ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Art is anything one human being makes for other human beings. All games are art; all my games are equally art. Some of mine are more serious, some are baubles, some are more concerned with pushing boundaries or experimentation, but they're all made with thoughtfulness, love, and purpose.
What game of yours runs closest to/furtherest into art. I have always argued that creativity (inc games) is art or at the least contains some element of art. Not going to define art because I’d like to know your thoughts on what of what to do is art?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Should you playtest in-person or virtually? Why not both? Here are some upsides to each approach.
Playtesting Your TCG/Game — Paper or Pixels?
Playtesting your game sufficiently isn’t up for debate; it’s an absolute necessity. In my experience, that necessity is amplified when you’re working on a trading card game. The question in play is…

I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
