No more X! today i deleted my twitter account!

Took me a couple tries, but I finally managed to win @snafustore.bsky.social Operation Bøllebank by getting tank BQ in Tango 2 on the very last turn, despite the 1st tank being slowed down by Hull dmg, achieving both Operational, Strategic & Political victories! Very interesting little game indeed!

Okay… 2045 is really good!! ❤️

Ready to help us finish Reformation: Fire and Faith? The game is nearly complete, and we need playtesters to provide crucial feedback on this game. Help us to get it to your table sooner! https://nevawargames.com/2025/12/12/reformation-fire-and-faith-final-playtesting-and-proofreading/

Arrived today!!! Got it during the Essen Spiel 2025 but the game was stuck in a container on a ship!! Super stoked!! 2045!

I want to like this game a lot and after 4x reading the rules for the the second time (in german what i perfectly speak) i think its one of the most unnecessary complex games ever made with exceptions to exceptions don’t know if its to simulate or to patch up loose ends…but this is a pain in the ass

(1/3) Vampire Lords (gamefound.com/pl/projects/...) is an area control game. Each player controls a different Lord, distinguished by their abilities & action cards. Cards can be played as army/vampire movements or events. We can also "burn" cards to trigger one-time, powerful actions.

Mr. & Mrs…

Another round of prototype testing!! Its evolving! The positive feedback is a sign im on a good way!!

I never thought this would happen... I entered the top 100 wargames on @boardgamegeek.com with Gest. Thanks so much to @joedewhurst.bsky.social for helping me make this game actually good, Chechu and Robert for making it look awesome, and @gmtgames.bsky.social for believing in me.

Excellent upcoming reconnaissance #wargame that teaches lessons still relevant in the force today! Players do the work to shape the battlefield for success.

Finally found the time to learn A Very Civil Whist by @fredserval.bsky.social & @phalanxgames.bsky.social

Orange shall Overcome tutorial game! Honestly… i expected a bit more… theme and mechanics play well together… and maybe because i played it solo… but it didn’t brought noting new to the table… I’m definitely gonna give it a second try… lets see!

A Very Civil Whist is out, as per tradition I recorded an unboxing. Massive thanks to @phalanxgames.bsky.social @scotthmoore.bsky.social @domhnallh.bsky.social @joedewhurst.bsky.social @jsbuckley.bsky.social and all the play-testers for their help in making this game what it is. youtu.be/IoaDmwLztlw
