New comic! Be honest… are you the one who rotates just the box lid or also makes sure the rulebook is rotated correctly? 👀

They're making a Ticket to Ride movie, the famous train game about *checks rulebook*

It's live!! The game I designed, Honeypot, just launched on Kickstarter!

Two years of loving work. Would be grateful if you checked it out & considered backing!

It's an "I stack, you choose" game where you play as secret agent bears setting and avoding traps!

If this game lets me ghost hack my opponents into thinking they scored VP while not scoring a thing, I'm on board. 😈
Just got to announce another incredible tabletop project. This year is going to be one heck of a ride.

Hey tabletop gamers, if you bought or were considering buying this bundle but got overwhelmed by the number of games to sort through, have I got the spreadsheet for you!!

All 1,074 games tagged as "physical" sorted by play style, with language, engine, and genre notated to the best of my ability:

Valentine's Day in our house took a dark turn when one of us manipulated the price of wood in the (until then) peaceful city of Kutná Hora... 😬

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! 😳
Just a little teaser from Night Witches.

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.
