Catan with Huge Baby as the robber!

Hot Streak ABSOLUTELY lives up to the hype

There isn't a boardgames wrapped but MAGICAL ATHLETE is easily my favourite of 2025 - I've played loads of times and it never stops being funny and interesting. I love introducing people to it. Huge recommendation! (not sure you can get it everywhere yet soz)

Ahh cool Wilmot's Warehouse made the Guardian's 30 Best Boardgames for Christmas! Loads of other great stuff in there too..

This past weekend I participated in @boshis.place 's Game Manual Jam to make a manual for a speculative video game. I'm really pleased with how this came out so I want to talk about it—here's my submission: Old School! (thread!)

Betting on Queen Mum financially ruined me in Hot Streak.

Podcast! This week, Tom and Matt are finally tackling the dynamic duo of Hot Streak and Magical Athlete! Spoilers; they’re both absolutely fabulous. The games. Though the lads do have their moments. www.shutupandsitdown.com/podcastle/po...

We just launched TWO new Magenta titles: the instant classic I'm Out and the 20+ year old classic No Thanks! No Thanks: www.cmyk.games/collections/... I'm Out: www.cmyk.games/collections/...

We finally did it. After 10 years, we remade Monikers from scratch: new art, new card design, updated rules—no points!—and a huge content refresh: www.cmyk.games/collections/...

Magical Athlete is back after 22 years. This is board gaming reduced to its base elements, and the result is electric. The new edition from CMYK is perfect, maybe the best update of a game I've ever seen. My review: playerelimination.com/2025/09/16/g...

Hot Streakers: Jon and Alex are doing a Reddit AMA right now! www.reddit.com/r/boardgames...

Why bet on horses when you can bet on D-list mascots? Hot Streak is a revelation. Rarely is a game equal parts absurd and committed. My review: playerelimination.com/2025/06/16/i...

If there's one thing I wish the boardgame crowd could internalize, it's this. You never hear designers say "Oh there's nothing to it" pejoratively about a game. If it's said, it's usually in AWE.

This is hands down my favorite race/betting/party game. I've played it a handful of times at different events over the last few months and every one has been a blast. It a perfect depiction of mascot races down to the human eyes inside the costumes.

Our latest game with @perryjon.bsky.social is a literal banger. Cannot WAIT for you to play it 🌭

Thrilled to dive into Figment, the reimagining of Illusions! 🎉 Match cards by color, strategize for bonus points, and flip to score! After 5 rounds, tally up your points and tokens. Our game night got wild with this gem! 😂 @cmyk.games

Would attend

Illusion (now aka Figment) is the one and only game my parents went out and bought for themselves after playing it with me. Now to be a game show?!?! Congrats to @cmyk.games & Wolfgang Warsch!

Some professional news!
