The leadership of the Tabletop Game Designers Association was disappointed to see the publisher CGE touting Codenames: Back to Hogwarts, a new Harry Potter-themed version of Codenames.

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

Youtube algorithm suggested Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe to me today. Haven't heard that song in forever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2up7...

I wish people would present personal opinions more like “This thing isn’t for me” and less of “This thing is bad”.

Finally found it at a FLGS. ❤️

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

June plays! Apiary and Unconscious Mind were highlights.

Took all weekend to overhaul this prototype to send to the publisher. It’s a bit of a beast!

Raising Chicago

May plays! Favorites were Wyrmspan and Hot Streak.

"One of the best things about Mutton Bustin is how it brings people of all ages together. My teenagers are laughing and hollering alongside my 8-year-old. When Christopher asks every day to play this game again, I know it’s an instant winner." - Navigator Luna boardgamegeek.com/blog/13832/b...

April plays! Eight of these are now on my trade pile.

This is your fault, @dnlnwmn.bsky.social.

Oh hey, just decided to do a surprise 10% off sale on all orders at newmillindustries.com with the code ENDOFAPRIL at checkout. This will last exactly one week, so don't sleep on it. Thought folks could use some good vibes amidst all the tariff bullshit.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Finally being cultured.

Wow, what a great first day we had!! Open Playtesting and Feedback Frenzy will go until Midnight, but Blüdle is sleepy now 🤣 See you all tomorrow!! #UnpubFestival2025

Excited for Unpub this weekend! Here are the main prototypes I'm focusing on testing: Big Fish is a bluffing game where 1 player tries to figure out if everyone else is over or under the limit for the turn. If you feel like your hand is bad, that's OK, because everyone plays every hand!

Several of our members will be at @unpub.bsky.social this weekend! We have a full list on our website: gdofnc.herokuapp.com/content_post... and we'll continue adding to this thread over the next few days!
