RIP Reinhold Wittig, one of the big gaming pioneers in Germany has sadly passed away.

In the 80s he was THE small indie-publisher, who established the "tube cames", i.e. games in a cube here.

Also his artwork of games like Mรผller&Co is one of the best until today.

Threaded: A Game of Needles and Points (Saturday Review) | Tabletop Games Blog Bargello designs are built from vertical stitches, laid in sequence so that colours rise and fall, creating flowing waves, shifting flames, or soft gradients that almost seem to move across the fabric. Used in ornate upholstery in 17th-century Italy and applied to chairs and other furniture, these patterns require precision and concentration. Even a single misplaced stitch will completely break the rhythm. As a highly-skilled embroiderer, it is up to you to make sure your needle is correctly Threaded: A Game of Needles and Points by Ellie Dix from Osprey Games with art by Maria Surducan.

I think 1889 is all right 2p, but it gets better with 3 or 4. At 5 it starts to get a bit too chaotic I find. So, if possible get an extra player, but if this is your first try of 18xx and you can only get one other player, then itโ€™s still worth a go, just to get a feel for the genre. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

The 18 Card Challenge: No Shuffling Ever have a game where you won โ€“ or lost โ€“ because a key card came up at the exact right time? Maybe it was dealt to you at setup or the luck of the draw landed in your favor at the moment of victory....

Getting the design itch again and this No Shuffle Design Challenge from Button Shy is really interesting! Can you design an 18-card game with no system randomness?

Every game I've had published came from a design contest, so let's see how this one goes!
