My review of @dnlnwmn.bsky.social Folia Folio has...ahem...dropped. #boardgames #boardgame #tabletopgaming therewillbe.games/articles-boa...

“It’s like Ameritrash trick-taking” This is surreal because I’ve loved Joel’s videos ever since I first got into the hobby. Seeing that he really understood what the game was going for and had fun with it is just so cool.

HUGE Announcement!! I’m thrilled to reveal we’re starting a podcast: BATS! The “BoardGame-Animal-Talk-Show” With special guests: Reiner Knizia @dnlnwmn.bsky.social Ammon Anderson @asmeesh.bsky.social @ithayla.bsky.social & MORE to reveal!!~ Coming late December, stay tuned!! #boardgames

Daily bunny no.3135 found a cool pinecone

I spent my night cutting, folding, and packing my first 20 sets of Heavenly Bodies!! 🪐✨ the card game I’ll have for sale at Indie Games Night Market during Pax Unplugged this year! After this, I’ll only have 30 more sets to go!! Here’s a thread of my process! 🎲✂️

Hand drawing all these beans was a blast. Honestly surprised people have been enjoying my artwork. Never really considered myself capable of doing such a thing before, but Joe posed the idea to me and I thought it could be my wheelhouse to draw a bunch of stinky cartoony beans. 😆

Microfishing is a 2-player fishing game based on Escoba where you'll play cards from hand to capture fish from the Lake (the table). As long as the played card and the Lake card(s) add to 18, you'll capture them! Rules and a print-ready PDF are linked below. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Less than 12 hours remain for the Midnight Market! www.lunarpunk.games/midnightmarket I'm going to be hanging out and packaging games for about 5 hours, AMA! You can ask me in voice too if you like, I'm gonna be hanging in discord. discord.gg/8mw58Vk9rt

“Sketches for Lefty” We unfortunately are struggling right now to do some major unexpected life changes, insurance issues, & the many vet bills due to Lefty’s stroke/infection issue I didn’t want to ask for “help” but if you’re interested, please read below & reach out~ Anything’s appreciated

There's no massive marketing campaign behind this. It's pure indie creation. Your support helps bring cool games like this into the world. Let's get this over the finish line!

There’s no way we’re getting to all eight… But here’s the menu for game night tonight! Too much hotness to handle!!!

Development has begun to add Trick or Bid to Trickster's Table! You'll soon be able to play a digital version of it! The developer does a great job of adding bots for solo play. I'm excited to see this happen. boardgamegeek.com/thread/36032...

Okay!! The publisher has given me the green light to make the ✨ *BIG ANNOUNCEMENT* ✨ I worked on an IP-based social deduction game coming out next year!!!!!! And not only that—but it’s based on the Netflix show Wednesday!!! 🦇💀 Cover reveal coming in the future!! 🎲✂️

I designed a card game! This is Haunted Mouse and you can join me in this tutorial to see how it plays :) youtu.be/jeYycf5aqZc

Released the rules for a new 3p climber! It’s a main‑course offering, and it isn’t for everyone. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45...

I have a few more copies of my first self-published game, Live Evil, with me. Any friends want a copy? boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/43...

I’m thrilled to share we have a special video going through *every* game at the 2025 Indie Games Night Market (at PaxU)! We’re working with @dnlnwmn.bsky.social, some awesome designers, playing some games, all to give you a thorough set of previews & reviews to see the games you won’t want to miss~

The primary advantage of using Signal over WhatsApp is that Signal does not store metadata. Just sayin'. www.forbes.com/sites/the-wi...

So hyped for this one!!

Chasing Shadows is David Spalinski's follow-up to last year's Torchlit. This is an uncommon trick-taker that uses its setting as more than spackle — and it's one of the best examples of the genre I've played in years. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/10/21/c...

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Don't photograph anyone else at a protest either.

Daily bunny no.3109's seafaring days are behind him

Let's Go!!!!! Dan knows em when he sees them! I'm so proud of my friend, Connor. I'm so grateful for folks like Dan taking time out of their schedule to take chances and risks with the indie scene! Much respect <3

Might as well end with a call to action for people who might not feel they can make a thing. Just make it. Make the thing. It doesn't have to be pretty. It doesn't have to be good. But it has to be true to you and who you are.

Tariffs are putting US game companies out of business. (Note this is the US subsidiary of AMIGO, not the whole German company)

I had an utterly lovely time chatting with Alex of Talking Shelf Space about... well, a bunch of stuff. My origins in the hobby, how I started writing my site, how I got to be such a nerd. Give it a look! talkingshelfspace.com/origin-story...

Finally played Crisps! by @shreesh.bsky.social and art by @saibep.bsky.social. A real treat at the end of the week. “A cute little game” says Rachel.

Secret is finally out!!!

The game I haven't talked about much that I recently got in is Quattro Trick-Taking by Taiki Shinzawa. If that name sounds familiar, it's because he's a super prolific trick taking designer from Japan and you've likely played at least one of his games. 9 Lives, Ghosts of Christmas, Maskmen, etc.

Our latest New Mill review is here! Scarily good card games! Yonkai no Yokai, RoboKraft, Fright Factor, & Vegeterrors! youtu.be/CyQxJe0nUao?... #tricktaking #cardgames @dnlnwmn.bsky.social @saibep.bsky.social @nickferris.bsky.social @asmeesh.bsky.social @thisnorthernboy.bsky.social

I don't write about my favorite games often enough, so I think I'll be starting to do that monthly. These five games sit as my favorite roll-and-write games — at least for now. #boardgames
