I do a digital x by y challenge each year. Just to push me to play some board games and not just Magic and Snap. I started strong this year and decided on a 12x12, then promptly didn’t play digital games for 9 months. Managed to finish it in the end though. Lots of roll and writes. Happy New Year!

Occasionally I get a comment about someone finding Tempus Imperium Aeternum, which is nice and gives me a burst of energy to invest in it. This happened a few times recently which resulted in an update to the rules to clarify tunnels and 14 new maps. www.venntikgames.com/tia

My wife is much better at spotting cats. @tototam.bsky.social

This isn’t my top score against the bots, but it may be my most dominating game. Started with some pretty good tickets as well.

Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LotR or Marvel. I continually try to get people to watch this movie. It’s gotten a boost since its disastrous release, but still far from the recognition it deserves.

I’ve play tested this so many times over the past few years. Great to see it finally coming out. That’s Wizard! - Fast-Paced Strategic Spellcasting Duels www.kickstarter.com/projects/man...

Finally got some time to work on a new maze. Connect the blue spot to the red spot.

PnP files for my first completed board game (Space Station Disaster 2014) have just been approved on Board Game Geek. Someday I hope to revisit this design and refine some of the rough edges, but it was always a lot of fun to play. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/16...

My pitching setup for today. Thanks to @resonym.com, @craftygames.bsky.social and @25thcentury.games for coming out and hearing the pitches of the final Board Game Workshop contest winners! Awesome to meet you all!

Just finished my digital 5x5 for the year.

What’s a better game name? “Cheating on a Math Test in Middle School” or “Cheating on a Middle School Math Test”? 🎲✂️

In Vino Morte is now in Italian from Pendragon

Meal prep is just having a lot of leftovers for a meal you didn’t eat.

If anyone has a few minutes free it’s the last day for judging in my contest. It only takes 5-10 minutes to judge. Watch a 2 minute video and give a few sentences of feedback. Any help would be appreciated. Judging ends in 18 hours. theboardgameworkshop.com/design-conte...

If you wanted to be a dinosaur when you were a kid and feel bad as an adult for failing to achieve that dream, remember that dinosaur means “terrible lizard”. And as a mammal you are a pretty terrible lizard.

It’s a Shakespeare kind of day I guess.

If some fellow 🎲✂️ designers have a few minutes, consider chipping in to review entrants to this year's Board Game Design Workshop contest. I found that it takes about eight minutes or less to watch the 2 min video, write up your thoughts, and maybe rewatch to double check your feedback.

If anyone has a few minutes free, I could use some more feedback in my contest. The videos are only 2 minutes long, so it shouldn’t take too long to give feedback to one game. theboardgameworkshop.com/design-conte...

Just backed One Card Maze Season 2. I played a few of the earlier ones and it’s a very neat concept. www.kickstarter.com/projects/177...

Contest judging is now live! We only have 50 games this year so it’s your best chance to 100% the judging. theboardgameworkshop.com/design-conte...

We’re closing in on the final 48 hours to submit and currently have 25 games. Spread the word. theboardgameworkshop.com/design-conte...

Final 3 days to submit games to this year’s contest. Then we can start giving feedback. So far we have 20 entries and I’m seeing some interesting themes, mechanisms, and physical production. theboardgameworkshop.com/design-conte...

The Board Game Workshop is running their annual 🎲✂️ design contest, and the deadline is a lot earlier than in years past -- April 3, or just 5 days! I really enjoyed participating last year -- reviewing other games was a real highlight. Submit your game here: theboardgameworkshop.com/design-conte...

There is so much wrong with this range description. 🤦🏻‍♂️
