🤜💥🤛 DUALIS This 2v2 trick taking game comes from the designer of TRICKARUS—one of my favorites. DUALIS consists of 2 suits within 2 suits. Players must follow black/white but red/blue determine trump/scoring. Some clever combos to explore here & an absolutely stellar production.

Teaser for a game I'm working on!

Play this game in person! If not, here’s a fun online alternative you can try. 😊

tabletopia.com/games/even-a... My two-player abstract strategy domino game, Even At Odds, is now live at Tabletopia for anyone to play! If you try it, let me know how it goes! (I’m sure there’s some improvements I could make, haha)

Shout-out to all the kids who know this is wrong, despite authority figures and media outlets saying otherwise. I was right, and so are you.

Crisps at #1 spot!! 🥰 This stirred up a lot of feelings. Thanks for the wonderful review!

Damn, the end got me tearing up too

Trifle cards by @saibep.bsky.social. Coming to the Tokyo Game Market in May 2026.

@25thcentury.games Question! I just got Sunny Day Sardines in the mail, and I have these two cards that were in a pouch all by themselves. I don’t see them in the rulebook, but am I correct in assuming they’re just used as “wild” fish cards?

As expected: PACTS IS GOOD! I cut, you choose is such a dope mechanic.

We’re kicking off 2026 with DJanuary, in honor of Daniel (DJ) Kenel. His games Best Shot, Big Wave, and Dino Trix are all discounted (roughly 20% off) for the month of January! DJ’s a fantastic designer and his games deserve more love.

Tomorrow: Pacts Tuesday: Tasso Banana and Sunlight Sardines Soon: Nokosu Dice, Bested Another Time Later: Care package from @cityhare.studio Mailbox on fire.

This was just my day on the first? What a good omen for the year!

Look at that beautiful logo for EAO! 🤩

Now that the year has officially concluded, this is the official final count for me!

BONES FOR THE BONE THRONE

youtube.com/shorts/YnPQJ... THE YEAR OF THE DOMINO IS FINALLY STARTING! MAY YOUR BONES BE BLESSED AS THE PROPHET @boardgameanimal.bsky.social DO DECLARE!

All that matters is I started this year by finishing our last 2025 game of Skull King not only as the victor, not only tying my wife for total games won, but having the household all-time score of 450.

Finally, a table firework that makes sense! 🎆 Instead of plastic trash, we got travel-sized Dominoes & Snakes and Ladders. Fits the last gap in the shelf perfectly. My wife asked if I'm logging these plays in the app. Uh, yes? A win is a win! 🎲🤏🏆 #BoardGames #BGG #Loot

I've waited 3 years to make this post

boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/369... I decided to talk about the games I just thought a lot about this year for my “best of” list. I think it’s a good list. :)

vibe for the week

More new indie board games!

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

My mom listened and got me Compile Main 2, I’m so stoked!

I'm now an award-winning artist! For real: @knaveofcups.com is so great, and I'm so happy that they stock my stuff!

It has begun. Best Week. The only year-end list that matters. And for the first day of Best Week 2025, we're celebrating the board games that transported us to new places, showed us wondrous sights, or used their visuals to illuminate a topic. Read here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/26/b...

Happy jerboas 🐭

My wife, who is only exposed to board game culture through me, has announced her top three games for the year: 3: Skull King 2: Shady Lady 1: Crisps!

A good gift for the game designer in your life: go rate their games on BGG, lol

...Merry Christmas.

The cover to my social deduction game *Wednesday: Friend or Woe* has been revealed!!! 🕸️ Releasing in 2026!! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45...

I don’t know how you did it, but big ups to you @tricktaking.bsky.social for the solo mode of Bested Another Time. I’m not sure what about it is grasping me so solidly, but I’ve played twice and just want to keep playing more. Core design work on this game is just rock solid.

Tabletop gamers, this Ransom Note is for you (regardless of pronoun) you're beautiful

Snakes, Hawks, and Kitties. Oh my! No wonder the mice in 🧀 Haunted Mouse are terrified. Help these poor mice wake up from their nightmares! ✨ Late Pledges Are Open! bit.ly/TwoHorrorGam...

I frequently send this kinda thing to @hotcyder.bsky.social for my thumbnails

Design is just exploring the millions of possible inputs you can use to get the same or similar output (or in this case, open a babybel)

It’s Pacts Day: For Real!

It’s Pacts day!

Already was a dog But now I’m becoming a Domino Obsessed Gamer

Go support Amabel’s patreon!! She’s earnestly one of the best things I look forward to on YouTube these days. Her work is beyond compare, and incredibly needed and important beyond the scope of the videos themselves. patreon.com/AmabelHollan...

It’s Pacts week! Yay!!

Here is the colour draft.

A good day :)

Idk if Kamen Rider counts, but it’s my closest thing.
