Just saw Queen of Spies get announced by @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social. Another solo game with @djackthompson.bsky.social involved….count me in!!!! #boardgames

Look at this thing of beauty from my favorite designer: Paolo Mori. Just listened to @danthurot.bsky.social’s excellent interview with Paolo and his co-designer Alessandro Zucchini. Highly recommended.

Carlos Ureta's illustrations for Queen of Spies are gorgeous, with each one telling a story. But this is my favorite combo: Alice the spymaster training her protégé, Sophie. @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social gamefound.com/en/projects/...

In a few hours the campaign for Queen of Spies will go live. This game is super important to me, as it will be the first published design from me and my bestie @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social. Stunning work from @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social and Meeple Foundry! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

@beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social Just was reading rules for Queen of Spies today. Coincidentally I’m currently listening to this podcast. Season 3 (4 episodes total per season) may interest all of you! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Leaving for @sdhistcon.bsky.social tomorrow and I'm super excited to be taking an ultra, mega top secret project that I'm working on with @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social. It's totally unlike anything else I've ever worked on.

Tagging also great friends (@playersaidblog.bsky.social, @cliosboardgames.bsky.social, @playersaidalex.bsky.social) I met at Essen and prolific designers (@trzewik.bsky.social, @djackthompson.bsky.social, @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social) whose games I could play!

General Orders WW2 von @djackthompson.bsky.social und @ospreygames.bsky.social. In diesem sehr flotten, area control wargame nutzen wir Standard- und Kartenaktionen, um die Map zu beherrschen. In nur 4 Runden hat man 20+ Aktionen, um das Ziel zu erreichen. Sehr intensiv 👍 #Brettspiele #boardwargames

From Normandy to the moons of Jupiter, @ospreygames.bsky.social's Undaunted is one of the best wargame series of recent years For WS7 @danthurot.bsky.social spoke to @djackthompson.bsky.social, @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social's & Roland MacDonald about its evolution shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr...

There's a whole game about this battle from the excellent @djackthompson.bsky.social boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/31...

It’s here and it is a real game and everything!!! @djackthompson.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social

In the house! The upcoming Queen of Spies, a solo game of espionage set in World War I, designed by Liz Davidson and David Thompson. I'm looking forward to exploring this one! :) #boardwargames #boardgames @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social

@djackthompson.bsky.social & @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social - thanks for another great design. I just had a chance to play For the Gods at @SPIEL_Messe - a lot of fun and can’t wait to see it at Kickstarter!

Queen of Spies is coming to Gamefound Dec. 4, and there is a banner for it at Essen! The number of people who have sent me photos warms my heart. @djackthompson.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social

The folks over at Hopeless Games are doing a livestream of War Story: Occupied France tonight (Thu, 16 Oct) at 9 Eastern. I'm hoping to stop by when it kicks off. Should be fun! @ospreygames.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/hopelessstream

CAN. NOT. WAIT. First ever co-design with the amazing Brett J. Gilbert (and 48,237th co-design with the similarly awesome @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social). Also my first collaboration with @mightyboards.bsky.social, and it's been fantastic. 2e0yc.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/1...

Wow - what a great mail day! @thesecretcabal.bsky.social

Going on a family vacation this weekend to Mohican State Park. Hot Streak just arrived - perfect timing. @thesecretcabal.bsky.social @sowronggames.bsky.social

Just finished my fifth game of the excellent new General Orders: Sengoku Jidai! Beautifully produced (cute wooden ships!), intensely tactical, and well paced. Thanks to @djackthompson.bsky.social, @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social, and @ospreygames.bsky.social for another wonderful design.

Had a great 2p game day with my local gaming buddy yesterday. @ospreygames.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social A couple of classics (A Few Acres of Snow and Targi), my new hotness (Toy Battle), and one my co-designs (General Orders: Sengoku Jidai).

⚔️Play General Orders: Sengoku Jidai @ SPIEL Essen! We'll have 4 demo tables every day of the show, running 1hr slots with new sign-ups opening each morning. // STAND 3.M600// ✏️Check out the game's design diary from @djackthompson.bsky.social on @boardgamegeek.com: https://bit.ly/4pOoOeB

A new review up on @meeplemountain.com today, looking at David Thompson and Trevor Benjamin's General Orders: Sengoku Jidai, which refines the mixed results of the first game into an excellent experience. @ospreygames.bsky.social www.meeplemountain.com/reviews/gene...

Of course featuring the incredible work of @djackthompson.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social Brett J Gilbert, @kwanchai.bsky.social & Harry Conway~

Can Monique and Naveen overcome the sinister Fomorians? Who will become High Ruler of Ancient Ireland?! Find out in this new playthrough of Moytura! (Now on Kickstarter 🚀) @beforeyouplay.bsky.social @djackthompson.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social youtu.be/MQohSeB4B2c?...

Just posted our review of Moytura & Azure, @bitewinggames.bsky.social’s two great new duelers by @djackthompson.bsky.social, @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social & Brett J Gilbert. I really like that these broaden the publisher’s line in some surprising ways. youtu.be/TeGl3j2E7Cw

Got a chance to play Sniper Elite last night, once as the hunters, once as the sniper. It’s a pliable & snappy system making a pretty great blend of tactical combat and hidden movement, even if the modern warfare aesthetic has never really done anything for me. #boardgames @djackthompson.bsky.social

This week in sports the Falcons beat Minnesota, the Fever advanced to the semi-finals, and the Braves went 7-0. My three favorite teams crushed it - what a week!

I assume this was made specifically for @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social and @djackthompson.bsky.social

This week we’re working on coverage for Azure & Moytura, two cool new games from @bitewinggames.bsky.social launching next week. Both proved fun in some surprising ways, catching me off guard with the accelerating rhythm with low overhead, and of course their usual fantastic production. #boardgames

It’s coming! @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @bitewinggames.bsky.social youtu.be/4nXERtgt-so?...

Played my first game of General Orders: Sengoku Jidai by @djackthompson.bsky.social and @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social with my daughter. She won on the tie breaker. Such a compact, but deep game. Thank you for the reveiw copy, @ospreygames.bsky.social. Review to follow. 😃👍 #ProudDad #boardgames

Beautiful, elegant, compact & quick to play - this is General Orders: Sengoku Jidai. Let us learn more about the newest game from @djackthompson.bsky.social & @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social. Enjoy! 👇👇👇 theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/09/12/i... @ospreygames.bsky.social
