As a pretty active user over at BGG since 2003(!), I'm deeply honored by Arcs' performance this year at the Golden Geeks. The game brought home 3 metals: Most Innovative, Best Expansion, and Best Wargame and was a runner up for Art and Presentation and Heavy Game of the Year.

・Same amount of item and ambush cards
Scoring and item play feels just like the standard deck.
・Super low costs!
Most cards need only one piece—craft like crazy!

If overtly L.G.B.T.Q. books continue to be banished from library shelves, then it may be left to older works like “Ferdinand the Bull” and “Frog and Toad” to smuggle in queer-friendly themes.

I appreciate designers being honest about the games they create. This design from Yusuke Sato is about ditching groups of numbered cards to score points, and that's it.

In 2015, the game designer Davey Wreden declared that there is “a culture where violence is understood . . . to be the central means of problem-solving” in video games. His new game is a rebuttal, prizing dialogue and contemplation over heroic acts.
The Game Designer Playing Through His Own Psyche
Davey Wreden found acclaim in his twenties, with the Stanley Parable and the Beginner’s Guide. His new game, Wanderstop, grapples with the depression that followed.
