Playthings is a strange but effective game, full of childlike wonder and childlike mischief, a celebration of the joys of play. Just be warned that it requires the right partners. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/06/24/p...

Go support a teenage boardgame designer! Such an awesome project—and the perfect way to truly support someone’s passion project. Limited to only 300 copies!

Honeycrisp is hybrid of Schnapsen and Trifle. (Get it?) It’s also got a little DNA from another game I adore: Crisps! After each trick, the winner decides to keep the current trump suit, or to draw the flipped up card and potentially change what trump becomes. bit.ly/3QlAzfL

Bad Queens Allowed is the merging of Trifle’s simple elegance with the inverted ranking and cutthroat gameplay of Vidrasso. 2P, trick-taking, a fixed trump rank in the Queens, player chosen trump suit, straw piles, and enough wrinkles to make my jeans look ironed. bit.ly/3SqlXfK

Greasy Spoon is one of my fav 2p shedders! Available here : www.newmillindustries.com/store/p/grea...

Checkout this co-op trick-taking game!

Alternatives to NY Times Games & Puzzles 🧵 If it bothers you that your passive games subscription and clicks to the NYT Games cartel is funding their awful OpEd army and "journalism," there are a wealth of puzzle/game options less iffy/yikes complicit, and many are direct clones to your NYT faves.

Wild Berries ( @allplay.bsky.social @marcelineleiman.bsky.social ) is a quick game about getting (and avoiding) cereal berries in your bowl, with end game and first to claim bonuses. This was an absolute delight to play and super easy to teach. Components not final, 📷 by @peppermintfox.bsky.social

Very proud to have sourced and developed one of my favorite games for Office Dog and to help bring it to more people! www.officedoggames.com/game/schaden...

At 2pm on Thursday at Origins, I'll be demonstrating/pitching a trick-taking game to a publisher. It works for 4-6 players. I currently have 3, including the publisher, a friend, and myself. Anyone interested in helping out for an hour?

My life now I guess

People Make Games just dropped a new documentary in my favourite genre: "Quinns travels to meet a beautiful maniac who's doing mind-bending game design" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is8N...

Quaternion Trick is now available! Don't let the theme scare you, it's nowhere near as complicated as it sounds 😄 www.thegamecrafter.com/games/quater...

Adding Des Goblin - Gurriers to the list of songs I wanna learn 🤘

It's boggles my mind Phil has <100 followers. The art is gorgeous! Go follow Phil!

Playing Trifle and using it as an excuse to break out the fancy Italian cards. #boardgames

Made a pin about my recent obsession with modern domino games.

Thanks a lot @seandavidross.bsky.social , another game of yours I can’t stop thinking about.

As we've been settling into our new lives here in Utrecht, I've had more time to devote to thinking about Hawk & Dove, its origin story, and how my experiences in gaming shape its DNA. Here are some thoughts. Please take a look if you're interested: www.hawkanddovegames.com/blog/origin-... Thanks!

I think the three people who follow me are all sick of hearing about this, sorry, but I’m gonna self-promote: I made a trick-taking chariot racing game called Tricus Maximus. It’s free, easy to play, and fun. There are rules cappallo.ca/games/tricus... and a video youtube.com/watch?v=Mr2p...

All I play anymore is... more than trick-takers. But it's still nice to dip my toe back in now and then, especially when the game is as streamlined and interesting as Dead Channels. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/06/08/d...

Chugga chugga chugga 💃

Pacts is a total banger. Here's the review in question: spacebiff.com/2025/12/08/p...

The domino renaissance is here! Check out these new games my friends have created 😄

May flew by fast

A gaming group recently gave me a tshirt with a few of their favorite games that I have taught them. Not surprisingly, three games from @dnlnwmn.bsky.social are on that tshirt 😁

If you are an ally, we are happy to have you with us. It's more important than ever that we protect each other's rights. Find ways to engage in direct action on behalf of LGBTQIA community. Solidarity and putting yourself on the line matters.

Happy pride month everyone! 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans children and adults are systematically killed, our autonomy and welfare removed on a day-by-day basis I’m damn proud to be trans. And mad. You should be too, but more Cis straight folk far make up the majority of voices. We need you to be madder and louder

Our first Special Presentation, tonight at 9pm EST! Stay Tuned~ #dominoes #boardgames

Next, @seandavidross.bsky.social and @shreesh.bsky.social released Butterscotch! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47... As the name implies, it is a smooth as butter climber for teams of 2. Really dig this one. Fans of Crisps will like the “crispish” bombing that happens.

I thought last year was trick taking heavy but wow. I think Hot Streak is maybe one of my favorite games to ever exist, but the surprise of what Lord of the Rings was cannot be ignored.

Trying this out. It’s a lot of fun. Similar to Odin but with a bit more thinky.

Some morning Even at Odds by @byssh3.bsky.social with my partner. A wonderful duel game you should definitely check out. Has the Hive elements that the pieces are the board and also that most games feel different from each other.

New 2v2 climber alert! 😍

www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZc1... A single hand of Trifle (by me, with wonderful art by @saibep.bsky.social ) gets played near the start.

Hot hot hot!
