If anyone has unsubbed from the Dice Tower and would still like regular board game content that doesn't involve God, Boots*, or the lionisation of fascist martyrs, I do have a patreon. www.patreon.com/c/mattthr *may occasionally involve boots

Tonight we have been mostly making lovely chill duck ponds, thanks to A Gentle Rain.

Board Game Beat just opened! There's a bunch of content there already, and I'll be posting more throughout the week...including Spielwarenmesse coverage, a survey, and a video. Thanks so much for all your support!

I am not posting it through the Leder Games website, instead going to my personal network to look for candidates I know. We are looking for 1 possibly 2 graphic designers as I build our team for growth. This is not a remote position. Thanks! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Tonight we will be mostly bike-racing with bright colours, in Spokes.

This bundle is only available until the end of the month, so act fast if you want one! 👉🏼 helleborezine.com

I picked up a set of @senetmagazine.bsky.social back-issues at the weekend courtesy of @allrolledup.bsky.social's sale. I am an absolute sucker for this kind of gorgeous design 😁. Plus: I will never run out of reading matter this year!

Exciting news, everybody…

❤️

Merry New Year Senet-heads!

Plus my fave board games of 2025… 1. The Old King’s Crown 2. Harmonies 3. Ayar: Children of the Sun 4. Endeavour: Deep Sea 5. Mycelia (Split Stone Games) 6. Star Wars: Battle of Hoth 7. Deep Regrets 8. Finspan 9. A Wayfarer’s Tale: The Journey Begins 10. Druids of Edora

It has begun. Best Week. The only year-end list that matters. And for the first day of Best Week 2025, we're celebrating the board games that transported us to new places, showed us wondrous sights, or used their visuals to illuminate a topic. Read here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/26/b...

💼 I’m looking for work as a board game designer. 🌎 I’m open to in-person, hybrid or remote work. ⭐ I’ve previously worked at the Uzzle and made Abandon All Artichokes, Starry Night Sky, and other board games.

Boxing Day games - played simultaneously, in two different rooms… (Harmonies and The Old King’s Crown)
