Happy holidays, everyone!

One last stop at the Gibson Garage before leaving Tennessee.

Yubibo-ing with family!

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/...

💼 I’m looking for work as a board game designer. 🌎 I’m open to in-person, hybrid or remote work. ⭐ I’ve previously worked at the Uzzle and made Abandon All Artichokes, Starry Night Sky, and other board games.

"[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."

Holiday partying it up with my Grinch margarita!

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

Rob Reiner was involved with @glaad.bsky.social as well and helped further progress on LGBTQ representation in media. He said of his work on behalf of LGBTQ rights: “Each one of these steps makes us more one country, and reminds us we are all part of the family of man.”

I wrote about one of my absolute favorite games, Phantom Ink, and four others in this board-game roundup for 2025. Check it out!

if they marketed their little chat bots as glorified personal assistants, hey siri, what's the difference between eggplants and courgettes, they'd have a decent product with an identifiable niche. instead steal everyone's stuff and scream THE WORLD IS CHANGED 4EVER which outs them as total weirdos

Don’t forget that while tomorrow is Black Friday, you should save a little money to back Queen of Spies when it goes live on Dec. 4–next week! ;) It’s the first design from @djackthompson.bsky.social and me to hit crowdfunding and we are really proud of it. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Thanks, Honeybaked Ham, for taking my pre-order and then not telling me your satellite store doesn't carry roasted turkey and sides when I pick up my order at 6 pm tonight.

I don't know how to introduce this one. After three titles about opium peddling, I figured the rest of SDHistCon would be breezy by comparison. I was wrong. The next day, I experienced one of the toughest board games I've ever played. Perhaps *the* toughest. spacebiff.com/2025/11/24/u...

If you doubt me when I say that Habemus Papam can be taught in less than 10 minutes, listen to @meeplelady.bsky.social do it in 5!

This is fantastic!

Five terrific recommendations for your next board game. I totally agree with @sirbearsworth.bsky.social's thoughts on Magical Athlete. It's a brilliant racing game! #boardgames
