I don't dwell on regrets, but I do try to learn from the game design and product design of every game we make so I can better serve you in the future. If you're curious about these reflections, check out Sunday's video: youtu.be/gp60-URV_5k

Tapestry Digital still has months of development remaining for Mindgate Studios, but I was really impressed by what I saw during a recent 30-minute demo. I recorded and shared it here: youtu.be/ZYfw-J5XSRU

My new favorite games (to me at least!), Up or Down? and Slide. Easier to teach and play. Both are also on Board Game Arena. What games have you enjoyed playing in 2026? #BoardGames #TabletopGames

A Tale of Two Meeples | Board Game Reviews on Instagram: "“We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?” If one Lord of the Rings trick taking game was good, does it hold that two is better?

The second game in The Lord of the Rings Trick Taking series proves that much like with second breakfast, sometimes more is better! #boardgames @officedoggames.bsky.social

This is a feed of designers bringing their games to Indie Games Night Market at PAX Unplugged 2025 next week. Right now, it is chock full of folks cutting, printing, boxing, and otherwise willing their games to life.

One of the many reasons I love Stonemaier Games. They love their fans and support and it shows. Example A below

Suddenly care? Many have cared for years and gamers are some of the most inclusive folks I know, at least in my experience.

The cover for Vantage showing an alien world with a volcanic peak on a green mountain, a body of water, snowy mountains and desert-like areas, all viewed from above through what appears to be a porthole.

Happy Vantage Day to those who celebrate!

And no this is not an ad (ad-Vantage?). But if @stonemaiergames.com wants to send me something…lol

Really excited to crash into this world over and over again. It looks like as much an experience as a game. I really admire the boldness of the design.
