Un jeu toujours aussi sympathique ! @fredserval.bsky.social

Thanks for the new bio @danthurot.bsky.social and @senetmagazine.bsky.social

Played A Very Civil Whist with @odedot.bsky.social - wie had a really good time! @fredserval.bsky.social

Cannes Gaming festival is quite fun

Big shout-out to the crew of @fredserval.bsky.social Homo Ludens “We Intend to Move on Your Works” podcast: @pierrevj.bsky.social @drcrossbows.bsky.social and Alexandre.I have literally devoured all the episodes in my commute in the past 2 weeks and greatly enjoyed the discussion.Can’t wait 4 more!

So yeah, that's unethical and also super cringe. What I like to do is a punctual "purge", I give games away to people on my discord, I just ask for shipping costs, and sometimes I travel with batches of games to cons to give them directly.

C'est LE danger le plus évident avec cette criminalisation de l'anti fascisme : invalider toute logique d'auto défense. En répétant "mais le fascisme n'existe plus vous n'avez rien à craindre... si vous etes comme nous, si vous bossez assez, si vous vous taisez, si vous avez la bonne religion..."

Blessed to have the #DungeonDive do a little overview of the MIRU Hex Kit! Unprompted at that! I've been shipping orders all month from my living room. Blizzard gonna slow me down today, but more go out tomorrow! May ALORA be with you. #rpg #hexcrawl #boardgame youtu.be/eokbRB_Y2CU?...

A very Civil Whist von @fredserval.bsky.social, @phalanxgames.bsky.social. In ein 2P Stichspiel verpackt trägt man hier den englischen Bürgerkrieg ab 1642 aus. Verschiedene Events beeinflussen das Geschehen. Ein hochinteressanter, kurzweiliger Mix mit mehr Tiefe als gedacht. #Brettspiele #boardgames

Might eventually cobble together a blog, depends on how regular I end up doing these! Little review on Brian Asklev's upcoming Baltic Empires from GMT boardgamegeek.com/thread/36612...

Today I emailed publishers about a concerning practice a board game media creator engaged in. This will likely become public, so I'm providing the details here to give the full context of what I shared. 1) Document: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o8ovt... 2) Video: youtu.be/fHXGWflPj4c 1/2

I am basically an atheist, materialist, rationalist, whatever, but I also yearn for the cosmos to be spookier & weirder than it is. Just some goblins hiding out in the woods, some aliens, a few ghosts here & there, the occasional clash between warring factions of time travellers, cunning folk etc

Been a bit! I severely underestimated how much time I'd have to script, film, and edit a new How to Play during the holidays, BUT... Check out this How to Play for A Very Civil Whist, designed by @fredserval.bsky.social and published by @phalanxgames.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVZY...

Thanks to @molotovcockatiel.bsky.social

Loved this chat between @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social and @fredserval.bsky.social , interesting to hear the machinations and experiences of game design from the designers of great games : youtu.be/eXG4AhEA-xM?...

Gestern kam noch ein bisschen was Neues bei mir an 😁 A very civil Whist von @fredserval.bsky.social und @phalanxgames.bsky.social sowie Bannockburn 1314 von TS (Taktykaistrategia), einem polnischen Publisher. Bin auf beides sehr gespannt 😄 #Brettspiele #wargames #boardgames

Played Rivoli as our second visit, corking game. Thanks @fredserval.bsky.social

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A Very Civil Whist is @fredserval.bsky.social's take on the English Civil War and trick-taking. This one is excellent. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/01/09/a...

Played @fredserval.bsky.social ‘a Gest of Robin Hood last night. Struggled mightily against the sheriff and barely managed to eke out a Justice win…

We present today A Very Civil Whist - wargame with an interesting combination of trick-tracking, area control and German Whist mechanics. Enjoy the material! Link: theboardgameschronicle.com/2026/01/09/u... @fredserval.bsky.social @phalanxgames.bsky.social

One of the frenchiest thing I've seen in a while: a Naruto themed galette des rois 😙👌

This 3d printing thing is fun

So it begins... 🚀 @iongamedesign.com

Going live in 2h30 minutes !

Last stream of the year tomorrow night! I'll play Brandywine 1777, with the designer Yves Roig. Expect some big franglish energy 🥖 www.youtube.com/live/M6wNYJj...

Just received some homework from @nevawargames.bsky.social already read the sea & steel rulebook, should be able to have a first play before the new year.

Happy holidays everyone!

here’s an Elon Musk Christmas Tale. Merry Xmas everyone ❤️

I got my ticket, did you?!

Read the last design diary for The Hooded Man: A Roleplaying Game of Medieval Outlaws, from the author Graham Rose, today! 📜 OUT NEXT WEEK 📜 https://bit.ly/48uJTUD

This is a great book, I recommend it to people interested in the ACW but also anyone interested in how historical myths are created and spread. I wrote a review of it some years back www.stuartellisgorman.com/blog/searchi...

Seeing the responses to the boardgame recommendations piece @senetmagazine.bsky.social curated for @theguardian.com is so gratifying. Loads of people going 'wait... this list is actually good?' There's such a demand for quality mainstream boardgame coverage & I hope editors take note.

Eine Geschichte von Robin Hood. Schaut Euch meine Regelerklärung an. Videos zu Spielaufbau, Komplotten und Taten sowie ein paar Tipps folgen. Viel Spaß beim Zuschauen. Ich freue mich über Feedback zu meinem ersten Content. #Brettspiele @gmtgames.bsky.social #RobinHood youtu.be/0N6M3nV6MGM?...

Had the chance to sit down with Adrien Martinot who co-designed Star Wars: Battle of Hoth with big boy Borg. Great chat about a very cool game and an excellent entry point into the magical world of Commands & Colors: youtu.be/HvvJJKKUKw0

Despite our furnace being knocked out for the first major cold snap of the year, it was a lovely week! What did you get to the table?

We’re also in The Guardian (Saturday magazine) today, recommending board games! What a day!

Talking about the “clean Wehrmacht myth”, this text from a recently released game is a fairly good example. I’m sure the Soviet authorities weren’t specially kind to the population, but they seem to have forgotten to mention some minor details about the Nazis in Russia. @fredserval.bsky.social

In a few hours the campaign for Queen of Spies will go live. This game is super important to me, as it will be the first published design from me and my bestie @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social. Stunning work from @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social and Meeple Foundry! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Today I played a fun match of A Gest of Robin Hood against my lovely wife. It is such a great game by @fredserval.bsky.social and @gmtgames.bsky.social. Soon you'll find an article about the GMT Irregular Conflict Series on my Blog armoredpawn.com.
