Relearning Unhappy King Charles - personally have difficulty when it comes to learning rules in general but decided to put effort into it this time around. Fantastic game and beautiful artwork from one of my favourite designers @charlesvasey.bsky.social @domhnallh.bsky.social #phalanxgames #GMT

Well that just changed my understanding of a classic.

Game designers who "can't draw" but want art for prototypes... beyond the wealth of public domain stuff available (there's lots) there are artists who make stuff that's VERY affordable and Itch has a ton on sale right now. #NoGenAI itch.io/game-assets/...

"[It] is a curious and interesting fact that, among musical games, those invented by women are very complicated and extraordinarily full of detail, while those invented by men are, with very rare exceptions, quite simple and generally adaptations from other games."

Carlos Ureta's illustrations for Queen of Spies are gorgeous, with each one telling a story. But this is my favorite combo: Alice the spymaster training her protégé, Sophie. @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social gamefound.com/en/projects/...

"Race to Rabaul 1943" is a forthcoming addition to the "Race to the Rhine" series by PHALANX. Volko Ruhnke made an excellent game where players have to wrestle with the push and pull of logistics in the Pacific theater. The adversarial gameplay is great. #wargaming @volko.bsky.social

A celebration of the Summit Award, highlighting board games that matter and push the boundaries (like past winners by @fredserval.bsky.social and @downtowntbrown.bsky.social), and what winning it for an anti-fascist game like Land and Freedom means in this climate. sdhist.com/alex-knight-...

In early 2023 @fredserval.bsky.social made a game we could give away at PunchedCON. I enjoyed the game, and @domhnallh.bsky.social art so much, I convinced @phalanxgames.bsky.social to publish it. And here it is. Excellent production by PHALANX as always. Can't wait to play it again!

This is a really important read, on the debacle that is metal detecting in the UK, dispelling lots of myths. Your regular reminder, it is illegal to prospect, without a licence from the state,,for archaeological objects in Ireland using a remote sensing device

The Rococo of Unhappy King Charles The exuberant beauty of the design for Unhappy King Charles is an aesthetic triumph UKC succeeds brilliantly as a marriage of game design and artistry that is rare in the world of boardgaming. Frankly, I am at a loss to think of any peers wp.me/pae4WL-cSV

Many 20th Century board game designers remain uncredited. This year I've tracked down designer info for 18 games. It's required artifact acquisition, access to newspaper archives, books, and even a trip from Detroit to Connecticut. My patreon producers made this possible. patreon.com/amabelholland
