This incredible video by @amabel.bsky.social has only been watched 5000 times which is a shame!
Not only is it a wonderful look into the game/toy industry that Amabel did a lot of research for, @nopunincluded.com also did a voice over that made me laugh very loudly.

The University of Maastricht has a very cool AI project (Ludii) that tries to apply historical game rules on found "board games" by playing simulated games on it.
They even published proposed rules for a game based on their latest find HOWEVER

Thanks to AI, we can play a Roman game again
For years a Roman stone found in Heerlen has kept people guessing: was it a game board or not?

Looking forward to Re;Match, the game seems like a perfect blend between a very cool production and a fun duelling game that strikes a good balance between giving you options but not making it too complex.
Re;MATCH - The Puzzle Fighter Board Game is simply DRIPPING with theme.
From arcade buttons as your health dials, to clearing multiple marbles in a chain like pressing the same button repeatedly to enter a combo, you'll feel like you're in an arcade slinging quarters again

I remember hearing interview about this game and thinking this would be a small low production affair. This looks incredible! 😳

Inception 2 is going to be nerdy! 🔥
Dreamed up a video of Shut Up and Sit Downs Matt Lees about a game called "Relay". And since they make excellent videos, I can now just design that game, since all aspects were covered in detail.

Watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and now I want to play a one-shot RPG in which all players play a lord hanging around a jousting tournament, getting drunk, and doing some informal politicing.
After each story scene there is a jousting mini game between two players!
Is there such a game?
