Mostly board games, with a healthy dose of cinema and a pinch of novels.
Don't know you've heard of this game, probably not, but I tried Scrabble for the very first time. #boardgames

New video is up! This week I talk about the most important thing to consider when pitching - which has nothing to do with the game!

Just saw Captain America : Brave New World. I thought the film had really good intentions but couldn't deliver. A couple of scenes were good, but most of it felt to me like a cheap tv series. Not the worst in the MCU, but definitely not what it promised to be. 5/10. #captainamericabravenewworld

#GameDesign Tip: Run a search for any instance of "it" in your rules or card text. Ask someone else what they think "it" refers to.
i.e. "Tap a card. If it is red, gain an energy card. If it is blue, gain a resource card."
Does the second "it" refer to the energy card or the tapped card?

I'm still looking for designers for the TN indie game market, an event like the indie game night market, in April. It will be part of Nashville's tabletop day, so there will be plenty of gamers present.
If you can, share it so I can make it happen.

Just watched The Platform 2, on Netflix. If you're in the mood for a sci-fi (ish) movie that brilliantly reflects the wealth distribution and its failures, those two are simply great.
Disclaimer: it gets pretty violent.

Making a "duel" version of previously published board games has been trending in the past few years. Some were great, some felt unnecessary. King of Tokyo : Duel suprised me - I've always liked the original, but I've got to admit, Duel is better for short and tense 2-player games. #boardgames

I finally got around to read The Haunting of Hill House (1959), by Shirley Jackson. As a fan of Flannagan's series, it was long overdue. Vastly different, but still an interesting read. Ominous and delicate, from start to finish.
