me when the rulebook explains concepts before the structure of the game

Full disclosure I just watched @kovray.bsky.social ‘s snappy yet comprehensive overview of the rules (oh and Matt Leacock is a designer on this) youtu.be/330DgeMfWLM?...

I'm listening to Mandi, OFPG, Kenna (Coyote & Crow) and others on this one. But I will chime in to say - two of my favorite publishers are from Spain. They produce games centered thematically around cultures not their own. And they manage to not use racist caricatures that were outdated 25 years ago

For all those who love cooperative games and small boxes: youtu.be/330DgeMfWLM The Four Doors is just *chefs kiss. It's designed by some incredible folks, and the decision making is just snappy and filled with opportunity. Gives vibes of Forbidden Island mixed with Pandemic. We loved it.

Played these two two player only games today! Both fantastic and a delight :)

There were some really rad games that came out at this year's Gen Con! Check out our HOUR LONG Recap Video: youtu.be/8n2uxynQiCE Lots to talk about, and lots to share!

It's AUGUST, which means we have our TOP 5 of July for you! youtu.be/qSPsqRR9Ugg This month was a bit quieter for us, as summer is in full swing and we tried to spend many days and weekends outdoors, but nevertheless games were played!

I totally missed this during #GenCon, but what a great action shot of the Squirrel Away live play with @banzainator.bsky.social, Grant Lyon, @ezeekat.bsky.social, @thingsgetdicey.bsky.social and @kovray.bsky.social!

gotta say, when you can't even name the thing or the person that's ... something! let's make it easy: 1) HP author really doesn't like trans people 2) HP author explicitly states that buying HP stuff (like HP codenames) is an endorsement of her viewpoint 3) HP author funds anti-trans legislation
