Tiles are math? Tiles are math! And math is tiles! You are going to learn a thing or two from @paulsalomon27.bsky.social and Brendan in this episode.

I do interviews a board game, conventions with board game, designers and publishers! Here’s my interview with @paulsalomon27.bsky.social about some of the new games from @gameheadgames.bsky.social ! Check it out! openyoutu.be/AkygsGkv2xc?...

I was interviewed by a puppet and it’s going in my CV.

Curious about the tweaks @paulsalomon27.bsky.social and I made to Shut the Books? My dev diary for No Loose Ends is up on BGG News! boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogp...

My game Trinket Trove, published by @gameheadgames.bsky.social, at Geekway, pic by someone who picked it up. It's real! It's a real thing happening!

@gameheadgames.bsky.social got to buy and play Corgi Pile Up today!

Got a nice review for the game I designed being published by @gameheadgames.bsky.social by the folks at @thedicetower.bsky.social ! And they are right, it's incredibly adorbs, with art by @art-of-sandara.bsky.social and design by @vegagamestudio.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAhT...

It's my big brother @paulsalomon27.bsky.social 42nd birthday so here's a bunch of photos of us cause he's cool as fuck.

Can't get over how iconically early 2000 this photo is of my older brother @paulsalomon27.bsky.social, this was our recording studio. Those Doritos probably tasted unreal.

I played 15 new-to-me games at Geekway to the West last weekend, including several that were off my radar: Rajas the Card Game, No Loose Ends, and Panda Royale. I really enjoyed all three! What game surprised you recently?

Really fun Decision Space episode where @paulsalomon27.bsky.social and I discuss what games perfectly encapsulate our own gaming tastes (and we show how well we know each other) www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMB7...

Friend on the way over with a brand new copy of Stamp Swap, designed by the amazing @paulsalomon27.bsky.social! @fosterthemeeple.bsky.social #fosterthegameathon25

This was such a fun time! Bravo @paulsalomon27.bsky.social for being such an amazing host!

Y’all got to check out this killer episode from Brendan and @petewiss.bsky.social on expression in board games. This one got my wheels turning while listening! Also, we had a slight issue with the podcast upload. If yours cuts off abruptly at 50min, you may need to re-download. Sorry!

Can games be mean? Take a stand. Episode out on podcast now, YouTube later.

We got a new episode! Listen to @petewiss.bsky.social and @paulsalomon27.bsky.social talk about simultaneous play in board games and then deep dive one of Paul's favorite games of 2024, Fromage.

And next weeks game of the week! Stamp Swap! @paulsalomon27.bsky.social

Haven't posted about this in a while but hey, if you like boardgames my older brother @paulsalomon27.bsky.social is a professional board game maker and now heads a board game company, you can buy his economy based honey bee game at your local target. It's called Honey Buzz

You can catch episode 200 right here or wherever you listen to podcasts — a great entry point if you are new to the show. youtu.be/Jhyv5mePWdc?...

With the recent addition of @petewiss.bsky.social and @paulsalomon27.bsky.social as hosts and kicking off video on YouTube, I’m excited as ever about the next era of the show!

@playpunk.bsky.social It looks like you are a subsidiary of Asmodee is that right? Please let me know if I'm wrong and US rights are available for your games.

I was literally too tired to post this last night, even though it’s just a copy paste. Played #StampSwap on 2024-11-30 with 3 players, winning score: 130 #bgstats #meeplecon This was fun, but I don’t feel I need to own it. Hobbyists go to a 3-day convention (!) to collect stamps.

I know everyone is talking about fish right now but the Stamp Swap board game from @stonemaiergames.com and @paulsalomon27.bsky.social is a beaut!

Have you seen Stonemaier Games' 2024 game, Stamp Swap? Check out this video published by Watch It Played to learn how the game works and looks. #boardgames

It’s not spring, but trying the #boardgame Honey Buzz 🐝 while huddled under my onesie. Adorably themed, but a strategic tile & worker placement game. Build that hive with efficiency while looking for the nectar to keep your queen and bees happy 😅. Or else.

Die letzten Tage des Jahres werden noch zum Spielen genutzt, heute mit dabei sind #Unbezwingbar 🏔️ und #HoneyBuzz 🐝. #Brettspiele

Briefmarken sammeln: "Das #Kennerspiel #Tauschrausch [ @paulsalomon27.bsky.social, @feuerlandspiele.bsky.social] müsste also genau meinen Nerv treffen." #DuckschSpielt findet den Mechanismus des Teilens und Auswählens zwar reizvoll, hadert aber mit dem Material. www.ducksch-spielt.de/index.php/20...

Merry Christmas. #stampswap

An update on Elf Creek Games and my role in its future.

🎲✂️ #boargame #gamedesign analysis: Honey Buzz by @paulsalomon27.bsky.social . This game has gotten to my table more frequently than others recently. We're really enjoying the action cascade after completing 1 (or more) empty cells in our hive. Players can have explosive turns with proper planning! 🧵

Great to see so many folks at #PAXU. Met so many new designers in the UnPub room. Thanks to everyone that pitched to me or demoed Stamp Swap with me. And a special thanks to everyone foolish enough to want my signature on their copy of the game. :)

I’ll be demoing #stampswap and signing boxes at the Stonemaier Booth at 10am Sunday. Come by! #paxunplugged @stonemaiergames.com #stonemaier

Come find me. Look for the GameHead shirt. :)

8. Stamp Swap Ok, so I'm definitely biased here since @paulsalomon27.bsky.social is my design bestie. HOWEVER I adore "I cut you choose" and this one has been a hit with a wide variety of folks I've showed it to. Also the art on the stamps is killer. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/42...

Just found out the Athena expansion exists. Will definitely buy. I love Akropolis.

I’ll be buying this at PAX

I’m excited for this! I looked over the list of games and there are some very cool sounding ones!

Played a bunch of great games this week: Mistborn Deckbuilder Unlock! Hollywood Confidentlal Star Realms Rise of Empire But my game of the week is “Stickers” from Two Manta games and designer Béa G. Renard. I played 15 times in 2 days with my 7-yo. #boardgames #gamesoftheweek

Starting to sign contracts with designers and artists and I can’t believe some of the folks we get to work with. You’ve heard of them. #boardgames #gamedesign

15 plays in 2 days. My 7 year old LOVED this family legacy game. Fairly strategic as well, though lots of random in there too. She did great against me. #stickers #boardgames

I’ll be at PAX Unplugged for the first time since 2019. What games are you hype for?? #paxu #boardgames

Honey Buzz won game of the year in Poland! Something like that. I’m thrilled. www.instagram.com/p/DCbuMqZPk0...

BIG NEWS!! I'm now the Creative Director for GameHead Games. @gameheadgames.bsky.social Look for great games at the end of 2025 and give a follow!

Making our way through the sales hall today. We stopped and demoed Genotype. We were given a copy of this and wondering whether to keep or sell. We decided to keep. #GenCon2024

Playing #HoneyBuzz with the Fall Flavors expansion! We used 3/4 modules, and all 3 were hits. The new game timing is the bee's knees!!

Heute die erste Partie #HoneyBuzz 🍯🐝 gespielt. Hinter dem süßen Desgin verbirgt sich ein hartes, konkurrierendes Wirtschaftsspiel - das gefällt mir 😊 Zuzweit empfinde ich bis dato lediglich die Wertung der Karten als unfair, da die letzte Person unabhängig der Spieleranzahl leer ausgeht.

Went to this boardgame store and they had my brothers game on the shelf!!!!! #HoneyBuzz
