semicoop.com/comic/evolution-of-our-game-collection/ @cmyk.games #boardgames

great thread, also here to add my personal favorites the us ambassador visits his counterpart in moscow. 'sergei, in the us we have freedom of speech. i can shout 'down with reagan' in front of the white house and not be arrested.'

As an indie creator, a little extra help goes a long way. If you know anyone who loves dungeon crawler games, please share this with them, much appreciated. May the Frogs be with you! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kin...

Weekly Recap! 📼 From Queens with dilemmas to bunnies running kingdoms - we've played some fun games. 😄 #boardgames

I was looking forward to introducing my eight year old to some of my all-time favourite comics but instead he is introducing me to some new all-time favourite comics. @neillcameron.bsky.social's Donut Squad escape from the weirdo bin. It's wonderful. There's work to be done.

It's pretty funny that Wingspan Pocket and the Kingdom Come game get announced on the same day, for me it represents two opposites on the spectrum of what board games can be.

We played 15 different games in June. Our favorite experience was definitely Alice is Missing but the Old King's Crown and Magical Athlete have kept up being great after their previous first impression. #bgstats

This is a criminally underrated game for a silly price!

Has anyone tried Two Sides to the Coin? A RPG with personal goals and a winner seems like a fun concept but also one that could be the opposite of "telling a fun story together". So we'd like to hear some experiences. www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/two-sides...

New comic! It's never too hot to play a game... right? 🫠 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: semicoop.com/comic/hot-takes/ #boardgames #heatwave

Another great Spiel des Jahres Awards deep dive from Oliver here, examining how the operation funds itself, maintains independence and finances game-related community projects, research, training and networking:

Can't wait to play this some more!

Weekly Recap! 📼 Even though it was way too hot to do anything 🫠 - we did at least play three games. 🥲 How about you?!

We need more games with fake medals!

Oh yeah!

Playing Imperial Borders today!

I like that this comic makes you read it in a not-normal direction!

What artist are there that are able to make universal horror illustrations, ideally in a humorous way. Think ”Addams family”. Ish. I’m not that knowledgeable in the field and would love to see what is made.

Backed 18Zoo! I really enjoyed my games I played of it on 18xx.games, it abstracts some of financial stuff to speed up the game and prevent the later rounds from becoming a spreadsheet fest. It also introduces wild player powers which are a lot of fun. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale...

Extra comic, thanks to Deep Print Games! Important question for our friends at Deep Print: Did you test this game with people who have cats... or is this a feature? 😹 📜 You can learn more about Bounce It! at: semicoop.com/comic/bounce-it/ #boardgames

London 2nd Edition is not only a wonderful game, it looks great with Iron Clays. Now that Osprey is selling off their board games, @roxley.bsky.social wouldn't this be a great Martin Wallace game next to the Brass series?

Continuing my infatuation with Paleo, we’ve now played 8 games in less than a month and love it even more each time (holding an even 50/50 win/loss rate). Such a creative blend of immersive, emergent story telling and strategic planning. #boardgames

Here I am, once again, to point at the enormous yawning gap of dating sims in board games.

"A team of investigators uncovers the cult's hideout" Roland Banks: A ha, you know what this is? Wiz Khalifa: King in Yellow, King in Yellow, King in Yellow.

Hey now! I'm doing an interview with some truly awesome people on Sunday. Tune in on YouTube.

There were several of us that were trying to make a dating sim board game work at FFG. Every game jam, someone would pitch it. The closest we (well, I) came was a cute little Crazy 8s variant that I think we called Crazy In Love? Never could get one on the official schedule, though.

New comic! It's Rachel's birthday today, and she's reflecting on the complexity of board games... and of life itself. 🎂 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: semicoop.com/comic/bgg-complexity-ratings/ @boardgamegeek.com #boardgames

Weekly Recap! 📼 Summer has arrived! ☀️ Even when it's too warm for comfort... it's always a good time for some games? And two adorable dogs this week?! 🐶

This week we've scored the same amount of victory points in four different games. Three of those times the tiebreaker broke in Heinze's favour and the other was a shared victory.

We are writing a designer diary for the Glorious Guilds of Buttonville. If you happen to have photos of playing the game or the prototype of the game and are willing to share those photos on board game geek, please share them here in the comments.

Having friends who will actually sit around a table and play board games with you until 3 AM is pure gold these days. Hold onto these good friends.

What an experience! While the character creation part front loads a lot of information onto the players, the 90 minutes chat part is a wonderfully immersive experience. Probably the best "app" driven game we've played.

If you have the Dropout Superfan account, Belen Edwards interviewed me about creating character art for City Council of Darkness. www.dropout.tv/superfan/art... "AO: It's a spiritual experience, the Zaeth sneer. BE: Truly it is. So are the abs." #Dimension20 #CityCouncilOfDarkness

We're playing Alice is missing tonight! We're looking for a messaging app for it. Anybody got some good suggestions? We were hoping we could use the server nickname option in Discord but you see their normal username when you start private messaging others which breaks the immersion.

Throwback Thursday! 🕰️👀 There's a big difference between video gamer parents and board gaming parents...! Be strong, parents, one day they might be respectful of your games! 😅 (This comic was originally posted in 2017)

Goodbye long Bsky-handle and welcome @semicoop.com! 🥳

note to self: add worrying about resources to new edition of Microscope

I'm pretty sure @hellenus.bsky.social has said this to me irl

@turnipmax.bsky.social Turnip28: Pubcrawlers sounds super fun and we can't wait to see what it will turn out to be. But at least as exciting are those dice, where would one get their grabby little hands on those?

New comic! Heinze has a lot of specific itches that he needs to scratch... 😅 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: semicoop.com/comic/euro-withdrawal/ #boardgames
