First day of the year and I chose to learn and play Salt&Pepper Onoda. It did not end well (Onoda did not withstand the pressure and killed himself…I could have saved him by playing the right card). There is more than it meets the eye and I really enjoyed the immersion.

If players touch the pieces too much in a game, it'll often feel fiddly. It'll also add cognitive burden: using our hands requires surprising brain power (I was once a neurobiologist). Protip: count touches-per-turn in tests 🎲✂️(1/4)

Hubris can really deliver some awesome narrative and twists of fate: in my current solo test game of the prequel expansion, the 4th turn (235-231) was just spectacular! First, Seleukos II suffered a crushing defeat despite enjoying numerical superiority against his rebel brother Antiochos Hierax.

And day four, today, highlighted the year's best relationship games! spacebiff.com/2025/12/29/b...

Cuius Regio, from @gmtgames.bsky.social , has changed its status to "At the printer". Soon it will be at the tables of the P500 backers. If you are interested, you can check the rulebook at the game's page at www.gmtgames.com/p-971-cuius-... and preorder at the discounted price.

🎲🧠 ¿Nadie para jugar? Perfecto. Nuestros juegos en solitario no discuten, no miran el móvil y siempre te piden una partida más. ¿Te atreves? 🙂

Onoda was an experiment in storytelling. A sad story, by the way. Probably more linked to a rpg than a standard solitaire game. Not a puzzle, not a resource management game, but more akin to a comic book plus a game. I am proud of the job done when somebody, as Dan, reports this kind of experience!

Best Week continues! On this our hallowed second day, we're celebrating the best board games of 2025 that stare into the abyss. Read the full list here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/27/b...

Organizador/inserto para Habemus Papam que he encontrado en Etsy. Look what I found on Etsy: www.etsy.com/de-en/listin...

This points to an exploration of an interesting topic that wouldn't be in the list of almost anyone. But that is what I also want from games: to start some thought process that wasn't there before. These projects are the ones that people that think about games as an art form should support.

The first installment of the PENITENT design diary has been posted to BGG. I address incarceration as a design topic and a more sensitive approach. Subscribe for updates on the project. It will be crowdfunding in January with a limited run capped at 200 copies. boardgamegeek.com/thread/35942...

Onoda is a small, quick solitaire title from @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social, designed by @fgradaille.bsky.social. It tells incredible story of Hiroo Onoda during his stay on Lubang Island. Let me tell you more about this title today! theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/12/12/u...

The furnace broke. It's very cold, so we're having a sale on an appropriately chilly game!

Oh no! We spent last week without a furnace. I do not recommend. But I do recommend Endurance! (And should have thought to play it while wrapped in four layers.)

Candice is awesome and we are so happy to be working with her!

In work ...

I've been kind of bad at promoting it, but my second book came out this year and I'm pretty proud of it. It's called Castillon and it's on the last battle of the Hundred Years War, but also kind of the war as a whole. You could, of course, buy a copy for your loved ones (all of them), but...

For this latest Space-Cast!, I sat down to chat with Paolo Mori and Alessandro Zucchini about their collaborative project, Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars, and why they decided the world needed another (and better) hex-and-counter wargame. spacebiff.com/2025/12/03/s...

This is an excellent piece about the perils of AI art broadly, and within our hobby more specifically. If we reach the point where AI art is found in every board game, I will stop playing and writing about board games. Simple as that.

Over the last month, I've been working on this essay about the use of AI art in board games, "Is This Really What We Want?" Though it is contextually specific, it is also a reflection of my wider thoughts on the use of AI art and writing in creative contexts. www.meeplemountain.com/articles/is-...
