We had a great CoLab team for these games. Really proud of the results!
If there's one football/soccer rule that just seems wrong, it's that a missed penalty kick is a live play. I think there are a couple of options for what happens next that make more sense. And eliminating this weird chaos would benefit the game for me at least.
Nice! Right there with ya ;-). @fanfactories.bsky.social
Thanks for playing through Frenzy Falls, Banz! Glad you enjoyed it.
Tagging @fanfactories.bsky.social (co-designer) as well.
The unboxing & playing starts at about 2:21 on the stream: www.twitch.tv/videos/27483....

Thanks, for looking at Frenzy Falls! Tagging my co-designer, @fanfactories.bsky.social.
I saw him lead INXS live in concert twice. What an amazing stage presence he had. His talent was stunning. INXS at its peak was one of the best bands in the world, and his vocals and performance just sealed the deal. His death hit me pretty hard too.
Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.
Orban has lost. What a great day! (Unlike some sundowning clowns we know, he has admitted he lost, too.)
Lately I've been thinking about the different tabletop game design community hubs and how they attract different audiences.
Bluesky - Focused on networking and casual sharing
Reddit - Seems like mostly newer designers with specific questions
BGG - Forums mean longer conversations are easier

3M on NASA YouTube alone! 😮😮 #ArtemisII
A Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo search gives plenty of “atmosphere accounts” on the first page … and exactly none are this. Wait, what is this one anyway?
The YouTube thumbnail for the Watch It Played tutorial for the card game Frenzy Falls.
Very pleased to be sharing the newest game from designers Randy Flynn (@rf-seattle.bsky.social) and Joseph Z Chen (@fanfactories.bsky.social)! Frenzy Falls will have you competing for points as your cards ride the currents - so hang on and let's learn how to play: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwLP...
Thank you, Rodney! Such a lovely & straightforward video - so easy for folks to get a feel for the game.
HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.
AOC: This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
Not one word of this is hyperbole.
The How To Play video for Frenzy Falls from @watchitplayed.bsky.social is up! And it's nicely short and to the point. Thanks, Rodney!

Info about an account sharing viral video of the moon saying it’s Artemis 2 but it’s not, and that account is blocking people who point it out
Just in case folks miss this due to the block
I think it's the first time I've bowled since my rotator cuff surgery (a long time ago). And my elbow is in therapy. So, my motions were mostly about not injuring my arm. Of course, I injured something else! I'm already feel okay though. It wasn't a bad pull.
I pulled a muscle in my ass while bowling this week. 🤷
Congrats!!
Hegseth just fired the Army Chief Gen Randy George. Immediately. Gen George the most competent and experienced combat leaders I have ever encountered. Courage. Integrity. Takes care of soldiers. A government of gangsters.
Oh, I wasn't aware of Patterns. I definitely need to check it out! Thanks.
Such a cute pup!
Mandala is an under appreciated gem! I see you have some nice 2p games in that list. I love High Tide as well.
On March 26, the International Olympic Committee announced that all athletes competing in women’s sports will be required to undergo genetic eligibility testing.
Policies like these have their roots in Nazi-era fears about gender, marking a return to a discriminatory model of surveillance.
New Multiple Win Conditions! Today I’m talking about “Find the Fun”. One of the most common bits of advice I got as a new designer

The cover for Walkable City but it has "Dawn of the Final Day. 24 Hours Remain" from Majora's Mask overlaid on top. In the upper right corner is the creepy moon from the game towering over the city and even the title itself.
Today is the last day of Walkable City's kickstarter campaign!
Spread the word of an optimistic urbanist board game so we can imagine a better future on the table, & then on our own streets! Car dependency is a scourge + alt modes of transit are the answer!
