Tom showing why he’s the best at what he does. A masterwork of a review for a masterwork of a game. Board games have never been better.

Huge congrats to the lovely team at @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social.

The Old King's Crown is absolutely fabulous. A sparkling bit of design that i went a bit mad trying to capture on video.

this is a very, very special game made by people who care tremendously. check it the HECK out !!

Oh boy, if it isn’t that time of year again! Tom’s gone and gotten himself addicted to a giant, knotty board game again. Please wish him a speedy recovery.

It was amazing to spend time chatting and running demos over the 3 days. Lovely to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones! We’ll see you all next time!

Big hugs x

Strange Games in the heart of Sussex. My fave event of the year. Camping + gaming shouldn’t work, but it DOES!

The Old King’s Crown. A game of richly textured strategic manoeuvres that ultimately result in card play that’s as taut as razor wire around your throat. Lovely stuff.

Emerging from the post UKGE exhaustion chrysalis. What a blummin’ weekend that was.

Bus. 95% prosaic bus route planning game. 5% acid trip about breaking the space-time continuum.

I absolutely will matey! I’m actually leaving Hachette shortly thereafter and onto pastures new (still within the games space!), but I’d love to give you a little tour of the new stuff again if you’ve got an hour or so free?

It’s great. Keeping the set list open whilst we play (and will probs print it off) but really enjoyed it. Played through the whole 12 rounds.

As someone who came into the tabletop gaming space through discovering reviews in video game media, this move from Polygon is terrifically sad.

I am no longer with Polygon, my home for nearly 13 years. I am proud of what my colleagues and I have accomplished over that period, and I am especially proud of the role the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social played in it all. Organize. Now. I am immediately available for hire.

Your work has extended this hobby’s reach into new circles, and I’ve personally met several people who credit you with bringing them into the hobby. Thank you for all of it Charlie.

Dabbling in the world of Hanafuda cards thanks to @huffnomore.bsky.social. Here’s Koi-Koi. A set collection game which roughly translates to “COME ON!!!!”
