big review!

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.

Listen, we know you’re certainly busy playing Silksong. Lord knows we are.

But if you’ve got 10 minutes spare for the ol’ analogue fun - the cardboard times? Well, Tom’s gone and made a video about noughts and crosses. It’s better than it sounds, honest!!

keeper behaviour tbh

text messages - "I tried drawing a fun looking dog I saw but on my phone and it's horrifying"

followed by a (with all the love in the world) very poorly drawn image of a dog, sideways

weird !! email [email protected] and we'll try to sort! :)

Tom Brewster @tombrewster.bsky.social · Aug 14

huge props to Matt for sorting our tech on this one; it could not exist without him.

also i really hope folks don't mind me teaching/pitching games because about 5 hours of it is about to hit youtube; eep.

Tom Brewster @tombrewster.bsky.social · Aug 14

the site needs to be sustainable. i'm hoping that doing one (or two!) of these a year is a great combo of publisher exposure and keeping our own lights on. it's been a joyous process that just made me so excited to work in boardgames :)))

Tom Brewster @tombrewster.bsky.social · Aug 14

speaking from the heart; i was stunned by the quantity and quality of applications we got. so many of these games i was just fizzing to preview. expect to see many of these titles popping up in future susd coverage!!

Below, is an extremely offensive image from the game Ace of Spades published by Devir Games. The cavalier use of a slavery theme about a game that could LITERALLY BE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE and the offensive images to push this theme is abhorrent. You all should know better. 1/3
