The kids watched the Elrond vs. John Wick movie from 1999 for the first time and its nice to rewatch and discover even more things. Never realized that the guy Neo sells the software to said "Youre a saviour, Neo!" - nice foreshadowing I just dont know why there are posing like that - reference?

Unsere Folgen sind weg und google Suche sieht so aus. Ist das ein WP Hack? 😒🙄 Null Ahnung, was zu tun ist...

This is wild

Just played this cool new engine builder: In Omelas you play bad cards on your central child tableau to play wonderful combos of buildings on the centre board

Nach dem SdJ ist vor der Essen-Neuheitenschow: 2 Neuheiten gerankt: www.spielbar.com/wordpress/re...

The great thing about Britain is you're free to think whatever you want to think and say whatever J. K. Rowling's lawyers permit you to say.

Played Jusayo by Woojin Yang yesterday and it will be our designated game for the holidays. Its giving strong Trio/nana - vibes, despite being quite different in actual play. Really nice small filler, can recommend

„Das Programm gilt auch für Haushalte ohne eigene Solaranlage – damit sollen auch diejenigen ohne Dach-Photovoltaik aktiv an der Energiewende teilhaben können.“

Wer Anschläge vorschnell Linksextremisten zuschreibt, verwechselt Verdacht mit Beweis. Gerade in Zeiten hybrider Angriffe ist das gefährlich.

Its here in all its glory! Im happy!

Oh my god there’s a short with him and Hugo Weaving taking a bath??

This weekend with the Berlin Con and the Game of the year was very motivating to do more design work.... ... but for related reasons at the same time also reminded me how absolutly luck-based, random and hence frustrating it is to try to get your games published somewhere.

Neulich bei der #SpieldesJahres Verleihung. Eindrücke und Gedanken zu einer Veranstaltung auf Traditionen einzahlen #brettspiele

Überlege jetzt ein elektronisches Sammelkartenquiz zu machen, bei dem man per Antwort Militärische Einheiten auf einem großen Puzzle verschiebt und dabei die Aktionen Rollenspielmässig ausspielt.

RIP

Perhaps overshadowed today by the tragic news about Sam Neill, but we also lost another great actor today: Wai Ching Ho. A well-kent face most widely known for playing as Matriarch crime boss Madame Gao in the Marvel Defenders shows, and the voice of Grandma in Turning Red.

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Das Wort, das sie suchen, lautet "Bild"

No!

My kids are too old, so I only learned now that Mooki Island is a 2-player game for children-Finally! The lack of 2-player games for children is one I lamented for years-All the time my youngest was to young to play the same game as the eldest without getting frustrated. Hopefully more will follow!

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

I appreciate the German dedication to dressing as absolute dweebs for the biggest board game award ceremony (highly complimentary)

Interesting note from the Kennerspiel: Acvording to the designers: The background of Rebirth is more political than Mooncolony Bloodbath

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

One factor has to do with games criticism, which is where the majority of such a vocabulary is tried out and developed. But because board game criticism has primarily engaged with games as products (under the guise of aesthetics, i.e. "is it fun?"), there was little need to articulate further.

Kurz vor Torschluss, kommt auch unser Redebedarf zu den nominierten und empfohlenen (Kenner-)Spielen des Jahres. Kurz und knapp, wie gewohnt. Bitte ignorieren Sie die Länge des Podcasts. #SpieldesJahres26

Looking forward to see how this boardgame implementation will convey the anticapitalistic message of the source material.

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

Messi is truly one of a kind. He is the first player to miss two penalties at the same world cup

It took me almost a year, but I finally wrote a Part 2 for my tier list of Playte games (my current favorite hobby board game publisher). I'm still obsessed with these games, and I wanted to write about them even as I struggle with traditional game reviews: www.stuartellisgorman.com/blog/the-pla...

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

erotic thriller is such a great genre concept. like youre naked but you have to save the president

Some priests got excommunicated. That means to call themselves Catholics agai, they have to track down the chief assassin in the dessert and cut off one of their fingers

Weve done a great interview with Jon Truitt from @cmichpress.bsky.social about boardgames and educational goals. Its in english and you can listen to it here : www.spielbar.com/wordpress/20... Thanks to Jon for his patience and participation!

The response to this is incredibly disheartening. One person brought up these concerns on BGG, got absolutely piled on and then the thread was locked. boardgamegeek.com/thread/37315...

Back in my days "Dynamic Storylines" were called "random event cards".

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

"People in the Philippines are flocking to install solar power on rooftops, making it the world's biggest spender on solar panels since the war in Iran started." "The rooftop solar rush has resulted in...a 145% increase from a year earlier." www.reuters.com/business/ene... #energysky

Played Two Rooms and a Boom today with 18 9th graders and it was an absolute success. No one, absolutly no one disliked it. I think for a big group of nongamers its probably better than Clocktower, bc its more approachable and doesnt rely as much on a good host.

Finally, a big fav of mine. @peersylvester.bsky.social delivered an incredible game with @ospreygames.bsky.social in The King is Dead 2nd Ed. I love this game but it suffered from Splendor syndrome of a box far too big for its game. Playte has taken this gem and polished it to the perfect size.
