GMT has posted the P500 for Foxes and Lions, designed by the wonderful Paul Wright and Liz Davidson. This is the next game in the series that began with Here I Stand. I had a chance to play a demo last November and was so taken with its many innovations.

I make an average of 1 unboxing of a game I haven't designed every 8 years, so when I make one, you know the game probably looks good:

Foxes & Lions! Let’s gooooo. #circledc
(1) would be more clearly written as "There is dance music only in times of war", so by Gricean implicature I must conclude that (2) was intended.
The first game is Night Witches - www.nightwitches.com - designed by David Thompson and Liz Davidson and illustrated by Ian O'Toole. This will be one of the few opportunities to get the Limited Edition Ian O'Toole Box Cover.

Venice immediately proceeded to bribe Milan's mercenary captain and convince the HRE to attack Milan 😭 Don't worry though, the Pope is on his way to sort things out!

Having a morning playtest of Foxes & Lions (HIS system game I'm co-designing with Paul Wright) with @joedewhurst.bsky.social. Venice is both kicking butt and about to get wrecked by all the other powers who are clearly just jealous.

It's been a crazy time as the new creative director at Leder Games, but I'm settling in. In fact, I am delighted to announce a major typographic improvement to all of our games, past and future: We will be changing our official font to Papyrus! Can't wait to share even more innovations.
Yes, those are for control, with a crown on the royal control side (blank is noble control, which basically means you can't tax as much).

Played a great game of Baltic Empires with my local group today, I managed to sneak a national ambition win with Russia on round 5. Game is designed by Brian Asklev and forthcoming from @gmtgames.bsky.social! I'll have my copy at PunchedCon in May, although the game may be released by then.
