Well damn. #Metatopia2025 was absolutely fantastic. I'm excited for next year.

PS: shout out to @thejaybell.bsky.social, whose game Pip It should really get picked up by a publisher soon. It’s an incredible dice flicking game.

Pretty tasty.

Honestly, if you aren't going to be the Michael Mell to my Jeremy Heere then I don't want it. #BeMoreChill "It's an effed up world, but it's a two player game."

I really hope Tate McRae calls her fans Tater Tots.

The Selina Gomez Oeros are fantastic. 10/10

Really interesting game here. I'm excited to see the final product.

ok but actually this is a good time to remind you that DC has no voting representatives in Congress. If you DO have representation, please tell them you want them to do everything possible to withdraw federal law enforcement agencies and the National Guard from DC. freedcproject.org/allies

Is there a name for the way Pokémon can only say their name (or parts of it)?

I feel like the days and weeks are just bleeding into one big... thing. 😩😩

twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.

Below, is an extremely offensive image from the game Ace of Spades published by Devir Games. The cavalier use of a slavery theme about a game that could LITERALLY BE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE and the offensive images to push this theme is abhorrent. You all should know better. 1/3

First playtest of my family friendly word game went well. 🎉🎉

Here are the new games I ended up keeping. If you're looking for some for yourself I recommend checking these out.

K-Pop Demon Hunters? Pitch perfect. No notes.

Told the lady next to me on the plane about Carcassonne. 🙂

A friend of mine is scrolling Kristen and I through her Hinge app. Holy shit. It's a wild world out there. This is... eye opening.

🎲✂️ This one is coming together nicely. Working on some points balancing and how often the blind auction happens. It's interesting because the points you can earn mid-game directly influence resource value in the end-game. Kristen and I played pretty fast and loose. Score came out 111 to 129.

I need a cozy mobile game. Any suggestions on something that helps you pass the time or relax?

Here's the proof.

So... I did a backflip today. Like an unassisted, full-fledge, jump and tuck backflip. ✅️ ✅️ ✅️

While shopping at Uniqlo I experienced the weirdest conversation... Random Indian man: Are you shopping for yourself or your family? (Not realizing he was talking to me, mainly because he walking about four feet behind me, I didn't respond. He repeated the question a second time.)

It's another Crowdfunding Tuesday! We are excited to see the 2nd printing of @rosegauntlet.bsky.social's Wild Garden funding, PLUS, the debut of the new Foraging Club expansion; adding more characters, special abilities, and a Magic Tour bus board.

Happy Pride to those who celebrate (and those still afraid to!)!!! 🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍🌈

How three different types of contracts in board games work: licensing an intellectual property for tabletop, signing a designer’s game, and overseas publishing partnerships

I'm currently working on a board game design right now that effectively plays like a solo game but it requires two human players. Think GM and player vs multiplayer solitaire. Curious if any games with a similar player relationship exist outside of TTRPGs. 🎲✂️

✂️🎲 bringing this back because I worked out the component list and estimated cost. It's actually not as wild as I thought it would be. 162 cards and 42 standard dice (plus potentially 5 custom dice). ~$5.50 unit cost with a few hundred in tooling.

🎲✂️ Tonight at 9PM EDT @senfoonglim.bsky.social and @drayerink.bsky.social talk with @burntislandgames.bsky.social / @kidstablebg.bsky.social and @thejaybell.bsky.social about the 2025 SdJ Awards and the @cardboardedison.com Award! Chat with us at facebook.com/MeepleSyrup or youtube.com/MeepleSyrup

5th place overall! Pip It was been an extremely fun design, and I can't wait to see where it goes. I'm pretty bad at celebrating myself, so I'm trying to change that. 😅 I love board games, and creating them for others to enjoy is one of the my greatest joys.

Gen Con attendees!! Who wants to go to the Gen Con Dance with me??

Well damn... guess I'm spending money today.

🎲✂️ I'm gonna sleep on it but for those of you who know Pip It, how close would you say it feels to corn hole? Consider this theme. You play in a graveyard as skeletons vs zombies flinging your heads (white or green dice) into graves, then take them out when you need them. "Creepy Corn Hole"

What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold!

Quite the payoff

Oh. Hey, new game idea. Who invited you to the party?

Recalling my utter disappointed when this was played at my wedding reception and no one caught the vibe. Like... this song, especially the bridge, is a criminally underrated wedding banger. youtu.be/cLyUcAUMmMY?...

Pam Bondi says ICE agents can enter ANYBODY’S home without a warrant to find “illegals.” Baby girl fuck you. Grown men are NOT coming into my house looking for a goddamn thing. I’ll sue you bitches to the STRATOSPHERE Signed, Someone who already sued the Dept. of Corrections and won.

Thank you Lindsey (and @rosegauntlet.bsky.social) for bringing this up. I haven't seen this angle mentioned before in the tariff and "move production elsewhere" discussion. And it's a valuable point.

Forgot to post this fun interview. Clint is awesome, and so is Necromolds. Find out what it took to make the game a... smash hit. 🤪 youtu.be/leFd9ethl3w?...

Pro tip: When cutting cards, you can use a couple pieces of tape layered together to form a guide to make repeatable cuts quickly and precisely.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Incredible turnout at the #HandsOff rally in Boston

At least now I understand how he bankrupted a casino

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.
