「Shinjuku 」is one of the few games in Yellow Submarine that warrants an anti-theft device.

Sold Out!

At Sai Beppu's Game Market booth, she had a limited number of "business card" tokens. #ゲムマ秋2026

My hotel has a side table that's the perfect size for a Costco sushi tray and I don't think this is an accident.

「Shinjuku」sighting at the Yellow Submarine in Ikebukuro.

Costco Japan still has chopped onion dispensers!!

Early lunch means that I can finally get into the teppanyaki restaurant that was always fully reserved when I tried in the past.

Is probably a bit of nostalgia (having played on the Genesis), but I love these Sonics. I managed to escape buying only one thing, but I'm feeling drawn back.

Benefits of waking up early: I had the onsen to myself from 4:30-5am. I'm now considering my options for building one in our basement at home.

The Anker store has electric-type Pokémon chargers. For sale in Japan only.

Vending machines. Ikebukuro.

This sign (for a salon called "Carry") is more menacing than I think they intended.

I almost bought the cutest donuts. Unbelievable that Suica is retiring their penguin logo next year.

This place in Shibuya reminded me of this Far Side cartoon. Not sure why...

Impressed with how specific you can be with your dried squid snacks.

I love it when I encounter a translation where I know what they mean, but no, we don't use that word.

Tokyo day 1 I seriously underestimated how nice it is to have an onsen (even a small one) available for your first night.

As a board game designer, I was tempted to simply select all of them. And also, let me tell you about my new cooperative game where you sort and stack recently washed dishes. Possibly even putting them on shelves.

Then I guess it's not a financially sustainable organization. They'll have to close some locations or shorten their hours. Alternatively, we could end the public navy and let private navies provide this service.

Printed a large (11x17") bilingual map for Game Market next week. One of the last stages of preparation for the trip.

Shinjuku reprint (Japanese edition) will be available at Game Market 2026 Spring later this month. twitter.com/rigoler_/sta...

More memories with Psygramps

You’re telling me a CHICKEN fried these dice?! 🐓🎲 Just a few more hours to get in on the CFD Kickstarter. This game is amazing and made by some lovely people here in Seattle. Highly recommended: www.kickstarter.com/projects/urb... #boardgames

Love you Portland

The PNW Tabletop Market at Pax West is happening again and applications are open through 4/19! If you’ve got a scrappy/quirky/weird/home made game you want to make and sell 20-50 copies of this is your chance! Excited to see what you’ve got : ) www.alwaysawake.games/pnw-tabletop...

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

Japanese reprint of Shinjuku releasing on 25 April 2026. Pre-orders start 1 April. AIUI, the only changes from the 1st printing is: * Correcting typo on map * Changing ink on yellow pieces to improve visibility x.com/rigoler_/sta...

So sad PPG closed. They were my go-to for getting fast prototypes made. 🙁

Taking a stone carving class. Starting to make progress.

I can see it

Chicken Fried Dice is the sort of roll-and-write I would introduce to my sister's family, a mid-weight, mid-complexity, mid-math game about building the most successful food truck. My preview: spacebiff.com/2026/03/27/c...

Reminder that when using Ditto's Vacuum/Suck ability, you should walk towards the camera so you can truly appreciate the horror.

I looks like my plans for today (week? month?) have just been changed.

What To Know About ‘Sinners’ https://theonion.com/what-to-know-about-sinners/

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

I'm glad this is being resolved, but every time a Kickstarter campaign decides to say nothing for months on end because nothing significant has changed, it's always the wrong decision. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tal...

PrintPlayGames.com closing as of 27 March 2026. 😱 They are (were) my go-to for prototypes.

Updated prototype cards for alternate Shinjuku maps: Seoul, Paris and Osaka. Plan is to playtest with people unfamiliar with these city maps and see if the cards are more readable than the earlier ones.

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

I think a lot board gamers underestimate the depth of light games and overestimate the depth of heavy games. More moving parts does not necessarily mean a game has more strategy. It often just means there's more noisiness obscuring the impact of your decisions.
