I think some readers come across BoardGameWire and think it must be a relatively big operation, backed by a larger company. For clarity - it's not! It's just me, Mike, fitting in interviewing, researching and writing hundreds of articles each year around a day job and taking care of my two kids! 1/2

Played Pax Porfiriana last night. My 2nd dive into a Pax game. While I got smoked, the card play was really interesting. Excited to see the "ultimate edition" coming out later this year. @iongamedesign.com #boardgames #history #gaming #cardgame #mexico #tabletop
