DOG House A fixed partnership, domino trick taker with board placement for majority scoring!

The incomparable DJ Kennel has done it again! Featuring art from a real crafty @boardgameanimal.bsky.social. Happy to see my DOGs getting out there! This is a GOOD game too. Very burn brainy, very good.

Oh hey, look what's now on the store!

Copies are arriving on Tuesday, along with Hearts and Minds & The Fluffy Rite, so I figured I'd go ahead and make them available for purchase.

If you're waiting on a preorder and want to add Dead Channels, buy it and email me and I'll refund the new shipping.

Wagering Everything on Bronto Are wacky races the new zombies of board games? Probably not, but it strikes me as wild that I’ve played four distinct wacky race games within the span of a single year, yet nobody within my …

Dino Racer is Marceline Leiman's take on the wacky racer, the unexpected genre of the year, and it's a fresh, more involved, and oh so screamy approach to the format. Time to holler. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/04/08/d...

Earlier this year, I released a climbing/shedding game called Fries! Today, I finally finished reshooting and editing a rules/teach video. I hope it’s clear and you get to try my game! (And it’s available for publishing if anyone wants to, haha)

Just in time, here’s my game for March: Crabbage!

You play cribbage as normal, but instead of racing to get 121 points first, the points you earn fuel the actions you can take in order have the majority of as may areas as possible. That’s right, it’s cribbage area majority, babey!

Almost three years ago I released CardRunners, a 2p co-op cyberpunk card game about hackers trying to take down the Man.

Now that it’s been a while and woefully out of print, any publishers want to pick it up for some refinement and broader distribution? Just tossing it out there.

The cover of a card game box. The title is MUST/NOT and shows a tv testcard pattern in the background, with a layer of static over it. MUST is in a white futuristic italicized typeface and runs vertically from the bottom left to the top left. NOT is in a black spooky typeface and runs from the top right to mid-right. Daniel Newman is written below the T of NOT and the New Mill Industries logo is in the bottom right corner.

Decided to strip away the historical theme of this 5-year old cube rails game and start to think about:

"What if it's a cube rails game about tearing down an overly-industrialized society to create more green spaces?"

It opens up tons of interesting possibilities to explore. We'll see! #CCMF

In honor of international women’s day,

a FLGS in France let me know that they put my game High Tide alongside other excellent games made by women in the front of their shop!

Five up-and-coming designers to know These five newcomer designers are doing fascinating things in board games.

I wrote about five of interesting up-and-coming game designers in Don't Eat the Meeples this week — it was hard to cap the list at five, so I guess this is something I'll be revisiting. (My criteria for up-and-coming — no games released more than five years ago.)
