What's it going to take to get this playing in the Twin Cities? @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social? @trylon.org? Heights Theater? Riverview Theater?

We're back to spread the joy of trick-taking. youtu.be/vRlf-fASb8A Today we're ranking ALL of our trick taking games, well... maybe not all. This is Part 1 after all... Let us know what you think of this new format!

Having the kind of amazing stretch where your special interests intersect perfectly with parenting. 6yo is obsessed with making our own expansion deck for the LOTR trick taking game. Going to need to get proper paper that doesn't feather so badly with the dip pens.

I will be at SPIEL Essen next month. Please send me an e-mail ([email protected]) with a sell sheet, video, or whatever details you can share about your game if you’d like to get time my calendar. Please feel free to share this post with other game designers you may know!

Velvet string review: youtu.be/YpfUDpd5Z7k?...

For research reasons I'm trying to get hold of scans/photocopies of Sid Sackson's columns in Strategy & Tactics, particularly the ones from #45 through #48 (looking for a specific item which would have landed in one of those issues), published in late 1974 and early 1975. Feel free to share this.

The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game on BoardGameNews this morning!

Who loves Roll & Writes? youtu.be/Qh8ATEZ99eU The Hobbit: There & Back Again is a GEM!

Very proud for Fellowship of the Ring: Trick-Taking Game to be included on this stellar list of games for the IGA awards

UFO50 lands on the switch LATER TODAY, maybe even by the time you read this. this game has now joyously commanded great swathes of my attention for the better part of a year — mainly on a steamdeck bc it’s such an ideal portable experience. if you have a switch but not UFO50, it’s a huge day for you

I'm not saying I committed larceny, violence, and general malfeasance to procure a copy of The Hobbit There and Back Again. But I would have. The Hobbit. Roll and Write. Board Game. Knizia. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES.

I am all in on this series until the end.

Coming in January 2026: The Two Towers: Trick-Taking Game from Bryan Bornmueller. With Frodo missing for the book’s first half, the towers step in as trump cards — but they cancel one another if played together. The game has 18 new chapters of play, and the first game is not required to play. —WEM

Hope to see you in a few days!

Hope to see you in a few days!

After 57 solo plays, I have completed all 18 chapters (including the lovely Chapter 16 1/2) of the FOTR: Trick Taking Game. Some I repeated for fun, others not. This was exactly what I needed over these last 6 months. What a marvelously fun puzzle of a game. Now to wait for the next installment!

Found a Game of the Month display in person at a Barnes and Noble!

"Fellowship of the Ring: Trick Taking" Arguably a best in class trick taking game. One of the few that does more than it rightly should. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2sP...

Really enjoyed Devil’s Plan Season 2. Jung Jong-yeon and team are easily some of the most interesting game designers out there. It’s on Netflix and is a must watch for game folks. Also I was so pleased to find out Tinno made a video for Fellowship. Love his unique style youtu.be/I1v8dBrJrOw?...

Playing the Same Game tonight.

My friend Ursula Murray Husted had a book release event last night for her wonderful new YA graphic novel BOTTICELLI’S APPRENTICE. It’s a well-researched, engaging read that taught me more about early Renaissance paint than I’d ever thought I’d know! Out NOW from Quill Tree Books (HarperCollins)!

Starting at 18:30 into the video, Fellowship was the #1 game with the most plays logged on BGG in February! Especially wild as they were all in-person plays too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiQ2...
