Xenology has been nominated for a 2026 Origins Award for Best Heavy Strategy Game!
Big news! 🚨 I am happy to share that my game Xenology has been nominated for a 2026 Origins Award for Best Heavy Strategy Game! 👽 Thank you to everyone who played, supported, and shared this game. 🎲 #boardgames
"Huge time investment, little control" sounds like a summary of being human.
Today I want to share that Ryan Dancey and AEG have parted ways.
This is not an easy post to write. Ryan has been a significant part of AEG’s story, and I am personally grateful for the years of work, passion, and intensity he brought to the company. We have built a lot together.
As far as I know, an LLM can't read an existing boardgame rulebook and determine if that game is fun. It can learn about games that humans think are fun and try to splice them together, but most human game designers know it's not that simple.
Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.
Streisand Effect this shit.
Does Space Dealer fit?
Jacques Zeimet leaves a wonderful legacy. I have so many great memories of playing his games.
Text-only promotion for Board Game Beat listing www.wericmartin.com/follow for fediverse links.
Board Game Beat just opened! There's a bunch of content there already, and I'll be posting more throughout the week...including Spielwarenmesse coverage, a survey, and a video. Thanks so much for all your support!
I am not posting it through the Leder Games website, instead going to my personal network to look for candidates I know. We are looking for 1 possibly 2 graphic designers as I build our team for growth. This is not a remote position.
Thanks!

Trying out Apistocracy and maybe having too much fun. @ryanschneider.bsky.social @barcssarc.bsky.social
I was excited to finally see the first review of Xenology be posted by @expert-game-award.bsky.social www.expertgameaward.com/xenology_test/ #boardgames
My designer diary for Xenology is featured on BGG today. Check it out and give it a like! 👽 #boardgames boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogp...
I honestly thought I was onto something here. Was the designer's name for Unlock an anagram pseudonym? No, it turns out it is a very real name and a cool coincidence. Now I don't have to worry about how to fit in the C and Y. 🧩 #boardgames
If you review heavier board games and are looking for something new, I’m currently looking for reviewers for Xenology. Feel free to reach out. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/44... #boardgames
This week I got to playtest a prototype that I can only really playtest once a year - my version of White Elephant. I made it for personal use but if any publisher is interested in a holiday game, I'm open to it. 🌲❄️🎲 #boardgames
Spotted Xenology in the wild at the local game shop Dragon's Lair this week. Has anyone seen it show up near them? #boardgames
I'm curious myself. I was partially able to do it. I put a call out on Twitter (at the time) like you did, and a small publisher was interested. I signed but it never moved forward. I have a sell sheet with my games that I have the rights to that I present when I'm pitching, but no traction there.
I recorded a quick unboxing of Xenology. Here’s a look at what comes in the box. #boardgames
We completed Day 2 and I'm blown away! I couldn't believe that this day's puzzle actually worked. Kudos to the folks who designed the intricacies of the box! #boardgames
Started December with the Exit Advent Calendar - So far so good! ❄️🎲 #boardgames
