On @boardgamegeek.com, F.J. has posted another excellent article tying a book on history to its corresponding boardgame. In this case, a single card from @gmtgames.bsky.social's all-time classic, Twilight Struggle. @jasondcmatthews.bsky.social

Thanks to Brant and our friends at the Dragoons for this very kind write up of Circle DC @fortcircle.bsky.social @armchairdragoons.bsky.social
Gaming is always about people. And that is what makes Circle DC so special. Here are my friends Tory (votes for women) Xavi & Kim (Devir Games) Elizabeth (Sanibel) and Connie (Apiary). @fortcircle.bsky.social @devirgames.bsky.social
We had Avalon Hill/Victory Games/Army Historian Kevin Boylan last month. So I think the core issue is for our friends at the Dragoons to pay closer attention.

Popped into Wargame Wednesday at Labyrinth Games and saw @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social and @jasondcmatthews.bsky.social!
We’re lucky tonight to be joined by Liz Davidson. Liz is the codesigner of the upcoming game Night Witches, she hosts the popular podcast, Beyond Solitaire and is Leder Game’s creative director
As always, Labyrinth, at 6:00pm — discussion, demo, and open historical gaming!
Check out @heavycardboard.bsky.social’s TENSE play-through of Chicago ‘68 (with a lively post game discussion!)
Really one of the most elegant double blind systems I've ever played. Hats off to Volko for this fantastic, playable design.
Do not forget to support the 2nd Edition of my "Littoral Commander: Indo-Pacific" #wargame!

Ancient wisdom. If only I’d known sooner.

Superb side-quest to Westminster College and the Churchill Museum, site of the Iron Curtain Speech, in Fulton Missouri 80 years ago this year. @churchillmuseum.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social @fortcircle.bsky.social
Fun afternoon with Johns Hopkins SAIS Wargame enthusiasts. SAIS has moved from the DuPont Circle area and refurbished the former Newseum into a graduate school. I have a lot of pics next to segments of the Berlin Wall. But can always stand for one more. @saiswargaming.bsky.social
Check out our latest video with Candice Harris taking a closer look at Imperial Struggle, the spiritual successor of the award-winning, massively popular card-driven game, Twilight Struggle: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EBb...
Latest Monthly GMT Update (mailchi.mp/e8e1e3706c71...) presents the progress on development of Twilight Struggle Anniversary Edition. The components looks very nice and we are going to get a great product!

Will Thompson’s Winter Rabbit is the evolution of his work during the Zenobia Awards — which seek to expand participation in historical game design. This beautiful realization of his vision by Absurdist Productions deserves all the accolades it’s receiving.
Hey, yeah I did do that.
In the house: The Hunt for Blackbeard!
@fortcircle.bsky.social does a lot of things right, but one thing that they do as well or better than any other company is connect their games to history. Shown here are the historical artifacts for The Hunt for Blackbeard.

Happy Death to Self-proclaimed Emperors Day, for those who celebrate.
lol one of those. Just fixed
A little Awesome Con 2026. This is DC’s all fandom event. In recent years there’s been a major tabletop component. So I showed a little Twilight Struggle Red Sea and Votes for Women. @awesomecon.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social @fortcircle.bsky.social
Happy International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. The perfect time to reconnect with Tory Brown’s @downtowntbrown.bsky.social brilliant design, Votes for Women on the history of the Suffragist Movement. @fortcircle.bsky.social
Totally agree
Tonight’s the night, hobby legend and prominent military historian, Kevin Boylan will be our guest at Wargame Wednesday. 6:00 PM at Labyrinth on Capitol Hill. Presentation, Q&A, Demo and open gaming to follow.
I totally agree with your conclusion.
No other person had as large a share in ending the Cold War as Mikhail Gorbachev. The price: The hegemony in Eastern Europe, and the existence of the Soviet Union. (Images from #1989 @jasondcmatthews.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social) Read more: cliosboardgames.wordpress.com/2026/02/22/g...
Thank you to our friends at Rally the Troops (www.rally-the-troops.com) for this superb implementation of Imperial Struggle. I think this will give many of us, myself included, the opportunity to get many, many more plays in.
