GMT has posted the P500 for Foxes and Lions, designed by the wonderful Paul Wright and Liz Davidson. This is the next game in the series that began with Here I Stand. I had a chance to play a demo last November and was so taken with its many innovations.

Great time gaming today at

. Got to play a 7-player Game of “Elizabeth England Aflame” by
@writegameread.bsky.social
. Really a lot of fun. Also, good time playing Maria with Ryan and
@djackthompson.bsky.social
. Probably the fastest game of Maria in history with a fast French victory.

It's been a crazy time as the new creative director at Leder Games, but I'm settling in. In fact, I am delighted to announce a major typographic improvement to all of our games, past and future: We will be changing our official font to Papyrus! Can't wait to share even more innovations.

Game #3 is Painkillers - it's a heavy historical game based on the American opioid epidemic. Players run pharmaceutical companies, trying to maximize their efficiency and bank as much personal wealth as possible without causing too much societal harm. It's a rough one, mechanically and emotionally.

Imps is a hand-stamped, small-batch take on mancala from this past indie market. With the slightest of modern touches, Nick Brachmann has created something that feels both timeless and new. Also, the imps are super adorable. My review:

The forthcoming Stellar Ventures blends cube rails, 18xx, and just a dash of 4x spacefaring to create a dense and intriguing playground of stock acquisition, corporate sabotage, and alien contact. Despite some fiddle, this is precisely my sort of thing. My preview:

I went to a boardgame night this evening at a pretty large brewery in Saint Paul. It's usually pretty quiet on Thursdays but I could barely find parking. When I got there I found out why. The place was packed with folks making protest signs for tomorrow. The atmosphere was infectious and joyful.

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.
