New comic! Bringing loads of games to game night and only ending up playing one or two small ones... Who else does this? 😂

👀 You can read this week's blog post (it's a long one!) at

Two panels. Above the left, it says: "Games I brought to game night". We see Heinze carrying a very big and heavy backpack holding at least 15 games (it shows the outlines of the boxes through the bag). Above the right panel it says: "Games we played at game night". We see the same image of Heinze carrying the back pack with only one small game highlighted in the entire backpack.

Games games games!

Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship. We crashed and burned hard.

Which is completely why I said I appreciated the honesty in the remark. We've all got a different lens and this conversation is a good reminder of that.

And it's this general blind spot that I'm surprised by.

As someone who has been spotlighting artists (via interviews) for YEARS, it's blindingly obvious to me how important the art is. I've been generally perplexed how it hasn't been obvious to everyone else.

I appreciate the admission because, from what I can see, making this connection has been a huge blind spot in the coverage of games in this industry for years. I've honestly never really understood it.

Failing Cole having a copy, fly to the UK and you can have mine!

Good suggestion. I usually always use alt text, I had it as a requirement, then reinstalled the app and it forgot and so did I.

Hot Streak!

First run. Act three boss defeated.
On we go to Ascension!

Ross 💙🎲 MoreGamesPlease @moregamesplease.com · Aug 16

That's awesome to see!

Ross 💙🎲 MoreGamesPlease @moregamesplease.com · Aug 15

First play. Slay the Spire board game.

This is a cooperative dungeon crawling deck builder. Upgrade your deck and take down bad guys.

It does a great job of emulating the feel of the videogame (compliment) while streamlining gameplay.

Act One complete. Looking forward to continuing the journey!

I'm just along for the ride. If it takes a while to complete, I'm just getting more value for money!

Blue Prince is a videogame about exploring a manor to find a mysterious 46th room with big board game energy.

The catch? This building's layout changes each day and as you explore you decide how to arrange the rooms.

It slowly reveals new secrets, rooms and puzzles to solve. It's calmly addictive.

Finally dipped into Balatro this weekend.

For those who don't know, it's poker x deck building x roguelike. Play poker hands, upgrade your cards, level up the power of the hands and try to overcome increasing scores.

Second play made it to the final boss but fell short. This could get addictive.
